A cutlery company will inmake a hun dred razors from the same pliece of steel by the same process, and part of the razors will be gooid and part of them had.

You may get a good razor for a quarter or a had one for $5. And the same razor will get a contrary edge today. so that you eau hardly shave with it, and tomorrow. without additional sharpening, it will work lik a charm. One tap will go on a bolt easily ant stay there. Another tap will hardly gi on at all. A third may be screwed oi tight and snug and yet keep comin off in spite of ill that can be done.
