Not 'Gladde Jongens' I hope?
Because I got that book as a birthday present from my sister.
Virtually on every page, the author makes claims that I disagree with.

Things like
- antique razors are for looking at only, and you should not shave with them
- a nick > 0.5 mm means you have to throw away a razor
- 8/8 razors are very flexible (never heard of half hollow, quarter hollow or wedge then?)
- 8/8 razors are extremely expensive.
- rust is the death of a razor.
- custom razors are extremely expensive.

and the list goes on and on.
I am working on a list of disagreements to mail to the author.
