Well it looks like i might have to have a go at refreshing the edge a bit sooner than i thought due to the following that happend last night:
The Mrs: Can i have a look, ive never seen a cut throat razor before.
Me: Yes sure.
hands over the razor.
The Mrs: Ohh its nice isnt it......is it sharp ?
At this point it all went a bit slow motion, before i could open my mouth and say anything the not so bright (but much prettier than me) Mrs brings said razor to her thumb and draws it accross like she is cutting a tomato.
Well you can have a good guess what happened.
Once we stemed the bleeding she decided that it was indeed sharp and i inspected the blade. It doesnt appear to have sustained any damage but im guessing it wont have done the edge much good.
On the plus side it gave me an excuse to watch some of Lynn's honing video's on youtube. My that chap makes it look very easy. Interesting veiwing.
Thanx again all for the advice and info :)
