    Default Magnetic

    I have a Griffon cutlery Magnetic.

    I don't grow whiskers made of steel as far as I know so wonder why magnetic razors where made and what if any are the advantages.

    I once saw someone say that it was claimed to draw blood (iron) to the surface and something or another benefit from it. But, the consensus in that thread seemed to believe marketing BS was the reason.
    If you're wondering I'm probably being sarcastic.

    Funny you brought this up. I just finished honing a J. Voos D.Sohn. assuming its before Dorp got involved, and became Dovo. It says " Magnetic" on the blade face.

    I believe I read somewhere, that the magnatizing of the steel compacted the molecules, tighter together. Making it a better steel, so to say.

    Back in the day there were no consumer laws of any kind so a manufacturer or retailer could make all kinds of wild claims about his product hoping some sucker would believe it and buy it.
