The bending stiffness of a beam with rectangular cross section a × b ~ b³. Finally years of teaching structural mechanics have paid off! 😅

😂 very true!

How much do you strop between shaves?

Oh, I really don't do anything special, just a little drop of oil near the pin. You can feel that it goes in because the friction holding the scales diminishes.

I repeat that every few shaves. I *think* this treatment keeps water from getting in there

I should mention that I keep the pins slightly oiled (with Dovo razor oil, which I think is a generic mineral oil). So even when lather/water gets to the pin, it's really unlikely to get into the pub hole and sit for a long time.

Same. Turns out there was some hiccup with the postal service and it went back to them. Doesn't seem to be anything they did wrong, just bad luck 🙄

I've made good experiences with them so far (I have two other Zeniths from them).

I think it's because they are open blades. The learning curve is real and the nicks are of a different "quality" than when learning safety razors 😅

The angle is easier to find than on any other shavette I've tried because the blades are very sturdy, yet the spine is thin (think geometry of a DE shavette with blade quality of a Feather AC shavette). It's really as close to a hollow ground as you can get, arguably even better, depending on your preferences (the coated blades glide better than a straight ever could, if that's important to you).

@sgrdddy
Is this a lucky coincidence or epic nerd humour from you that you post shave number 522 (HTML error code for "connection timed out") with this blade 4 days late? 😂

Yup I've run into this issue previously. 🫤
