But breaking it down into how they worked the steel and how they did the grinding is where I think more of the differences came from.. JMHO
As to which is better again I think it is more about the types of razors more than just the steels... Myself I am not all that partial to the Sheffielders, nothing wrong with them at all, I just prefer Solingen and American razors...
