Stainless steel razors don't have to cost a lot
I've recently acquired a DS Cosmetics T7 (Mamba clone)
It shaves perfectly well - absolutely smooth with irritation free results, and retails for less than £30 delivered
Does it shave better than a £200 Stainless Timeless ? - in my opinion, no - but, they shave differently. . . The Timeless has more heft and the fit and finish is markedly better.
For me, stepping up to say, a Wolfman is out of the question - I couldn't justify the outlay on a shaving implement, no matter how well they may shave.
I hear what the Vintage advocate guys are saying, each to their own - 'live and let live'
I have only owned one Vintage razor - a Fatboy, and to be perfectly honest I wasn't blown away by the way it shaved. It was nice to use for sure, but it wasn't my thing.
Of course, the above may be complete shit and if you think so, should be dismissed as such.
