I'm sorry to be rudely coming back to this a bit late. I got hit with a deadline...I am truly impressed with what you guys have got going on here-not just the wealth of knowledge but the eagerness to help.

That was a frustrating start but this thread pretty much sealed the question for me. Nice one. I'm very happy to have joined this forum, and Euclid thanks so much for reaching out. I will pm you. BTW, I'm sure i could do worse on blade science than with someone who is a mentor on a shaving forum AND takes his username after the one of the greatest geometricians of all time
