Thread: Wilhelm Noelle Armor #87 5/8th full hollow.

Thanks. That's how I interpreted the phrase. Breadknifing was a method to speed up the process. Either way, you end up with the same result, No?
My terminology might not be accurate, but my intention was. :-)

My Question to you Bob.should breadknifing ever be used.I think not JMO

I call it "breadboarding". Same means to an end, especially if chips are on the heel or toe and the edge must be reshaped anew. Some like to hone out large chips. I, on the other hand, prefer to shape my edge as I want it and start my own, new bevel with the new shape. Personal choice.

I just wanted to make sure we talking about the same terms and it seems like we were just to make sure we were on the same wave length. Yes, I guess you do wind up with the same result either way. More then one way to skin a cat, I suppose.

Good question but I have not been at this game long enough to have formed any definite opinions on that. I have done it both ways and they seemed to work for me. I am starting to think bread knifing doesn't really save me any time in the resetting the bevel process when there are chips/nick present though.

You can save a little steel by creeping up on an edge by honing freehand at a high angle first.

Bread knifing is an extreme technique appropriate for extreme circumstances. We could call it the Ripley Technique
"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

"Honing freehand at a high angle" = breadboarding! Believe it ...or NOT!

Your Noelle Amor razor is definitely worth saving and enjoying. I have this same razor in 5/8 and 6/8 sizes, both in nearly mint NOS condition having being stored since the 1950's before I got them. Both feel comfortable in the hand and shave WONDERFULLY. Both seem to be extra hollow that sing during shaving or stropping.

Did I need to specify 45º & not 90º ?
