Vedepasco Razor and Thumbnail Test
As a fairly new straight user, I'm still not quite sure what a decent edge should feel like. It's my undertanding that the blade should display some resistance when dragged across a wet thumbnail. I recently found a Vedepasco razor in an antique shop that seemed to pass the test. It dragged with some resistance and also a bit unevenly. The unevenness concerns me a little though there was no perceptible nicks or burrs. Does this sound like a thorough stropping is all that's needed or something more aggressive? And has anyone ever heard of Vedepasco? It was stamped "Solingen."
