    It is different, in terms of how the edge feels when you're shaving. So for some guys it may be 'better' and for others the other one is better. Typical YMMV.

    Anyway, my theory is to learn the one thoroughly before branching out. "Beware the man who only has one gun..."

    Hi scouthikerdad, I like that man with one gun quote.
    I agree with that philosophy. Reminds me of a Bruce lee quote that goes something like. 'Fear not the man who knows ten thousand kicks, fear the man who has practiced one kick ten thousand times'
    Just thought I'd share lol. And very nice 'gun' you have there btw.

    I like my 2 YG 10 inchers, but these 3 finishers are my favourite for a final progression. I use them from left to right, a fine CF, my finest CF and what I think is a LI, my finest stone.
