    Default Razor Reasoning, West Gippsland Gazette Australia 1915.

    It is good that Aussies are recognised for their intelligence!

    So if we have about 60 razors in rotation we would never have to sharpen or strop again, so this justifies RAD

    Being an honorary Aussie, I can confirm in the positive, Digger! We still strop often and resoundingly

    Ah, the secret regarding dragging has been revealed.

    Quote from above:-

    "Before use, the blade should be stropped and dipped for a moment into hot water. This improves the cutting edge so that a softer shave results, and there is no "dragging""

    So guys, put away all those fancy hones and listen to us Aussies. The well kept secret has been exposed!
