Me too. Actually, still do when I reread

While it is just a guess, I think that you miraculously dodged the bullet! HOWEVER you will only know when you shave! If you have a loupe to help you look at the edge it would help! I once dropped a razor and while it landed on the spine 'something' happened on the edge, it wasn't chipped but it had a small area right in the middle of the blade that wasn't right and needed to be rehoned to fix it! (Stropping didn't cut it)!

I think that if you take the time to double up on the cloth and then the leather you will find out if it needs help!

Personally I'd try 100 on the cloth and 200 on the leather just go slow and pay attention and then give it a go with a shave!

I hope this helps!

Lol I didn't think about it being read that way! I like it!

Cudarunner, I hope you're right. I do have a loupe and will use that to check it out tomorrow when I get back. Unless I see something major I'll take your advice with the 100/200 stropping, thank you! I already feel pretty lucky that I didn't get hurt and if the razor got hurt it wasn't bad enough that I could see it with just my eye. I'll report back after I look at it better tomorrow night.

That's why I never shave naked!

Seriously. I thought he meant a body part fell off.

I always wondered why guys in those turn of the century pictures were always wearing suits and starched collars when they shaved. And shoes too, I'd suppose. https://archive.org/details/shavingmadeeasyw0020th

One of my hobbies is bird watching. I never stop getting a kick out of photographs of those same turn-of-the-century guys, up to mid-thigh in the goo of some sweltering swamp or bog, binoculars in hand, wearing those suits and collars.

Haha I started to change that after the first comment but figured everyone was getting a kick outta it so I'd leave it for the fun! Gotta be able to laugh at yourself right?
