Maybe, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Just because a woman has perfect measurements doesn't automatically make her a good wife. Wink

I think that diagram appeals to those of us with engineering / mathematical brains. I love a good drawing, blueprint, schematic or whatever. It illustrates the thought and precision that goes into a design and no, it doesn't guarantee a great shave but in my opinion its still a really cool illustration. And that razor's measurements will probably remain the same over time which can't be said about most women right?Big Grin OK, men either.

And those who like to tweak with 3D printers and such, or design actual razors ( blackland comes to mind) surely don’t just make razors without measurements and hope it works.

I would imagine that a new razor design would start with measuring all the various parameters of existing razors that work and give you close to the shave characteristics you're looking for and then start tweaking and working with prototypes. You'd have these drawings all over the place. It gives you a new respect for the Gillettes of the world who invented razors from scratch and had to come up with this stuff all on their own.

It also appeals to those of us who have an issue with razors with a larger gap.

Agreed re gaps but what it reveals is there is more to face:razor interface than gap in a vacuum.

Not to beat a deadhorse, and have zero financial interest in the endeavour but Timeless has really been a revelation. Prior to trying their 0,95 OC, could not have imagined it leaving my face in one piece let alone delivering an irritation free bbs shave using Feather blades. It has truly piqued my curiousity as to whether it is unique design elements, adherence to geometry, method of manufacture or some other factor facilitating this. While certainly admitting my skin hypersensitive, beard very coarse and facial structure unique from injuries can not help but think it working for many others. I wanted to trial the razor with predisposition to believe my current hardware superiour but it immediately won me over. Suspect understanding the dimensional statistics will go a long way to explaining my experience.
