Learning the hard way....

I purchased a brandnew razor, and thought it was sharp... I learned the hard way, that it wasnt. I made a second purchase on ebay and bought a used razor. A really beatiful one. This thing was sharpened by the seller - and it was sharp!

I picked it up at the postoffice, unrapped it and put it in my pocket.
When I got home I reached in my pocket to get my keys, and the razor had unfolded. Did I mention that this thing was sharp?
Well it was, and might I add, it was not the most clever of moves I have done.

My fingers are ok now though. :)

Here is video if me shoving the razor and my bandaged fingers - dont worry nothing groce and no blod.

YouTube - Straight razor cut

Good thing is, that I learned how sharp a razor can be, and I have now honed my other razors to the same level.

Now thats entertainment!!! I just wished the video had subtitles!:roflmao

:eek:Ouch!!

I carry a razor many times in my pocket with out mishap. The only thing to rembember is, tails up you win , tail down razor wins.

Hi - I was the seller and I'm really sorry that you cut yourself like that: it must have been a nasty surprise for you! I've never carried one in my pocket before, but like Dicestone says, tails down the razor wins. Maybe someone could come up with a way of adding a small release - like the old flick-knives had - to keep the blade in place.

I'm glad there was no lasting damage.
Sincerely,
Neil.

Hi Neil

Please dont feel bad! :nono:

It was my own fault and no harm is done (permanently).

I will be sure to purchase razors from you some other time.

Thx :)

Actually some of the old razors did have kind of a thumb release on the scales. I have a Torey with that.

I'll have to look out for that - sounds interesting, thanks.

Regards,
Neil.
