P...Oh, I know, I'm staving off that RAD myself. Perhaps more leaning toward the modern SEs, which make $2.99/10 supermarket SE blades look like a bargain. I did it by filing a flat bevel into the top cap of an inexpensive Super Speed clone and removing most of its safety bar, leaving the blade corners protected. This simulates the SE geometry somewhat, albeit without satisfying any curiosity about the blades themselves.<br /><br />I found that modification relatively unforgiving at moderate angles of pitch, compared to snapping the guard off a Rimei. The curved DE top cap does more to differentiate the angles at which the blade opposes skin and hair. I infer that SE blades, like straight razors, aren't anywhere near as sharp. I enjoy a nice tug-and-cut once in awhile, but I think as a regular reader, I think I can deduce pretty well that you don't.Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.com
