    Default Which ABBA singer is better?

    any thoughts on whether any swedish brand is significantly better than another? ie is heljestrand better than engstrom and antonberg, or are they all good, with some liking some and others liking others?

    The old "bird in the hand" line applies here.

    The Swedish razor in your hand will shave you way better today than the 10 that are still up for auction on ebay....

    I don't think you'll notice any difference between them other than that one razor might suit you better size/shape wise than the next. My razors run from "Just made by Joe Chandler" to mid 1800s and while I love my Chandler... there's not a hugh difference in shave quality to my oldest razor. Yes, there is a difference...... but it's more of a "this one feels better than that one" or "this one holds the edge slightly better" but in the end, if they are sharp, they all shave great.

    Regards

    Eskeltuna is the word you're looking for. I like both of mine a lot!

    Edit: I should clarify that. That's not a brand, but a place name like Sheffield or Solingen in case you didn't know.
