Straight Razor Questions
Hello All. I have just about finished a friction folder, and I have been inspired to make myself a straight razor.
But I just have some questions about the edge. 1.) Are they hollow ground, flat ground or moran ground? 2.) Are the ground on both sides, or just on one side (chisel ground)? 3.) If both sides are ground, are they matching grinds (same on both, flat one side hollow on the other,etc) My experiences with straight razors, have been pretty thin. Just one straight razor shave on my wedding day, all other razor encounters have been of the disposable type. Thank you all for your responses. Take care guys. __________________ Dean McKay NT Yard'n Ape McKay With a Strong Hand |

Thanks for the quick response Tim, that is what I thought. But I wanted to double check before I take sharp steel to the face.
Thanks again. __________________ Dean McKay NT Yard'n Ape McKay With a Strong Hand |

You could make a killer Straight Razor with jade slabs. Man that would be cool.
