Re: Dull Razors



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.

My understanding was that most paper has a significant clay content.
You're not cutting through wood fiber, you're cutting through gravel.
