But, the vibratory edges!

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..Last edited by MikeT; 12-27-2018 at 01:11 PM.

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"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

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?

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.
