Teeth, or stirations have no business there...
Also, the comment from the barber's manual (I have that printed and laying on my work table for 5-6 months now) is likely the author trying to explain cutting on the basic level, not knowing how it actually goes. If you remember the "microscope" pictures (drawings infact) you will see a saw edge, with teeth, which don't exist on the real SEMicroscope images even at 2-3000x magnificationm on both DE blade and straight razor...
