Hello,
I have read certain claims that steel from old stock razors (historical TI, or Le Grelot for example) is better than TI new steel ("carbonsong 135") razors. I only have TI made from new steel so I can't tell anything. I am considering getting another razor. Does anyone here know if there really is such difference i.e. that a old steel is somehow better than new one? for example comparing historic TI and TI forged from new steel? I have also read that some claimed Le Grelots are better shavers than TI , supposedly because of different steel and perhaps also grind (though if I am not mistaken those old Le Grelots were finished by TI anyway). What do you think? Is there any research on this matter?
regards,
Aleksander
