Thread: wider at th toe

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

Being 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.

Y'all still floatin' down there in the capitol?

DFW is still getting hammered.

ah , i thought about that but the wider toe caused to much drag I couldn't get a clean slice
we have our own airport in Austin we don't need to use that DFW river do float in and out of town
we'z got smarts we took our shit kickers off and started tredin that thar h2o
Huson not Dallas got it, and water is going down

I'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.

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
nice razors, ,thought they loock a little abused, better send them my way

Give those back. At least one of those belongs to me. Manifest Destiny!

Many 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

I ain't near as old as those blades and I look a damn sight worse for the wear.

Been busy. Stuff is C-R-A-Z-Y at work with all the flooding and damage from the water to the roadways. The idiots with their cell phones haven't managed to kill me yet. Just hoping the monsoon season will come to an end for a bit. My 'maters are dying from too much water. Managed to get the yard baled this evening before the latest flood maker blew in. Got a couple more inches of rain in the last hour or so. I'm on a pretty good hill so if the water gets high enough to flood me, there'll be a LOT of folks under water ahead of me.
