bevel width
Hi,
What widths of cutting edge would be proper for full wedge, 1/4 hollow, 1/2 hollow, full hollow razors? Let's say blade widths are a, b, c, d. I believe it's non-linearly proportional to blade width but cannot formulate it so maybe I'm wrong.
Edit 1:
I'm assuming blade thickness varies with width so as to keep the bevel angle constant.
Let me put a crude classification here:
Hollowness:
full wedge:A
1/4 hollow:B
1/2 hollow:C
full hollow: D
blade width:
15 mm(or 5/8) = a
18 mm (or 6/8)= b
20 mm (or 7/8) =c
25 mm (8/8) = d
So what edge width should a "A-b" razor have? What about others?
Edit 2:
This makes 4x4=16 razors. Pick any combination you are familiar with and tell which bevel width you prefer, that will also help.
Thanks.Last edited by ferroburak; 03-25-2011 at 02:24 PM.
