Thread: My razor is too sharp???? I like a duller edge??

I kind of wish we had a scanning electron microscope at our disposal and an SRP research facility to end our speculations. Obviously the Verhoeven paper does not address the perceived comfort of an edge which I care about as much if not more so than "sharpness" or "keenness".

Honestly I love speculating about this stuff and theorizing as much as the next guy, but it can also get frustrating for me; like chasing your own tail.

I love the fact that the Verhoeven paper is there for us. I'm bummed that it leaves off where we need it or something like it to pick up. Perceived comfort based on various edges, abrasives used and subjective opinions in actual shaving. That's why I think for our specific purposes, the Verhoeven paper is only partially conclusive to what interests us.
