Placement of nylon washers for cosmetic reasons

Fenster said:
I believe they are used more on the artisan/small batch/expensive Stainless Steel razors. From what I have read the reasoning was that Stainless has more of a tendency to scratch, gouge, and gall than Brass or chrome plated parts do. I am not sure if this is true or not, its just what I read. Also i believe folks that are particular about their stuff or that flip $$$ razors often use the washers to prevent marks caused from removing/installing the handle to the base.

I used one for a while on my Game Changer, but I kept losing it about every other time I changed blades so I just gave up on it and don't bother with them now. :)

Bernard was a terrible commander. He fought in the wrong war. He was outmatched at every engagement.

Not going to argue that point, at least he pushed Rommel back from Egypt, which by the way is where I think those useless plastic washers are sourced.
 
Is there a record for how fast a thread goes sideways? Asking for a friend.

Innocent enough question about a washer on a razor ends up with WWII re-visit!
hehehe.
