Well just how cool is that HTR?! Welcome to the BESS Exchange and thank you for providing information that we have been looking forward to for a very long time. So now we know. Not only can straight razor edges be sharpened "as sharp" as a standard DE blade but even sharper than a Feather razor blade.
We've also have a sneaking suspicion that this wasn't the first straight razor edge that you've sharpened. No "after dark" and "curtains pulled tight" for you. You obviously know what you're doing. 17 isn't far off of microtome numbers. Isn't it interesting that these edges can roll to the degree your's did after shaving and then be brought right back with a piece of leather? Now we know why those old barber shop strops were attached right to the side of the chair.
Can't thank you enough HTR and hope that you are able to bring us more in the future.
P.S. Does this mean that you're not overly impressed with our 65?
