    01 Tool Steel is my least favorite metal.

    It seems brittle and soul less imo.
    I have lots of 01 razors.

    Since I discovered vintage Sheffield there has been no looking back.
    T.I steel is Amazing too

    Sheffield is good. Swedish is good. Solingen is good. Haven't tried French or Spanish but none would last in the market if they weren't good.

    Got my Jerry Stark made in America razor. I really like it. I noticed it isn't ground toe to tail as narrow as European razors. Has some real weight and balance. I had Jerry grind it to a full hollow and When I got it I decided to go to my Naniwa 12, Suehiro 20k and then the Mastro Livi loom strop - Chromium Oxide linen and skin. It really takes the hone well and the blade gives a close and smooth shave. The birch scales are really special. Just ordered another with a smile blade. Great quality and service.
