And a hole in the backside. A whistle to tell ya you're shaving too fast maybe? :confused:

That is clearly a mole-pivot for the rare and elusive Windmill Stroke.
Makes sense now. I was almost sure it was a whistle.
Does the 5/6 correspond to 5/6 of an inch?
Good question but it measures 6/8 at the widest part of the heel and tapers down to about 11/16's at the toe.Quote:

I wonder whether it was #5 in a 6-day set :P
