the shave itself was ok. the blade doesnt feel as sharp as the first but i equal that to my noob stropping and very bad quality strop. really cannot wait until the new one arrives. with my previous shaves I have been trying to work out the best way to remove the lather from the blade. tried wiping it with a towel but was worried that I might hurt the edge, also tried swishing it (carefully) in water in the sink and also by running it under water. today I was running it under the water.
(some of you are most likely already cringing as what has most likely happened)
well yes, it did happen!! just as i was rinsing the last bit of lather from the blade after completing my shave, I hit the tap!!! on top of that because I was bringing the razor up to inspect it as I was turning off the tap, it hit the tap right on the side of the very edge of the blade near the heal and slid along the edge for a fraction of a second making me almost collapse with the shared pain of my razor.

the end result, two very slight chips in the edge

looks like a re-hone
