Piece of Junk: What's it called?
Hi...
I purchased a very cheap (used) razor. The idea was to practice honing/sharpening and if possible, use it for shaving.
The blade had a regular spine but, as the metal tapered down toward the edge, it was much thinner than any razor I've ever seen. The last 1/4" was like sheet metal and the very last 1/8" was like foil. If you pressed your fingernail against the side of the edge, you could see the outline of your fingernail on the other side. The blade was quite old and was a 5/8" hollow ground. It was marked as "Jung Co. New York", "N. i Germany".
Other than "junk", what do you call this style of blade?
PS. I'm getting to the point that I can straight shave about as quickly as with a Bic. The Str8 is a lot more fun.
