Razors

The main advantages of vintage razors:

• Heat and mechanical treatment of metals, unrivalled by modern manufacturers. This allows for better sharpening of the razors to keep them sharp for a long time and shave with comfort. This is also helped by Steel aging - Changes in microstructure that occur over time or in a controlled manner after heat treatment (quenching and tempering). Such tools often easier to sharpen and "holds" the blade longer than some new ones, even if their nominal HRC is similar.
• Exact geometry. I have never seen a vintage razor crooked, which is unfortunately not the case with modern razors.
• Time-tested quality. Vintage razors are 100 years old or more. Nevertheless, most of them have survived to this day!
• New and used razors to suit all tastes and pockets!Japanese and German razors tend to be hardened to a harder edge and will appeal to those who like a more aggressive shave. Of course, the nature of the work also depends on the sharpening.

  British and French vintage razors are characterized by a smooth shave.

  Swedish steel (also used by Japanese) is probably the sharpest of stainless steels.
