Thread: Help with Anxiety

When I was first learning, I made an invocation to the razor before shaving. I think something like, "please don't cut me" will work just fine.

I've been shaving with a straight for a long time now and I rarely cut myself. Fortunately/unfortunately, my 7-day set arrived last Wednesday and I just completed my first full cycle of all 7 razors. What I learned is that, before agreeing to be your razor, all new razors demand a blood sacrifice. So, my advice is to give the blood willingly. It will teach you good technique and it will form a bond of love and respect with your new razor.
