SINGING RAZOR

**Grizzley1** · 02-25-2011, 05:13 AM

What exactly is a singing razor ? Ive looked on the wiki and still didn't get a good answer,I know its a very thin grind but do they make some type of noise when honing or stropping? Can someone answer this once and for all?

From what i have gathered its a thin ground razor that makes more noise when shavign and stropping. and if you take ur tip of ur finger and knda pluck the edge it will make a ringing noise. This is just what ive gather but hopfuly someone can help shed more light on them.

a full hollow ground razor

I believe that historically singing razors are called the extra hollow ground ones. Because of the grind they have a resonance at a higher frequency, I'd say around 1.5kHz.

Yea, they sing. Very extra hollow ground. Anytime you "pluck" it sideways it goes "tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing"

Doesn't happen often though. Hone/Strop/Shave--Nothing about plucking the razor sideways in any of that.

They do shave like a dream though.

Extra Hollow Ground as mentioned above. They make a heck of a racket while shaving, especially if you don't have any water running. My wife started searching the house for a "weird sound" when I honed one up for a gentleman. They do shave wonderfully.
