They must be talking about their non-limited editions. I've got several TI's that won't sing short of being strummed with a hammer.

Michael, I do think that in general you are right - you don't want much noise when doing this.

And as another member likes to say, I'll offer another data point:

I had a very thin-bladed 7/8 Satinedge from Joe CHandler that did it and it was the scariest sharpest razor I have handled. I think it's a grind / steel thing. I have many razors honed by me which do not produce much sound but they are definitely not as sharp as this SE was.

I wonder if it was the hair vibrating (internally they're basically little springs).

Michael,

I didn't try with that hair, even though I do remember a question about testing...

sorry, couldn't resist

Anyway - to answer your question: I don't know. but if it were / is - why doesn't it happen with all razors (we can even limit this to only all hollows)?

Cheers
Ivo
