In general, I get better shaves from Solingen razors (and even better from Eksiltuna), but shave more often with Sheffields. I like the historical connection I feel when I shave with really old blades.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

I feel the classic English blades from W&B and J. Rodgers give the smoothest shave. The next best are TIs drawn from Sheffield steel. The DOVO's give a great shave but are not as slick. I have also found the old English blades yield a sharp edge with little effort. My current favorite is my 6/8's W&B.

I like all that have tried, but I do tend to favor the Sheffields. When I each 100 then I may feel differently.

Nothing bad about Solingen razors. There are a lot of very nice Solingen razors.
But I prefer Sheffield.

Sheffield for me too. They just feel a lot less hard, brittle and a lot nicer on both hone and face.
