What do you guys find easier to sharpen, Woodsmans or 2- Blade heads?

I can't sharpen a two blade to save my life, i want to try one of sharpster's jigs, but don't have the money.
I CAN sharpen a woodsman really well, with very little trouble.

Woodsman's have a built in guide when you lay 2 blades down on the file or stone or ceramic rod.  So I would say they are easier if you don't have a guide system and haven't mastered holding an angle free hand.   That said a head like STOS has great factory grinds and is easy to touch up and hunt with for a 2 blade.   Grizzly's and others with poor factory grinds are more of a challenge.

I can get 2 blades much sharper than I've ever gotten Woodsmans.  The key is getting the bevel grind correct.

I would say Woodsmans for the same reason Chad said, you can just lay them flat.

Woodsman easiest to sharpen, 2 blade sharpest (but not enough to keep me from using 3 blades).

Both are pretty easy with a good file.I however use paper and felt wheels on a grinder motor for my two blades when at home.It takes me seconds instead of minuites to get one ready for the quivers.The high polished edges look great but the speed is what I like.In the feild or camp the file will give me a edge that works just as well but then I only have to do one or two insyead of a half dozen or more at a time.

Both.  I'm really bad at sharpening anything.

2 blade with the kme knife sharpener! It is a little expensive, but it is worth it. Plus...you will have extremely sharp knives as well.

I have a few WW that I can't sharpen for anything!  Most I can get shaving pretty easily, but not all of them.  What gives?
