Thanked: 118Bob is right. A fine edge on good steel cuts well and generally gives about the same comfort on a shave. That's why so much on SRP is devoted to getting the right edge and maintaining it.
Among my favorite Sheffield and Solingen razors are several humble American made Torreys, Gencos, an H. M. Christensen, and even a couple Electric Cutlerys, just to name a few.
Where it starts feeling different is the blade size and configuration. Wedge vs Full Hollow, 5/8 vs 15/16, Spanish vs French point, smiling etc. I also notice a difference is steel manufacture obviously when honing. Carbon, Stainless, etc. These things start getting in to personal preference.
My bottom line is my favorite razor is a quality razor!May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!
