[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 561171, member: 1211"] how to say this without sounding like a jerk...that article isn't written by people who are into DE wet shaving. I say that because a well known, artisan brand like Above The Tie wasn't even mentioned. That article is big name stuff, like if someone wrote about tobacco and only mentioned Lane and Peterson . That's not to say those razors are crap, but it really is only a surface view of the DE razor situation. And I'm not saying this either because $400 razors weren't mentioned. It's simply not from someone INTO the hobby. Those are all mass produced razors, though the Feather is considered an upper level quality razor (all stainless steel). It's a lot easier to get away with that perspective when talking about blades, because the machines necessary to make blades aren't something just anyone can build and create a start-up. *there's a ton of interesting, obsessive razors being designed and sold these days. same for brushes and new knot development. and a lot of those razors are less than $100, and the brushes are less than $30. you don't have to spend a load to get into that next tier.
