For a couple of bucks and some, e.g. golden retriever hair, we could not only talk about our razors, our hones, our strops, our soaps, our creams, our bay rum, but also how our razor passed the STANDARD HHT with that standard strand just laying on the edge: no pull, no tug, just laying on the edge momentarily and then - snick - it's now two pieces with only the help of gravity.
I envison and new forum topic: Does the hair lie, or does it only lie there for a trice and then it's twain?
:y Oh, this is exciting :y
