I hope you can bring your razor "back to life".
My wife never did anything with my razors, nor I haven't told her anything about them. She just knows they're sharp and because she's scared to death to cut herself with anything (she faints at the sight of blood) she leaves them alone.

Disaster is called off, guys. I managed to save it with the pasted leather.
After several laps, I finally got it back to passing the HHT, the way it did when I first got it. Tried a shave, and it went smooth as rain.
A bit rough on the ATG pass, but that's due to my shoddy technique.

GAWD ALMIGHTY!! You guys crack me up. What a great thread. JMS, The MDT(missing digit test), not that I'm tempted to try this method, but out of curiosity, how often do you use it?

Thanked: 4 Been there too!
I caught my wife using a straight razor once. I walked into the bedroom and saw her kneeling beside the bed, straight razor in hand with one of her wooly sweaters sprawled out. Yeah, so she was using my straight razor to remove excess lint from the sweater. The sweater looked great but she dulled the heck out my razor. Luckily it was once of my old ones. No worries! I honed it up and put it back into rotation.
I'm not looking forward to the colder months again, as I know she is going to be begging me for a straight razor to "touch up" her sweaters.

When my parents were first dating, my mother wanted to suprise my dad by freshly ironing all his clothes. She tried to iron a couple of his 100% polyester leisure suits, and the iron melted right through two pairs instantly.
