    Best edge: Der Schulze
    longest lasting shavable edge: Dovo bismark (seriously did about 3.5 months of every day shaving before it needed honed)

    Although I would say that my answer on this would hold more weight as my experience level grows, I seem to hold the best edge on my 1800 Clark and Hall wedge, followed by a pre-18xx (no "England" on the tang) Wade and Butcher wedge... third up probably a Heljistrand.
    That my two longest-holding edges are both wedges may be more of a comment on my particular (peculiar?) honing abilities, as a majority of my collection (40+/-) are German full, half and quarter hollows. Go figure.

    There's a Martensite trout swimming strongly against the austenitic current.

    My best edge definitely belongs to my baby, a near new 8/8 Blue Wonder, which also holds its edge extremely well. Close second would be and old beat up Henckels 50 that's got a decent amount of hone wear, staining, and has been worn down to a 4/8. Sure, it aint much of a looker, but hell I just love it to death.

    My Puma #69. It might not look pretty, but it is a joy to shave with.

    For some reason, my Henckels #38 never seems to need honing and is always a guaranteed DFS. Strop-Friendly, I suppose!

    I rest my case.
