Haha, I guess we could seek definition of play. [emoji14]

Ohtay, Jacob! Speaking of playing, don't get this wrong! You seem to be a nice fella. A razor-maker joined up today! Welcome!
I looked at your site, as was expected to. You seem to take great pride in your work and know what you are doing, I suppose. .
If you are having success, good. However, since you happened to come in on a thread begun by a Moderator about a particular subject, you seem to be a godsend for yourself, and us!
I know you have not asked for it, So this is only an idea. Whatsay we talk of your work and see if you could take some constructive criticism?
I see some things others may?
Yup. I would second that.
Say something. Worst case scenario he takes it personal. That isn't your fault, just means that person needs to learn to take constructive criticism. Best case scenario - you save them from becoming the next poster in our cut of the day thread because they're trying to shave with a Sweeney Todd razor. When it comes to a razor sharp object that's being used on someone's face you do them more disservice by turning a blind eye to a razor's imperfections than you do by pointing them out. I'd take hurt feelings over another scar on my face any day, I'm ugly enough as it is. YMMV :w
Allright, Jacob! Here is one of your standard razors. I cannot for the life of me understand how some can make a nice spine, yet not a smile to match. Most 'custom' razors I see seem to be frowning with a wider bevel in the middle. What?
Whassup with that? I mean, JEEZE! I can smile anything! :D

As to art, I am NOT disposed to shaving with this one, Jacob! :dropjaw:

That extreme smiling blade was quite an adventure to say the least haha. I shave with one of these once a week or so. Albeit, I'm not usually fully clean shaven, well, until I did this movember mustache, which is getting cut all the way off tomorrow.
Can you clarify a little more on the standard razor please?
I was just speaking of the razors you have done. A straight edge is the sign of a beginner, or one who refuses to 'grow'
Adventure with edges is more important than fancy spines, I think. Solid old vintage razors are your best references, I think.
Ohhh! I understand now. Thank you. I've got this one, can you check it out? It's O1, he wanted a slight smile, smooth clean lines.

Mention that the finished product was a valiant effort, although not in your personal taste.
