Sheffield or Solingen
Best shaving is subjective but which do you think takes and holds the best edge?

They are both on equal footing Solingen or Sheffield both make great razors anything pre 1890s then Sheffield definitely make the best stuff, personally my preference would be Japanese.

Don't forget Swedish, American and French made razors either. I don't have any Japanese made razors, should cure that sometime, but have razors from 6 different countries and all seem to shave well if you can put an edge on them.

I really like American steel. But they all take great edges.

I truly think I depends on the honer and their ability. I think each whether, Sheffield or Solingen, to be great metal.

Vintage razors before 1900, Sheffield or American. I just picked up 2 vintage Sheffield's mid 1800's they are fantastic. Modern razors, on a budget get an Aust. Money no object, Mastro Livi. I got 5 Livi's and they are really special.
