Wow that was a walk down memory lane... pot holes and all. Haha . It amazes me how many years I would get to do the most fun and challenging job in the world. Most (if not all) my coustemers are...

You know I always believed if you build a better mouse trap the world will beat a path to your door. But it seems some believe, if someone tries to build a better mouse trap they should be burned at...

I nerver said so many makers before were wrong. I said these were different and I gave my reasons. I'm answering those who said I was wrong to ever build one that way.

the bottom picture is the same damaged razor made ready for use after stropping not honing. you really should actually read the article.

Well at least I'll have you to fall back on IF there is ever a complaint...... none yet.



I'm not the only one who holds this "incorrect representation" here's a few others.

Actually I did read the 1879 article. The 1931 article said the 1879 article was wrong and its conclusions no better than myth. It actually refers to the conclusions of the 1879 article.

Here’s part 1 (there will be more) of my response.

This is an article from Popular Science Oct 1931 I’ve included photos of the original article at the end of the text. All photos referenced in...

I'm sure it did. That's what make great razors great. Maybe this issue will be settled in another century or two. I at least got to state my side of the issue, agree or not, that's a good thing.

Earnest critisim is something I can deal with, and honestly it's quite refreshing. I do respect the traditional blades they are truly inspirational. And I think the scales are improving with every...

The razors come already beveled and shave ready I would not expect anyone to have to set a bevel on a new blade. As far as the eventual dulling issue that is another advantage to carbon-chromium...

I think you missed this line. "Depending on the blade design some of these razors have heavier blades, as much as .007 not the .002 to .004 of vintage high carbon steel blade." or maybe it was this...
