I’m surprised I don’t see more of these in SOTDs.

That’s a really good point. There are quite a few flying around on the sub, and indeed, they should get more use, given how good they are. I wonder whether it’s one of those price anchoring situations, where it acts as “the cheap one” that justifies quickly getting a fancier one and relegating the Schweinchen to the drawer? I know I’ve been tempted to do that 😅

That makes sense. Of the three I have [I know. I’m out of control] I reach for the two custom-made ones more than the one I did not specify.

  Do you see much/any difference in shaving quality or feeling between the piggy and the 14-2 version?
  
  I’m thinking about getting in the next year or so a Koraat, and I’m wondering about whether it’s worth spending more for the 14-2. The thing is that I find the scales of the Spaarschweinchen rather ugly (at least on photos), and I’m afraid I might be superficial enough to let that interfere with my enjoyment.

    I don’t own the piggy. I have a 7/8 near wedge, a 6/8 full hollow custom, and a 14-2.0. They all feel differently in-hand, but shave equally well. The 14-2.0 is, well, magic, though [hint: @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 🙂]. I don’t mind the looks of the piggy, but I completely understand your point of view.

    Beautiful razors, all of those!

    That’s no wonder: it has the power of the ice-age! 🦣🦣

    If you want to find out before you buy one, I’d be happy to loan you my Schweinchen.

    I don’t have a 14-2, but if it’s anything like a 14, and @gcgallant’s makes me think it is, then it’ll be a very different rescue than the thick Sheffield grind Schweinchen.

    I’m at the same time tempted and terrified: what happens if I transform your razor into a smoking piece of rust?
    
    Let me think about it 🙏
