Thread: A DE Razor Pondering...

I am just looking through at some DE's as I am thinking of getting one for my travels coming up. I have been pondering this for a while since I remember seeing my grandfather's sitting in the soap dish at his place. Here it is:

Why do some DE Razors have metal teeth? I always thought it would be for thinning out a beard if you didn't want to shave it bare, though I don't know if the blade even goes under the teeth part of the razor.

If someone could answer this it would be nice to know. Also, it will relax me and keep me busy today on a Friday while I wait for the work day to be over (and I can get to the cottage with my friends tonight )

Also, I have seen some info on the evolution of the DE Blade, pretty cool.
