Re: Dull Razors



Lois says: "OK! Now I gotta get in here. WHY is it that you guys
always claim that a
woman's using a razor dulls it more than if a man uses it??? I never
have
understood that one."

Mike : It could be just to get even for all those times my mom told me that if
I use her sewing scissors to cut paper that it would dull them.

that one i always have believed. paper is harder to cut than most fabrics.
more wear against the cutting edges, i supposed.


Or it could also be that there are more square inches in legs than in
faces.

but beard hair (how's this for a blatant generality?) is tougher than leg
hair, and should have more wearing effect. if it were corrosion, then time
alone would cause the dulling.
