I guess Josh has found other fish to fry or is extremely busy. Too busy to post on the forum. I have a couple of his hand forged razors and I'm glad that I do. They are real nice shavers. I miss his posts, they were always thoughtful and informative.
I miss his contributions as well. All I ever had from Josh was the most preliminary blush of information about some of the razors tested. I don't know if any conclusions resulted. One of the pieces I can safely state I remember the best, was that despite the diversity of makers, spread over several important razor-making regions, the steel was remarkably consistent, nearly homogenous. But, as with all sorts of research, threats to validity, in this case, a small sample size may mean a wrong conclusion.
