    Default Thumb notch

    I saw a new razor with a thumb notch. It sort of looks nice, but I have never seen this before. Does anybody have such a razor?

    Thumb notches are aces to shave with and Jokers to strop.

    I suspect that some of them were added by the same guys that did the regrinding of old Sheffield blades. I agree with WW243, they're great the shave with and awkward to strop.
