In my experience most Solingen blades of that size are made from #14 blanks, and they all seem to perform similarly.
Additionally, edge retention has never been a concern with any high quality Solingen blade. I strop my razors after shaving and lightly coat them in mineral oil, which defenitely helps maintain the edge.
Having an increasingly larger rotation of razors also makes it difficult to measure edge retention.:D
Hone it up, give it a go. Ya might be surprised
There is that old expression about books and covers. The first time I saw a Filarmonica in those tacky green scales, I thought yikes that is probably junk, but now we are all aware of their cult following.
This arrived Thursday. It’s an impressive piece of work.

Primitive yet fresh looking at the same time.
Sweet razor.
