I have a Morley razor, 5/8" with a barber notch. I remember reading somewhere that it was used to work around the nostrils and such. While shaving my upper lip, I haven't felt at a disadvantage with a notch/no notch.
Is there someone out there who uses the notch? Or is this one of those things lost to time. Like the purpose of the saw nib on woodworking hand saws, where nobody quite knows for sure, but there are plenty of theories.
