Thread: A century of HHT

This has been a conversation topic of interest for quite a while !

Good stuff. Wonder what was in that strop dressing?

Interesting.

I think it's a well known thing. Useful too. Just wait until someone sees this who's against the HHT. I'm getting my popcorn ready.

I've gotta get me a Torrey strop !

OK, I'll bite...

Just re-read the first sentence of the ad.

Is that the HHT? I thought he was stitching a frilly edge onto the blade.

The real question is which level of the HHT are Torrey talking about? I mean, we all know if it is a HHT less than 3.65 a strop probably won't fix that. And what if you have a non-uniform HHT distribution along the edge? How does a strop handle that?

I think this is ad is factually incorrect in many ways, and deliberately misleading in others.

Nah, you only need the dressing.
Just send 15 cents to the company in Woostah and they'll fix ya right up! You don't even need a street address!

I love old ads like this, thanks for sharing!

The ad did say just cause it cut a hair doesn't make it shave right, got to use the strop. Tc
