“But sharp is not uncomfortable. A polished edge is a comfortable edge.”
I’m not sure about that…
A properly honed hollow ground razor, finished on 0.3um film and hundred laps on .50 &.125 CBN, will give you a laser straight, super polished and uncomfortable edge.
It is definitely, polished and straight edge…comfortable? No.

And then… there’s longevity.
Hand full of shaves vs…
And that is where a lot of new guy don’t get it.
It’s not about ultimate sharp. It’s about sharp enough to get you from A to B, with comfort and no weapers.JeffR likes this.

That's a fact, John! Shavettes are too 'sharp' for me, out of the box. Don't last long either. Originally Posted by Hirlau

Why would I want to replicate that? (as if I could!

Reading the posts above one would get the impression sharpness is only a matter of edge geometry which is only part of the story. How about steel quality? Carbon steel vs. the alloys and diamond coatings used by Feather or any other commercial razor blade manufacturer.
