I have 60+ (haven't counted in quite a while) of all types of steel. Spanish, English, French, Russian, German, Polish, Japanese, American, etc. Old and new. For some unknown reason the early 20th century extra hollow english blades fit my face best of all. They take a wicked edge and hold it for and extensive period. I rest my blades 7-10 days between shaves and use latigo and horsehide strops before & after each shave. I go to canvas & linen (unpasted) if it needs a touchup. They rarely touch a hone more than once a year.

Just my $0.02. YMMV as always
