Has any one started with reasonably priced razor such as Edwin Jagged, and gone on to something like top of the range feather? If so, did you get a better shave, smoother and closer?
Expensive razors have better materials and brand. This is not a great shave guarantee
And materials such as stainless steel, bronze? Better than zamak.. Beautiful razors from artisans.If you compare the quality of ATT and parker variant, for example.I have not seen better materials in expensive razors. Paying extra for a meaningless brand is not an intelligent decision.

I don't see SS or bronze as superior. Brass is ideal for DE, and SE razors. Zamak is should be avoided.
I agree that you could argue that brass is the best material for razors, but Fatip is the only mainstream brand using it unless you go vintage. SS has the advantage that it doesn't need to be plated to keep it looking nice and not smelling funny.
Perhaps you would consider me to be lucky. A ZamacK razor would be more than suitable at my age......when I go....SS will be no different. they will all end up in a boot sale for pennies.Actually guys I want to buy a 'for life' razor.

Brass is however nowadays expensive. As well, the old industrial stamping eqpmt. used "back in the day" .
Brass isn't what I'd call expensive, and it's much cheaper to machine than SS, and it polishes easier. I'd like to see German silver, "nickel silver", used for modern razors.
Some modern SS razors are plated anyway, because they are only corrosion resistant, not corrosion or stain proof.
