Hello! I have been a lurker for a while on SRP, getting lots of very valuable information for a newbie straight shaver, so thank you.

I wondered if someone might tell me their opinion about these two paddles. I've bought from the Invisible edge before, but found this company selling paddles too. The difference in the descriptions comes down to the "spring" of the paddle - something I wasn't sure about.

Strops, brushes & soaps

Many thanks!
