Thanked: 3222I am not saying that a skilled knife maker can not make a good razor, many do, it is just that if they initially approach the making of a SR with that attitude that it just a different shaped knife you could wind up with geometry issues for a start. I'd hate to pay good money for a custom razor only to find that the geometry is wonky.
Also have seen a lot of posts from newbies with experience sharpening knives take for granted that honing a SR will be a piece of cake because of that experience. Lots have come back asking why they can't get a comfortable shaving edge.
Razors and knives are similar but it is in the details that they are different. If that is not fully appreciated it leads to trouble.
