their opinion of it.


Is this like the one where you put a razer blade under a pyramid and
use "Pyramid Power" to extend the life of the blade? :-)

Grandfather used to push the double edged blade around the inside of a
water glass with his finger.

And at one time you could buy hard Arkansas stones that were ground with a
hollow, made for re-sharpening double-edged blades. I haven't seen one of
those for a while -- oh, maybe 40 years now. g They were maybe 2-1/2
inches long, 1-3/4 inches wide.

They worked pretty well on the old carbon-steel blue blades. (Yes, those are
what I started shaving with.)
