Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

The whole problem of 'barber's notch' versus 'hollow point' is really about the division between the names users give things and the names factories give them.

A guy working at his grinding wheel is going to call it a hollow point and a hollow spine. The users call them barbers notches and swaybacks. Anything the grinder has to concave out, typically, is referred to as hollow. Further down the line, as they're sold and used they get lots of other names.

The term 'barber's notch' isn't really going to confuse anyone. Personally, I consider it as valid a term as hollow point.

Also, I'm very envious of that 'Real Platina Steel' razor!

Im going to give you the router help. Your trying to take to much material at once with a router that's not powerful enough or a dull bit. Im routering constantly at work, hanging doors, making shelving, custom casing. I always leave a bit of wood for the end, like a 1/6 or so, and remove that 1/6 to give it a nice clean look. Even If you have to set the depth 5 times so its not burning, take a bit of material at a time. Also, if the material cant escape that bit and starts clogging up by the bit, this will also generate tons of heat.

Just my 2 cents.

I forgot. Nice razors by the way!!!

Thanks. I did do about 5 removals for the router but was having lots of problems with bad connections in the triggers and our bits were dull and burnt out from a long time ago. I almost didn't want to put pics up it looks so crappy

I hope everyone knows that I was just kidding. I love reading the barbers notch vs. hollow point threads when they pop up. So I figured that I'd apply the knowledge here...Hey how bout those Knicks!..LOL
