H is for Hanging Hair Test: Some consider it a way to determine if a razor is sharp, others see it as a parlor trick. Requires a razor to cut a single hair with minimal force.

I know I already posted this time around, but the thread is dying.

The Imperial Razor Company, Germany formed in 1945 right after WWII
Many of their razors are known for beautiful engraved etching on the blades....

J is for Jimps. These are grooves on the top and/or bottom of the tang that are designed to help a shaver maintain his grip on the razor.

Was that one too hard, or is there just no interest in this thread. Maybe I should just let it die...

Kay is for Kays who make curling stones out of the same stone as used in Tam O Shanter hones!!
