Thanked: 1083Favourite steel?
So my friends, wheres your favourite type of steel from?
We have good ol' Sheffield, Swedish, Solingen and Japanese, I know a few of you are partial to some American steel from Little Valley NY too. Then we have more modern steel like 02 and Bőhler from Austria.
I maybe bias but Sheffield steel is about as good as it gets, not too hard so easy to hone and just feels great against my chops.
However, If I could only shave with one steel it would be Tamahagane. It takes an edge to a sharpness that I cant achieve with Sheffield and edge retention is second to none. Most of all with my girly like skin and wire beard it suits me perfectly. Every shave is blissful.
Thoughts?
