These tell more about razor points and types so I figured I would post em up here. If there a little crooked or blury im sorry hope you can still read it.

Sorry about the last one but it fiished there so I just left it. I thought the one showing the diff grinds was cool.

They are all cool!
Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to scan stuff that I can read/see
Hahahahaha
Gotta love the old books.
Thank You

Your welcome ...I enjoyed reading it so I figured some of you guys might too. Im strugling a bit because my keyboard dont work and with the size of my files I thought I had it fixed but It is not. I have about 5 pages on honing but im trying to get a thumbnail or clickable link on em.

I was going to start a new thread on this, but then saw this one and the diagram fits in perfectly.

The above razor terminology is what I have always known the razor parts by. I've often read, on SRP postings, the term "toe" refering to the razor "point." Is "toe" the European, or non-US, designation? Or did someone on SRP just make it up?

Also, the use of "spine" (a knife part) instead of "back" (the analogous part of a straight razor).

Not meaning to start any terminology wars, I've just wondered about it for awhile.

Every time I think about the heel and toe (point) I get that song in my head: "Heel and Toe, Heel and Toe, slide, slide, slide, slide, ....." I think it's the Heel and Toe Polka, but might be wrong.

Terminology-wise, what always got me was the use of "Tang" to describe both the shank and Monkey Tail. Personally, I think that if we can deal with the difference between bevel creation and honing, we can cope with standardised razor part terminology.

What about that part in reference to an electric shaver? For "patrons who request this service"?

The manual should clearly state that any patron that requests a shave with an electric should be promptly shown the door!

Yeah that E-Razor part starts into another section in the book there talking about use for neck lines not beards. There are diagrams for that part on he next page. This page was shown because the part on razor steel and temper. Sorry if the last one causes any confusion.

I liked term diagram part too!
