    That is a really cool straight razor desisgn. I wonder why none of the other makers made them like that? It would be a little hard to get the angle right you know with the lack of spine and all

    How would you even hold this to shave? I am curious about the idea of a micotome grind on something that long.

    You wouldn't - because it is not a razor. It is about as useful as a pork pie in a mosque.

    Monstrosity like this 6 blade razor? Or is this post referring to straights only?

    I must admit, I don't mind using a cartridge occasionally when I'm travelling, but I can't understand how the 6th blade will help if the first 5 haven't shaved the hair.
    It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice

    Diamond coated ice blades....fascinating, and the blades are made by Solingen....can't believe the RAD is so powerful I was tempted for a second...it say's Solingen afterall, and Diamond Ice? It has to be good doesn't it?

    The 6th blade would rip the hair out. One fellow told me the alloy used in those things has aluminum in the sercet forum thats why you need more blades cause it uses the idea of ripping the hairs out. don't know if that true but it common for people who use them heavy to get ingrown hairs.

    They did have the decency to refer to it, at least in part, as a folding pocket knife.
