Yeah! I read a thread on that a while ago. It's amazing and weird. I think this is the one http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...-grinding.html

Yep.. That's the one.

Yes, just something that I never got into. Seems like a lot of hassle.

Another very good quality American made razor is a H.M. Christensen. I had and sold a 5/8 square point and 5/8 round point but not until I had acquired a 6/8 square point as I like the larger blades. Had no complaints about the two I sold, both very fine shavers.

I am in the UK and am attempting to try American steel, but the customs office is currently holding onto my Nate's Straight!

You are supposed to tape the spine.

He meant the fat edge, not the thin edge

And when you move 01 tool steel from a taped bevel to a non-taped bevel, magical edges occur.

It's also very difficult to cut yourself with a taped edge...

Women go to the extreme and tape their legs, when you remove the tape no need for an edge at all! Now that is magic, I won't be trying that on my face though... Or anywhere else for that matter.

You tape the bevel?

It's a running joke from a mistype in the OP.
