Thread: How Bevel is Affected by Taping

Brad,

How you measured A has me baffled! If you measured directly between the point where the bevel meets the flat surface and the edge of the blade, then you didn't measure A, you measured the hypotenuse as Jimbo noted. (although the angle is so small, the results should be very close either way - where's my calculator?) If you indeed measured A, then where on the razor did you actually place the plastic scale? I may be wrong (to borrow a qualifier from Jimbo) but I don't think there is anywhere on the razor you can place a plastic scale to get an accurate reading for A. Is A really as it appears in the diagram, or are the vertical lines denoting A not supposed to be directly vertical?

Thank you for your upcoming correction!

A as hypotenuse ...... A as adjacent
