Just to clarify, Glen is vouching for the "Test" and the fact that somebody "Walt" is taking the time to do the test to see if there is anything there..

I think the more actual tests that are done with razors adds to our combined database, I am waiting in the wings like the rest of us for the results..

Here are some things I have learned over that last few years on these forums, never ever take what anyone has to say as gospel with this hobby, not even those old barber's manuals,, everything is YMMV and unless you test it yourself you will never know for sure...

PS: Thanks Pete you just gave me an idea for this months beginner's tips
