Interesting stuff. I really wondered about double bevels and razors when I first found SRP; I was left going like this when I know somewhere, pre-crash someone had said double bevel and a straight razor = bad.

Woodworkers have been using double bevels on chisels and plane irons for who knows how long to produce wood shavings so thin you can read through them, so I thought Why wouldn't/shouldn't a double bevel work on a straight razor????

I'm glad to see there's is talk about this and I'd like it if someone for whatever reason has a negative opinion on double bevels and razors to share their views. I myself have NOT tried a double bevel yet, but I will.

Thanks for the info, Tim.
