question on straight razor styles
So since getting into the vintage straight market i have noticed lots of differences in straights and have been able to get answers for all of them but one. I thought asking here would hopefully get me a good answer to resolve my question so here it goes. Since going to multiple antique stores and looking at vintage straights i have noticed that some razors have a very short blade from spine to the cutting edge. Is this normal? The blades usually appear in very good shape and to have been made this way but i cant find any answers online? I know this can sometimes happen due to excessive honing but i can tell when its due to that and when it appears to have been produced this way, is this just a normal different style blade/ production method? I have avoided buying some very nice looking razors due to this difference so any help is appreciated, all my other razors are a normal looking blade size and style.-john
