    "no two beards are alike" That is very true! I once sold a razor that I found didn't agree with my beard type to a fellow member of the forum. The next day he told me how he found the edge to be extremely smooth and shaved his beard effortlessly.

    And those yclept noobs ought always to know it is safely averred that the fault of painful and difficult shaving is more frequently caused by the shaver than by the shaving instrument!

    Great article and find, Martin.

    There is one thing that befuddles me though...

    If I humored my wife like I humor my razors, I might end up in hot water. I don't think she'd appreciate electrical tape wrapped around the back of her head, her face passed over a Norton 4/8 repeatedly and then be stropped and tested. I'd end up with nicks and razor burn for sure.

    Wow, what an awesome article. This makes me want to start writing and responding to emails at work like they did in 1841!

    Good info in there too.

    Thanks for sharing!
