An interesting 1931 article on blades, straights, and stropping

I ran across this article in October, 1931 edition of Poplar Science titled: "Wonder Photos Reveal Unsuspected Facts About Razor Blades and Shaving" http://blog.modernmechanix.com/wond...ades&Qif=razor_blades_0.jpg&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=XL

Article is partly about the microphotography techniques and partly about blades, straights, and stropping.

Hope you enjoy.

What an interesting series of articles. And the old five-blade from way back in the day. Each of the articles has interesting information. I enjoy self-commenting on the difference in editorial/writing techniques. Great pieces, thanks for posting them.

What a neat article! I love old reads like this! Thanks

cool!
did popular science merge with modern mechanics, to become Popular Mechanics??

Thanks for the post. Down in the straight razor forum there is still plenty of disagreement ...err, I mean discussion..., about what is actually happening when we strop.

Wonderful! Thanks for posting this for us!

Nice post-appreciate the research.

Thanks for the post.

It's amazing how technology has changed. They used to have professionals in laboratories researching this and then publishing it in print. Now we have professionals in their houses posting it on B&B.

Good post. Thanks.

Great reading !....Thanks for posting !
