Thread: Razor Angle

Has anyone computed what the approximate angle is when the razor's spine is elevated one spine's thickness above the face? I generally try to watch what the edge is doing rather than concentrate on the non-business end of the blade, so I'm not real sure what the gaposis is, but I have noticed that I tend to elevate the spine more with my non-dominant hand and the resulting shave feels different from the dominant hand shave.

By the by, I had a Friodur with Speick cream shave this morning. Dunno what the angles were, probably somewhere around 27 5/16 degrees, but for all I know it could have been closer to 19.12 as my protractor got all lathered up and I couln't read the numbers to save my parts; however, it was darn close and comfortable. Maybe it was actually 30, it was that good.
