I like my vintage razors and think the pinnacle in safety razors may have been reached many decades ago.
The modern mass produced DEs I've tried have offered nothing better than my vintage razors.
In fact, my five favourite DEs are all vintage.
I haven't tried a modern stainless DE. Do they merit the high price tag?
I've been DE shaving for about 5 years now. The first couple with a Merkur 34C then a variety of vintage Gillette's which I much preferred.
However earlier this year I bought a Rockwell 6S and only used a different razor a handful of times since. I seem to get a much closer shave with less irritation with it. I'm not saying it's because it's modern or SS but it just works for me? (I'm still "collecting" vintage ones though )
