Sorry for the late response, haven't checked this thread in a bit! What you mentioned in the first long paragraph could work just fine too. You can easily just measure the width of the spine and...

The first equation is correct, but there is a small flaw in the second equation. You are correct in saying the width of the spine changes giving you the extra term to be added to B, but it shouldn't...

I have a math degree, so what entertains me might be different than most people. :rofl2:



It would be AWESOME if you could use calculus in calculating the angles. Would the resulting answer...

Well the formulas (either mine or Ben's) work for only a section of the blade. So you could measure the thickness of the spine and the distance from the spine to the edge at different points along...

I like it! But your new y would have to be measured again if you added tape, since it would be larger if you added tape. But it makes complete sense to me. :tu

Ah, I like it. Thanks. I didn't measure the width of the blade directly, but used a diagonal measurement from the bevel to the edge of the spine. I figured this would be easier to measure...

So I was bored last night, so I came up with some formulas for the bevel angle given the thickness of the spine, of the width of the razor, and of the thickness of the tape if it is used.

The...
