Why on Earth were Square Tips Produced - it beats me?
Hi Guys,
A collector sent me five very fine razors for restoration and honing recently and amongst them were a nice Dubl Duck SatinEdge and a Vesuvius with Grim Reaper Scales that I have also seen on a Dubl Duck razor. Maybe the same maker for both razors?
Anyway, both have very severe square tips. I thought before shave-testing, that these were accidents waiting to happen and although I was very cautious, I still managed to gouge myself twice. These things would be absolutely lethal for a beginner and to be honest, it they were mine and for shaving rather than collection purposes, I'd slightly grind the tip edge rounder.
Sacrilegious to many I'm sure but I just cannot see the point (sorry for the pun) of these severe square tips.
Thoughts?Last edited by onotoman; 11-15-2017 at 08:34 PM.
