@StratMan from what you say, then yes...I think you are right about the 1.25 being better for you.
I like a heavy handle anyway so I'm probably not much use to you about that.
Remember though that at 72 I am one day going to end up as an old man (not yet, but one day). I have arthritis starting in the base of both thumbs so my grip is not the best it could be. May be why I like the weight to sit in my hand better? With my lovely wee NEW SC I do find it to be a tad light for me to hold. I may put that up on BST one day so someone else can love it!
I have recently (in the last few weeks) decided that maybe, just maybe I might try some of this BBS stuff I read about.
Which has led me to think about my razors. I might, maybe, just possibly get a new baseplate or two for the Timeless, Karve, etc (purely in the quest for knowledge of course).
Anyway, today's shave was great. Nice and smooth. First cut on this Feather so it should be sweeter tomorrow.
It felt smooth still, but did cut closer than the Winner blade.
I can have fun now with my blade stash, and checking out what blades perform better re the OC or SB side.
@StratMan it's a shame you don't live closer 'cos then I could mail you my Wolfman to try first.
Maybe you need to change islands? We are Aussie's Eastern Islands aren't we?
