 Latham, V. A. — To Sharpen Razors. 



[" The simplest method of sharpening a razor is to put it for half-an-hour in 

 water, to which has been added one-twentieth of its weight of (HCI) hydro- 

 chloric acid and water (which is muriatic acid), or sulphuric acid, then lightly 

 wipe after a few hours ; set it on a hone. The acid here supplies the place of a 

 whetstone, by corroding the whole surface uniformly, so that nothing further 

 than a good polish is necessary. The process never injures good blades, while 

 badly hardened ones are frequently improved by it."]
