I was making the point that most edge tools were always traditionally ground towards convexity, which may or may not have informed past peoples ideas about ideal edge bevel geometry on other, more specialized cutting tools, ie, razors.

Not following your logic on that at all

SR's have been hollow ground since the 1700's their bevels have always been honed and stroped toward a convex bevel and edge

Maybe I am just missing your point
