wider at th toe
I am noticing some straights where/are made wider at the toe than heel, what is the reason for that?

Thanked: 884Being front heavy made them swing faster.
You see that more in older razors. Don't know if it was "just the way we always made 'em" thinking or what.

Thanked: 884I've got a few older blades that are fat at the front and some that are fat in the middle.
They shave well for me. They don't get around your face like a 5/8 but I enjoy using them.
Glad to hear the water's going down. We just got another inch or three dumped on us tonight. The twisters stayed west of us. This go around.Last edited by Wullie; 05-27-2015 at 04:13 AM.

you realy can't shave that well with anything higher than a 6/8 , and 4/8 seems like they were party favors in the 1800's

Thanked: 13249Many people feel that the Smiles, Curves, Slants help to achieve a true "Scything" cut when shaving..
Don't know how true that all is but it sure helps me under the jawline
