Ok guys...thought I would send this one out to the newbies out there regarding straight razor edge profiles. If you're like me and you like to pick out razors from the antique stores, make sure to check the edge profile. The first and third profiles are considered desirable. The middle, frowning profile, is considered undesirable and you may want to seriously consider skipping on the purchase of that razor.....happy hunting.:)

Red this would be great in the Wiki if you know how to put it in there :)
And I know it might be a bit of work but this is done very well... Can you do one with the Toe worn away???
:D

Well it is only called a toe, if it is on a Irish Point razor or was that a French Point???
Oh heck it all balances out in the end right?????
Hello, Red:
Thanks for posting those illustrations. Most useful, yes. Well done, sir.
Regards,

It is a long standing joke about certain words....
Once again Thank You Red ....
Gee, I wonder if you get one with enough of a frown, if you can shave both sides of your neck at the same time.
Somebody let me know on this one as I ain't gonna try it myself......:)
Great illustrations.
Have fun,
Lynn
