Thread: What's the deal with these Damascus blades??

Very interesting to see if it will make a good shave.
Will this Damascus go the same way as Gold Dollar
(the graveyard)or will it top it and become a accepted brand?

Wouldnt it be a good test to test it before you know
which country it came from?

In science to avoid personal thoughts,half of the test-persons
are given placebos.

If you know where the blade is coming from you will wiegh in
your personal thought,no matter if you want or not.

I mean,if you really dont like communists,its hard to accept
lets say a Gold Dollar,right?!Even if some people/vendors say its ok
your personal thoughts has already judged it!

So,to avoid all this,unless you are not blindfolded and someone else
shave you,do the test before you know the countrys name.

Looking forward to this!

Well, I don't know where the blade was made, where the steel came from, where it was forged, who forged it, but if you want to come blindfold me you can feel free.

No point to blindfold you when you dont
know anything about the razor,right?!

I know you can hone a razor so i´m pleased
that you do the test, and that you dont
know nada about the razor.

But hey,skip the blindfold,i guess it looks rather dangerous and silly

Anyway,its gonna be exciting but i guess it will not hold an edge.
Thats my personal thougt,though.

How are his personal thoughts relevant to whether or not the blade takes and holds an edge? That seems to me a simple, empirical quesiton.

Gldbird 1,your bang on it!

Yes,how can (his) personal thoughts be revelant to whether or not
the blade takes and holds an edge?

Yes,that seems to me a simple empirical question too.

It shouldn´t...but still it does.
