My books, Straight Razor Collecting by Robert A. Doyle & my 3 editions of Standard Guide To Razors by Roy Ritchie & Ron Stewart show the same thing on how to date them as well according to the tang & so on. I think my Razor Anthology has it too. the dating is according to the tang on the blade & straightness or curvature of the scales.
There's also more..............
I do like your book though!
Starting to sound like a commercial offer on RONCO KNIVES[emoji23]
Mr. Robert Hardie was from, no lie, Shepherd's Bush. Fastest blade in Britain, but one day someone faster came along, it always happens. His name was Spiny Norman and he is on record as shaving 30 men in 30 seconds. The speed at which he shaved the grizzly volunteers was said to cause some onlookers to projectile vomit.
And here I thought Spiny Norman was a giant hedgehog that followed Dinsdale Piranha around.

It never fails Wullie, you always have me....................:roflmao!
It could be a simple notch making it easier for opening the blade nothing more or nothing less.
I think while we are on this thread, we should ask ourselves why we (US) put the fins on the 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville?

Thanks. Hey happy father's day.
While chasing a Galaxie 500
Just a thought for you all
Have you ever noticed that we never discuss the "Reason" for any of the other point designs :shrug:
Perhaps it has no more meaning then the rest :p
And if you simply go back though the pics on this thread let alone the rest of the forum you will find a type/design of "Hollow Point" that disproves every "Theory"
And the answer is?
Cause im not sure either.
What i do see is 3 different blade designs, slightly different by designer.
1 square points
2 round points
3 hollow points
Wasn't the Barber's notched designed to shave nose hairs? They have that in common with the spike points? :rofl2:
One must wonder how large men's noses were when a 9/8 has a "barber's notch" if it was meant to shave nose hair.

My theory is that is that it all had to do with naval architecture and the design of ships bows.
Carry on.
Why is it one or another?
Has anyone ever thought that certain features may have more than one use?
This thread is a lot like marriage we all say I do but we never commit

For looks of course! As I mentioned before, I'd love to live in Arizona again for one of many reasons, you see old vehicles there roaming the streets since nothing rusts there because it is so dry. I recognized the license plate.
I've also heard it being called a Dreadnaught Tip.
Who knows? Strange tips abound! http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...l-rodgers.html
