Knocking on wood as I type this but I've never dropped a razor in my life. :shrug: nor dinged the edge on the faucet. I've cut a gouge in a strop though. :o

That's some good thinking, Ron, I guess one of the Geneva's then as they are easier and cheaper to replace.
Come on, Glen, I've done a lot worse - my story goes likeQuote:

And Mr. FreeHoner started charging right after this incident....

As a newb I started with three blades - a Satinedge, a Henckels 18, and a Challenge Cutlery (all square points, btw:p) - and if you think you're going to just use one or two while the others sit there unused, calling out to you - fuggedaboudit! Try them all!

I say start with either of the Geneva razors. They are top notch shavers, but not "gasp in horror at my screw-up" valuable if you ding them on the faucet or drop it on the floor.
Also, I say drop that Arkansas like a hot rock. Stick with the Carborundum if it is really made for straight razors. Some of them weren't so be sure before you take a shave ready, but needing touch up razor to the stone.
Anyhow, the few I have had were pretty consistent, and they are great little barber hones: comfortable edges, medium cutting speed, practically indestructible.
