That's no fun. The thrill of the chase is a lot of the fun.

scripts and bots were needed in 2005. Now you have browser plug-ins : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...epgg?hl=en

Why would I check a website when the browser can do it for me Smile.

That's basically a bot.

It's the above stated reasons that I simply do not CARE if I ever own one. Sorry Wolfman lovers, but my NOS 1941 Ranger Tech is just as beautiful and shaves just as well...maybe better.

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.

BBS does not always equal BBS. Longevity of the BBS is a huge variable and that is where some razors shine.

You CANNOT shave closer than skin level. Period.

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.
