I was chatting with someone about Ern razors and mentioned seeing that he’d invented a better way to do hollow grinds. Found the link I remembered (Carl Friedrich Ern & family introduced the “Hexe” machine in 1893) but learned something new when I thought to look for one on Youtube: a current artisan (Ertan Süer) has acquired such a machine and is using it for some of his current production.

    Hopefully we left docs somewhere

    Yep. They’re out there. I have no idea how we would find them without modern indexing and search technology, though. Reminds me to visit the Library of Congress again (largest public library in the US).
