At first I thought the wiki was a necessity... and then I had an epiphany re: your above statement.
Also: when straights were in their heyday, ONLY BARBERS were allowed to use razors with the above mentioned notch.
If you look in the old catalogs, it stipulates that "razors with this configuration are only salable to professionals who have passed all necessary licensure etc etc."
It was a way for the customer to determine if the guy shaving them was, in fact, a licensed professional.
So there you have it!
Of course, I am lying.
