But, the vibratory edges!

Ummmmmm...No! Attachment 300132
Let's not go there! :eek:
I just can't get a clear pic of the tip with my phone. Sorry, Bob. But it has been worn down on the tip. It's like the special bevel getting thinner towards the tip.
I had no idea there was a huge distinction between the "Hamburg" grind and the English grind.. I had a Hamburg Ring, but don't remember it being bellied.
The Germans developed better equipment/methods at some point and there were companies sending blades to Germany to be ground, iirc.
But the "vibratory" issue seems to be "splitting hairs" I would say! But maybe so many of us "think" we like extra hollows, but in truth we are really just getting inferior shaves!
I may have to attach a sonicare toothbrush to my razor to test this theory...
Wish me luck!
Edit: But honestly, I have experienced a little more "bite" from extra hollows..
The way I understand the relationship
George Korn was the Master Grinder for Case
Case had a few related companies Cattauragus, Kinfolks, and Korn were just a few of them
I'm curious what you guys think about that vibration.
From what it seems the patent is saying is that there is a vibration, that causes less than perfect results.
What do you think of this?
Comparing all the grinds, singing and silent...
I think it was all about marketing: he needed to present his own design as superior. I personally do like extra hollows very much - singing and all. Actually I prefer them to the bellied grinds. Of course it's only my personal preference, and I can see different advantages in both of them.
