This may be a stupid or odd question but what was the original purpose of the barbers notch?? Does it have a purpose or any rhyme for this reason so to speak?
I believe it's a finger notch which is useful for shaving someone else, but not really yourself. I'm certain I heard that somewhere and didn't make it up but I don't have a source for you...
Not sure about one-handed, but I also read it was to make it easier to open.It made it easier for a barber to open a straight razor 1 handed.
No it wasn't. Prove it!It was designed to create arguments on shaving forums in the future.
