    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.
