Thread: Theoretically, is this the best looking razor?

The golden ratio is ~1.6



140/ 84 = 1.6
84/ 56 = 1.5

160/ 100 = 1.6
100/ 60 = 1.6
^This applies for the shank + blade, and also for the grind (A very full hollow, or frameback)

Essentially, a 5/8 razor with 3 and 2/8 blade length. Which seem pretty common.

So if you were to continue using the golden mean, where about would the pivot be placed?

Interesting. I can see the golden rule doesnt apply to razors.

Mmmmm. Interesting. Suppose it's obvious when you think about it.

No,,,,,,,,,,,, 2+2=4 and 1/8 of a pie, is a slice.

IIRC that would put the pivot hole at 1.6b -b

Now I'm going to have to go measure one. Dang you for making me think!

Now since my math brain is now on holidays as of an hour ago for the next 4 weeks, can someone tells me the golden rule for my preferred 13/16 & 7/8 blades with the same length blade or does measuring the circumference of the smiling blade make up for said golden rule lateral length???
Or would that make the blade look freaky, like those super curved Japanese blades I can't remember the name off either LOL

You do realize your razor is 140 mm in length and 160 mm in height according to the measurements on your drawing, though I am fairly sure you just added an extra 0 to your height measurements.

It is a tinny decimal point but only on the verts like a "site check - ref" dimension on a site drawing
LOL

Tiny decimal points make a big difference, imagine a building with ceiling heights of 24 cm

It shaves a bit like this
