There are exceptions to every rule, but, from my general experience, this is not the case. American razors that I have used tend to be harder than Solingen, and thus a fair bit harder than Sheffield, razors. I'd say they are more like Swedish or Japanese razors. This is part of why I have yet to hone my Genco Wedge. Usually, the combination of hard steel and a heavy grind is not enjoyable to me; I'm not really sure how to describe the feeling that I don't like. I guess more aggressive/a bit unforgiving?
Some examples have been quarter hollows from Cmon, DublDuck, (both German), Heljestrand (Swedish) and Hayashi (Japanese). I do, however, quite like Torrey half hollows, so it's clearly not always the same. I just don't want to be disappointed by this beautiful Genco.
