Thread: Yup....its sharp!

So I bought a razor from Sarty24 about a week ago. I had honed it, and gotten it shaving well. So today I figured that (while watching Voyager) I would polish it up a bit. Not too much (I like the old look) but enough to take off a few years. I an rubbing away, and in the middle of doing the first side......................I slip.


Yeah, you get the picture. Blood dripping almost streaming onto the floor. The razor goes flying across the room. Before I could even get to the sink, I had spilled at least a tablespoon of blood across the floor. LOL So now I have a slice across the tip pf my right index finger. It was only about a half inch long, but it went all the way to the bone.

So the lesson kids............Star Trek......THEN razors. ROFL

man thats terrible. Polish your razors with a dremmel. I'm sure next time you will make sure to do your polishing before you hone. hope that wounds heals up quickly.

Yep. They certainly don't muck around. Ouch!
All the best

It's best to polish before honing as it is very difficult to avoid damaging the edge. Plus the blade is easier to handle when you do it. I learned that from experience - fingers bleed lots.

look at the bright side, you honed it well!! good job!

sorry about the cut though

Liquid Bandaid is great for those kinds of cuts.
