Hello All
I’ll get right to the point.
Is there any purpose to the second shoulder (sometimes called a stabilizer I think) on a straight or is it only relevant to the grinder. I tend to dislike them since the can hinder honing a bit but other than that I find that they change anything. Though of course it’s impossible for me to compare the same razor with and without a double shoulder.
As best as I can tell they are pretty standard for full hollow grinds these days but many of the vintage Solingens were singles. Anyone know why it was changed?
