I have both. I like the L6 which has a copy of the Merkur head, and I can't tell any difference between using either.
But my L5, which has a copy of the Gillette Tech head, just doesn't shave anywhere near as well as my Gillette Tech. I've tried several blades. Beats me why it should be so.

Which one do you like better?

I never tried the L5 but i used the Lord L6 for a month and it doesn't get me BBS, to me it's not aggressive enough. I get a better shave with my Schick 5 Hydro.
The L6 is the one I like, it being pretty much on par with the Merkur 33 that I own (which I think is the same as the Merkur 34 head, and the Merkur 33 to me is on par with the Jagger 89).
As I said, if the L5 was like the milder Gillette Tech I'd have been happy, but it's not.

They are quite different razors. Also with both models Lord changed blade exposure during the years. Older L5 has more exposure and might be quite biting. They reduced it in the recent years, but it is still more than a Tech. With the L6 it is the other way around. The earlier batches had zero exposure and the newer ones have positive exposure.
The difference is only the brand and amount of blades they pack with it. If you do like aggressive/efficient shaves get the L5 bundle with their plastic OC plate (RBC has them).I'm thinking about getting a Lord 6 and I've found a couple, but I don't know what's the difference. Are both of these Lord 6 and if so, what's the difference aside from the package and the blade pack?
