And how can you know that, if you haven't tried one as you say? There could be a significant difference. Or not. The fact that you enjoy your shaves with your NOS, I guess if you use it it's not NOS anymore but rather in excellent condition, is another story.
How's this: "Formally" NOS. Better?
BTW, I don't have to shave with every single razor ever produced to recognize a BBS shave. There are NO differences between a BBS and a BBS last time I checked.
Unless a Wolfman takes off a subtile micro-layer of epidermis that I am unaware of, I'll stick with my original statement.
Lastly, you are not paying $500 for a better shave, just a more expensive razor. Sure it may be pretty, but better shave, gimme a break.
I must add something else. It's posts like the above that do our newer wet-shavers a disservice. Telling them that a Wolfman will give them the greatest shave they will ever get is not good advice. Let me be perfectly clear. I have NOTHING against Wolfman razors. NOTHING. They are beautiful, well-made and extremely expensive. So is a Rolls Royce, but to imply that one will do a better job than another is patently false.
Oh cool, my post was a disservice. At the same time, you haven't tried a razor, yet you are pretty good at making assumptions about the performance of it, comparing a "NOS" Gillette that you have to a Wolfman you haven't even tried. Tell me about a disservice.
And we have a post full of inaccuracies.
I didn't tell anyone that a Wolfman will give the greatest shave. I can't know that.
I didn't imply anything. I was more clear than you can digest. Without having tried a razor
you can't know. There could be a significant difference between them, OR NOT. You are the one who doesn't imply but clearly says like it's a commonly accepted fact that a Ranger Tech shaves just as well( sorry, do you have any specific Wolfman in mind?) or even better.
But, comparing the perfomance of a razor you have to one you haven't, it's straight up comedy.
