Thanks AFDavis11! That was a very interesting article to read. I loved the last sentence: "A barber's razor made fifty years or more ago constantly reminded its owner on this point, for neatly etched on the side of the blad were the words: 'You lather well and I'll shave well.'"
I also thought the following was interesting: "As the photographs of highly magnified razor edges show, the first and most important step is to keep the cutting edge clean and well oiled or greased when not in use."
