Ya know there is a lot to be said for having a 1/4" deep razor, that takes a good edge, for getting into those odd spots. I have a Dovo that is quite a bit...
Boy I REALLY hate to say this, but that sounds like a job for a norelco (with santa riding down the hill on a sled powered by the three little blades)... That...

That's how I got a hold of the '70 Caddy. It had a 472 with a big Stromburg 2bbl. in it. I wanted a '70 El Dorado with a 500 and a big Stromburg 4bbl. though....
There are a lot of CRKT fans because they make decent knives for the money. I highly recommend to CRKT fans to avoid going to knife shows or handling any of...
I have yet to find a good solution for sharpening ceramic knives. I've got two Bokers and after hours of trying everything from diamond hones and diamond paste...
I received a large lot of vintage razors running the gamut from totally and completely destroyed to darned near mint. There weren't many of the darned near...
When I try to download this Toishi file, I get an error message stating, "This Program has Performed an Illegal Operation", and my puter will not download it....
Believe it or not my 1960 Caddy rode better than my 1970, but not much better. You're right about those 70 Caddy's they have the 472 or 500 ci motors in them...
Hey Everyone, I'm Alan and I'm the newbie. My straight razor shaves the soft hairs of the back of my neck great. The face, forget it. So I'm thinking it's...

I have to admit I still am leery about shavineg my neck. Something about the major veins and arterys there. I take a couple of swipes, but either I need to...
It's your razor and you can round off the edge if you want - diamond hones are particularly good for this - I would NEVER advise putting a razor on a grinding...
When all else fails, try using the free Mozilla browser: WWW.MOZILLA.ORG. It's got a ton of features that I.E. doesn't have, is generally more secure from...
An Arkansas stone will only get you partway there. With a super-fine touch on the stone, you can get an edge that will shave, but I can't imagine even the...
If you are using a spike razor and continue to cut yourself, you might consider getting a round point. I use both types and sometimes, if I am not careful, the...
From "The Steel FAQ" by Joe Talmadge AUS-6 - AUS-8 - AUS-10 (aka 6A 8A 10A) Japanese stainless steels, roughly comparable to 440A (AUS-6, .65% carbon) and 440B...

To me, and this is just my personal feeling; if you round off the point of a spike it distroys the value of the razor. I won't buy one that has had this done....
I wouldn't buy a spike that's been modified, either. If I want a rounded razor, I'll buy one that's rounded, but if it's my own personal blade for personal...
Welcome newbie! You have found a really good bunch of people. I also am rather new so take my suggestions with a grain of salt or more.:)) My current count of...
May I suggest not "rounding off" the point but instead just make 1/4" of the point dull? To do this simply place 1/4" of the tip of the razor, edge down(90...
After reading your post and the follow up posts to using a hard arkansas stone, I did a test. I had a razor that was shaving poorly and "pulling" badly as I...
