Thread: No clue, no microscope, first honing, shave test average

Cornelius, when you do the TPT it shouldn't cut you. Touch the blade very lightly and if it is sharp it will grab the skin. If it is dull your thumb pad will slide along as if it were on ice. The duller the more it slides and the sharper the more it grabs. I was told to use a new DE blade to practice the TPT and that helped a lot. You'll like the microscope.
