Well Mike. Ornately stated. My perspective is why sweat the small stuff. You are doing which is usually more than critics do. I recall movies which critics call a catastrophic failure but ticket...

Now that is an interesting W&B. Haven't noted one like that before, but then I don't see many W&B's.

Wish I understood this, but it. for me, is not relevant to understand it. I believe you believe you have created something and I believe you are right. Since I am illiterate regarding the...

O.K. Guess I wasn't as confused as I thought. Thanks for the response and clearing my foggy, foggy mind.

I notice that W&B garners a huge following and attention. I have a W&B blade. Have had it for years, the blade because the scales were a shambles and not restorable. Yet have I to get scales put...

Is this a true portrait of the blade or is it a30 or 60 degree angle taken? The angle of the photo will influence the shape, so I cannot distinguish whether it is a portrait shot or otherwise.

O.K. Now you are confusing me. Martin simplified it and now I have to consider every slight deviation. On pointy end could wind up with a hundred different slight deviations and become different. ...

Thanks for that. Forty years of using a SR and I am learning something new. Ha. How about that. Learning is always possible, but retaining what we learn may not be as easy.

Well...it was fun for a few moments, but this level of computer stuff is super far outside my skill set. Ah-h-h. Well. Just wish I could understand this stuff, but this old dog ain't up to learnin...

I like this little notch on my razors because it lets me negotiate up into the nasal wing area to catch those few wandering hairs. Hm-m-m. Anyone else like this notch for a reason other than...

Its like a piece of glass. I have used it only once, but I haven't the skills to know that it makes a difference. I have some antique stones I bought that are the same, but the antique ones are...

Jimmyhad: I am getting very curious about the seriousness of the topic. I just bought 2 vintage straight ER's today at an antique dealer. One was $30 the other $15. Now when I started using a...

Your point is interesting Captain, as I interject a bit between the lines. The only razor's I own come from antique dealers. They deal with so many things and a lot of it is basically trash but the...

I know exactly how you feel. It happened to me once and because of that event I was hesitant to join into this group. I was beginning to feel like I had a mistake again, but hopefully the smoke has...

Gabriel. It is my understanding that I have notifications on and I don't understand this stuff. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding obviously on my part. I guess it will take me awhile to...

Thanks. How do I shut it off?

How many apologies do you want from me. Where are you getting this stuff?

At the bottom of the thred all the little acronyms that declare on/ of. I attempted to edit post but gibberish appeared to me. As I said I am not technical. Sorry to seem so stupid, but in this...

Utopian. Understanding all the little acronyms and how they are used. Even on this thread the reply with a quote, When I get there I don't see how to use it. Reply is about all I understand. ...

Utopian. Thank you for that bit of information. I am 71 and just recently joined because I have a few Straight Razors I have bought from antique dealers. I get the impression from the sight that I...

Gabriel. I can't find where I said anything, but be assured I am not attempting to blacken anyone. It is not my attempt nor is it my intent and I am not a troll. If I said something that touched...

Thank you for the information, however, I am certain the price will be far out of my range. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I get my straight razors from antique dealers and have never paid more than...

P.S. Have you ever used lapping film. I have. BestSharpeningStones.com carries 3M Lapping paper, I just bought 5 additional sheets, 1200, 8000 and 15,000 grade. I have used them on my blades to...

It may simply the stones I have. Instructions say to put them in water and let them soak up all the water they can before you use them. I have five grits, one is a fat 50,000 grit. That's the best...

Agreed. Many sites I have visited the blades are 300 plus. Noted some at over a $1000. What puzzles me is who would pay a grand for a straight razor (people with money they don't know what to do...
