    You have to thank Bart, Ben, Lee, and Tony for that. But, yes, they are. Almost always. That's why it was built.

    PS Whoever is in charge of the Wiki: Reinstall this extension. I just went through my contributions, and the score is broken. Sad!

    About 50 on linen and 50 on leather before the shave and 25/25 after the shave on most carbon steel razors. Toss in another 25 each for the stainless steel ones.
