  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

I have this long-running and slow-going experiment with these twin razors. One's stainless steel, the other one isn't and they are completely identical otherwise. So much so that I can't tell them apart unless I use a scale because the stainless one is heavier by just shy of one gram.

I'm thinking that at some point, I should start feeling a difference, but today is not that day. They are the same razor for all intents and purposes. One day...

Do you notice any difference with how easy these are to hone, or how well they keep an edge?

It's cool that you have two razors with such a slight difference. I could also see myself trying to sleuth out some difference between the two!

They're still both on their factory edges, and both still keeping them well.
