Razors, Port and Starboard
I'm thinking we could refer to razors as Port and Starboard. The top razor
being the Starboard side and the bottom Port side. you Navy guys should
see the logic behind this. Roy would you care to chime in?

How does the tail become the bow and the nose the stern?

Port and left both have four letters in them. That's how I learned.

The starboard side usually has the makers stamp on the tang and may have an etching on the blade face. It is referred to as the show side. Go Navy!
