Barbers notch Why?
I've been searching for an answer to this and haven't been able to find one. What is a barbers notch for? Does it even serve any prupose, or is it just decoration?

It is to open the razor easier.
I read it somewhere on here but can't remember where.

Thanked: 335 The barber's notch
The best explanation I've read is that the notch on the end of the blade was perfectly placed for the barber who was holding the razor in one hand, the other being busy doing other barber type stuff, now could open it by catching the notch on the breast pocket of his smock. Now open, the razor could be stropped and the shave could begin.
Or it could be there just for something different to look at.

It helps you pick your nose while shaving so your finger doesn't smear the lather on your upper lip up into your nose Originally Posted by Rhys

I added Bruce's comment to the wiki. Hope that's OK. I guess if it wasn't, I wouldn't have rights to edit.
