First Blood

My Iwasaki razor arrived yesterday. No I didn't immediately try and shave and cut my throat. I was inspecting the razor. Mighty fine workmanship. When I was rewrapping it I nicked the back corner of the blade with the tip of my thumb. Thought I just pin pricked it, but after i got it to stop bleeding I could see it was a nasty little gash. Not deep and really clean. I guess he was just introducing himself and telling me to make sure I treat him with respect. I will. Now waiting for the rest of my stuff to arrive. Then I'll be ready to cut my throat. NOT!

Yes, they are sharp.

Please be careful and take your time.

At least you learned to respect the blade without hurting yourself terribly!:tameshigiri:

Yes those short blades with points on both ends can do alot of damage unless you're very careful.
