I just honed my first razor that might be considered "too sharp" to shave with comfortably. I didn't do anything different from my normal honing procedures, but this one just came out blindingly sharp. I shaves superbly, but if I don't set the blade on my check ever so lightly, it will cut just from the weight of the blade. Also, as it is a spike, if I press down with my normal shaving pressure (which is pretty light, mind you) I will get a stripe down my cheek as the spike digs in and makes a perfect slice. This is the only razor in my collection that I am actually afraid of. lol
