how do you guys like shouldered vs shoulder-less grinds to shave with

I prefer shoulderless, because eventually when there is a shoulder one will have to dig into it while honing and that causes some problems.

 

[Mr.Magnus]

I prefer shoulderless aswell.
Nice find on the razors Mainaman

 

[Pensacola Tiger]

Another vote here for shoulderless.

 

[DwarvenChef]

For me it all depends on the condition of the blade. I hate having to fix a blade that has the shoulder sticking out, with out power tools it's hard to grand that shoulder even with the blade. If the shoulder is out of the way I have no problems with them.

On some razors they just look good...

Nice finds there for sure


(off to work... hope I survive...)

Not all that different to me, as to the actual shaving with them that is.
I have more than a few of each, and both can be beautiful pieces.
Grind, edge-capability and size are more important factors to me.
