Thread: "The Wiki Crew proudly annouce the Straight Razor Database

..yes! I know that drawing and I like it!. For me it works.

[I know: I speak too much and I write too bad but..] ..but also the size field should be "closed" with STD values (in 16th of an inch). There is a blade in the DB with "Big" as value for "size". The problem could be if one wants to write something like: "from 15/16 to 8/8".

[oh my god.. please stop me! eheheh]

The manufacturer filed should be organized in the same way as the page title: Last name before. Otherwise this manufacturers list is [ehehehe]

Thank you for your answers, I'll start renaming them soon.

Ad the grind: we should explicitly note that we are interested in today's standards, i.e. some old Sheffield blades can be marked "Hollow" yet are only 1/4 hollow with respect to modern blades.

we're going to need graphic examples

Fantastic: now it is easyer to fill the form! Thanks

how about something like this? If this is the idea then maybe someone can make a clean version and we can go ahead and use this temporarily

Bingo!

Lee, that looks a fine design... but out of curiousty... where would one list a extra hollow with a belly on that chart?

changing the subject slightly ... are e calling it "silver steel" or simply carbon?

Sorry for all the worng nomemclature i have added to the database... i'll simply stop

I put manufacturer's name in alphabetical order (.. hope this is good..). Would it be possible to write somewhere that this could be the STD way to enter them [not only for page titles]?

Wherever one wanted to, really. The chart is just a guide The first razor on the chart is supposed to represent an extra hollow with a belly though

[Edit: Hey, where did it go? - I had accidentally cut it off, it's back now]

I'm calling it carbon, but there's nothing wrong with calling it silver steel either
