i can now annoy people on another website ;)

my first video (by somewhat of a request) is a 49 second long bit demonstrating the use of the GEM automatic stropping machine. its no gone with the wind, but for my first video, its not bad. expect more to come, all dealing with single edge razors/blades. i am open to doing videos by request. you will never see my face though (OCD, sorry :o )

heres the first video:

Fascinating stuff. Thank you very much for taking the time to shoot and upload the video. Now is it effective?

[D.irving79]

of course it is. all a wedge blade is is a 2 inch piece of straight razor. this is just a way to cope with the fact that theres no handle (or scales).

Pink?!! Well, you shave with such manly razors that you can have whatever color of tile you want! ;)

Great video Dave! What a cool little device, I like that it flips / rotates the blade :)
