Thread: The shaving gods have spoken

So before I researched properly I bought a too good to be true "deal", which I have been attempting to learn with until my razors from Larry @ Whipped Dog arrive.

Tonight the shaving gods spoke when I smacked it into the tap (faucet?).

Looks like I'm going to have to be patient and wait until my properly honed shave ready razors arrive...

At least I can keep practicing making lather.



Hopefully my phone behaves and the picture works.

Well, think yourself lucky you did that with your 'practice' razor. Now, to ingrain the lesson in your mind, set to and hone those dings out back to a 'shave-ready' (or there abouts) edge. When you see how long that takes, you'll promise yourself to never, ever make that mistake again! Voice of experience speaking here.

It's all good, everybody and I mean everybody has/will do it eventually. Yours looks pretty minor, and on your practice razor as well; I would count myself lucky. I dinged my most expensive razor when my fubar decided to rear its ugly head. That is a feeling of disbelief, anger, and stupidity like no other... pretty much like this lol!

It's kind of like the Polio vaccine. If you smack your razor into the faucet once, that is a learning experience that will serve you for a lifetime. I know, and I did it with one I had just put my best edge on.

Definitely glad it wasn't a good edge to start with! Won't be honing it any time soon as I've already got the makings of RAD (1 + 2 coming) & Strop AD (2 leather, 1 linen + 1 leather and a balsa coming) so buying hones will cause me trouble with the household financial controller and she doesn't fully know what I've bought yet.

I'm sure is going to be a good shaver when is ready lol how did it come to be like that ??
