Is a "singing" razor more functional than a typical hollow ground?
I have been looking into purchasing a "singing" straight razor lately,
and I am curious to know if the functionality of these razors is really
any different than a more common "non-singing" hollow ground razor.
I understand that these razors are thinner, so are prone to being more
delicate, but I have not found any conclusive data on whether they
are better shavers, easier to strop or hone, or... Well, it has been hard
for me to glean any real information about them other than the fact
that they "sing" when plucked (which I certainly would never do, so,
this quality is not so important to me). So far, I have found only highly
dubious passages such as "the blade seems more refined" in my
research, and would like some information that is a little more conclusive.
If any of you fine gentlemen could supply me with any further information
on the difference in functionality between a typical hollow ground and
a singing hollow ground, or offer any links as to the subject, I would
certainly be much obliged!
Thank you for your time.
