Thread: Sharpest a feather DE blade or a Straight

Okay, to reduce some ambiguity, when I say sharp I mean for use in shaving. I know there will be bias but that's alright. It's a friendly argument between my brother and I until one of us loses then it going to get messy. Oh and it doesn't matter which carries the edge longest, thats not in question.

regards,

gerard

most of the time, the feather

I think Feathers are just plain sharper, since that's the question. Straights may cut better for other reasons, but I don't think them being sharper is one of those reasons.

The feather edge is going to be sharper and harsher, it will not give a better shave though.

Thanks gentlemen, time to go knuckle up big brother!

As Dale Carnegie says, there is no winner in an argument.
