    Apparently one of their costumers has dressed them up as a medical supply company this week. No wonder they want more costumers. :rotflmao

    They could actually turn out to be good shavers. I believe that
    the Wapi's were originally used for the same purpose.

    Surgical razors typically have one hollow ground side and one flat ground side.

    I have had several of those razors you mentioned & was told that they were hand sectioning razors for microscope samples. I have even seen a long blade with no handle flat on one side & hollow ground on the other, boxed made by some Sheffield razor manufacturer. For use on sectioning machines (use stated on the box)

    Microscope samples can be prepared with a microtome, which has a blade much like a large straight razor. It may be hollow ground or flat ground or half and half. Sectioning razors used to be common in biology labs but I've not seen one for a while. They a designed to be used by a right-handed person cutting away from themselves (with the flat ground side down); whereas surgical razors are designed to be used by a right-handed person shaving a patient and drawing the razor towards themselves (with the flat side down), and so they are not the same.
    That is my understanding, anyway.

    Wow. I'm sure it was as hard for everyone else to read that description as it was for me!
