Now I know what I have been doing wrong!:)
Reminds me of what my Grandfather told me when I was 10 years old .... "Believe half of what you see, and nothing that your read." :rofl2:
That's why I always store my razors in a North/South fashion. That way the grain is less adversely effected by the magnetic pull of the Earths poles. I am also very cautious to assure that they always, when not in use, are on their backs, spline up such that the gravity will allow the grain of the metal to "relax" so to speak, and not be pulled down toward the main body of the blade, or, even worse, to the side
i kept trying to tell myself it wasnt RAD and that i keep buying razors while my other ones sit to repair them self !!! now i have proof if anyone ask !!
Thats interesting, so let me see if I get it right, you store your razors spine up, like in a 7 day set box, in a north-south fashion?? Im not shure if that would make a difference but as we are talking about the finest grade of steel then it has some sense. I will start doing it
The degree of incredulity toward this old article is surprising.
