I'm vacationing in Hilton Head, and we took a day trip to Savannah today. I spotted four or five antique stores, and one of them had about twenty straights, an assortment of mugs, and couple brushes. They were WAY overpriced, but alas...
The proprietor of this fine establishment was standing with me while I perused through his collection. I went through and was giving him lessons on things, brands I'd heard of, razor anatomy, etc. He obviously didn't have any experience other than having them in a display case.
Anyway, we got to a razor that had a barber's notch, and after I pointed it out by name, he asked if it had a purpose. I was stumped.
Help me out B&B, what is the purpose of it, if any? Or is it just aesthetics?
