    It was simply a comment about (WRT) the lovely curved lines of the smiling or swayback razor.

    Nothing more

    or less.

    Ahh, sorry!

    Was trying to read and do some work at the same time!

    The name "Straight Razor" puzzles me tho.

    No worries Lemur, multi-tasking by its nature, reduces engagement of some facilities.

    Well to me they're all razors now, straight or smiling. That other stuff is simply shaving gizmos.

    Speaking of naming conventions, as they were "razors" at one point, I have noticed the Brits tend to call them "Cut-Throat Razors" more than us Yanks.

    Good thing we keep their language up to date.
