I was recently thinking about my favourite razors and the Weishi made the cut.

Both the long and short? Much difference in The shave?

If you’re talking about blade edge life during the shaves? All I can say is YMMV depending on how thick is your stubble and how slick is your soap, without applying any pressure during your shave, because, everybody is different as YMMV.

Oh no, is there much difference in how the Weishi 9306 shaves in the long handled variant vs the short handled version?
 
I often have sellers regret over the Blackland Dart because it was such a handsome razor but then I remember it was not efficient enough under the chin for the level of aggressiveness
Hawk v3 OC
Gillette #15 #58
Smart Helix Apollo
Fatip Piccolo

...and how could I forget the top end razor that opened my eyes to another level of quality Timeless 0.68 SS OC Scalloped Cap

Some super razors in the above lists!

I’ve only got a small collection compared to some here, and have 8-9 in regular rotation… but if I had to choose just one then it would be my Karve CB Stainless with the C plate. I had the brass CB which I use with the C Open Plate and also D plate to ring the changes but the Karve Stainless CB is the only razor I’d die for.
 
I like the Wunderbar, the Timeless Slim OC with scalloped cap and the Smart Helix Apollo Light, aggressive plate, a lot.

Will probably get a HAWK from Razorock next. My first step into the SE razor world. It's affordable and I can barely buy a Vector right away soon, I already overspent on flashlights and video games lately.:censored:
 
Homelike Shaving CTAPT SB .90
Homelike Shaving CTAPT OC .90
Razorock Game Changer 0.84-P
Razorock Hawk V3 SS
Gillette Heritage

Not the most impressive list, but my razor collection is smaller than it used to be an I can't say I've loved any of my other razors like these ones

+1 for the Dart as a smoother than a R41 but the same experience when shaving my chin area.
