    I woke up thinking about this post. I guess because I like math that doesn't involve numbers.
    As far as one side of the razor being 'sharper' than the other, with the two sides of the face supporting this idea: in a normal two pass shave each side of the face receives both sides of the razor. Edge down first pass N-S, edge up, second pass S-N.
    Additionally, I believe where the bevel meets is where sharp lives, at the tippy top of the triangle. To visualize this, think of the tippy top of the triangle created by the bevel. I don't think there is a 'side' to sharp, but I could easily be wrong. Any discussion that I have read on the Forum about bevels usually have to do with size or unevenness and never bring sharp into the equation (my razor shaves good but the bevel is ugly). To sum up, the two planes of the bevel do not have their own edge.
    Bonus Input: If your spine is funny, your bevel will be funny. The way to correct funny is honing while riding a Tilt-A-Whirl.
