    That Isaac Newton razor sounds suspiciously like my Gottfried von Leibniz razor (quite ironically, made in Sheffield). I bet the differences are quite infinitesimal and, in the limit, the two would be difficult to differentiate.

    I found my razor integrated nicely into my shaving routine. I am sure yours will too.

    +1 yes asymptoticly approaching the correct honing angle.
    in both cases but from opposite sides of the H-A-D slope. But
    that is tangential to the real part of the solution which
    always gets me in a lather.

    The differences are indeed incalculable, however both provide similar results.

    The Sir Isaac Newton razor was made by C. Friedrich Ern of Solingern-Weyer. They were at 196 Weyerstrasse in 1939. They used quite a few trade names, including Kobold and Sprock.
