Thread: How sharp can it get?

Once you feel a "velvet squeegee" SR edge, you'll never ask this question again.*

SHARP is only 1/2 the battle.

COMFORTABLE is the other. This is where the unlimited technique allowed by the SR lets the user perfect his shave (and the honemeister perfect the edge).

I especially enjoy picking off whiskers one or two at a time when trimming edges. Or _using_ the notch. Can't even attempt that with a DE.

Also methinks the "pure" steel, highly-polished edge of the SR is always going to feel better than the coated edge of the mass-produced blade.

WHY were so many different stropping machines/razors produced BITD? Methinks one reason is that shavers were used to stropping, but that the second BIG reason is that they were also used to a STROPPED edge and production edges will never be as good as what can be polished out by hand.

*I remember my first buttery SR shave like it was yesterday, wait it was last month...but you and all your money can't buy that blade from me.
