Let me be really clear, in case it was not clear to everyone from my posts. I'm not even coming close to claiming that the idea of resting a razor works. I was simply explaining the theory behind it. I have seen the principle in action, but spring steel frames for glasses, are a completely different beast than a razor edge.

On the other hand, I've got razor #3 on the way, and I fully intend to test the theory out for myself.

Hmmmmm one point for stropping before the shave regardless, of anything else....

Micro-oxidation, there is a huge thread on this already in the forum with pics to accompany all the info....
