Lol Alex. Normal straight generally range from about 14° to 18° included angle (between both sides) or half that on each side. There are of course outliers to be found.
Agreed 7.5 - 8.5 is an average per side of a standard razor.

The method I described will give you the inclusive angle or the total angle. As said it should be in the 15-18 degree range. If you don't have a height gage you could lie thr razor on a stiff sheet of something, measure the total thickness, then subtract the thickness of the sheet.Thanks I will give it a try. I figure that the omote side will be a steeper, and the ura will be shallower. If a normal hollow ground razor has the bevel angles on each side at 15 degrees, does this make the actual double sided razors cutting angle as a combined 30 degrees? I mean are we all shaving on 30+/- or shaving with 15 degree edges. If this is true and the kamisori has a omote single side bevel angle of 25 (which it might) and the ura is 5 degrees, does this make the combined 30 degrees?
I probably sound pretty stupid, I've gotten used to this.
