I have to agree with most of the folks above, that is a wonderful problem to have. Be careful and enjoy your success.

"Too sharp" is a technique issue. Enjoy! :)
What was your honing procedure?

This razor is possibly possessed by a demon, it's already drawn finger-blood once. Send it to one of the "member services" people in the classifieds for proper exorcism and honing using holy water.
I used a BBW followed by a yellow coti,a fast cutter then a harder one,followed by my thurrigan first with slurry,diluted down to water,and that butterfly kiss touch Ive read about,I knew I had it when it passed the HHT like nothing I have ever seen before, and when I say I got careless I mean the wheight of the blade sunk the edge into my skin. These edges are better than the razor I sent to one of our well known Honemisters ( I didnt ask to use his name so I wont) and he gave me very good marks.but I would like him to try these
That's the weird thing, I never cut myself shaving. I cut myself while honing and not paying attention. All it take is a touch if the blade drags length wise. I had a decent cut but styptic fixed it, such a sharp cut there's no scar.
Never touch that razor again: it is possessed. Send it to me for safe disposal.
Enjoy!
I have Holzhaur Sons 6/8 razor that I sometimes describe as "scary-sharp." I have honed all my razors and this one is noticeably sharper than any other one I have. Anyway, this one time my dog went "crazy," in the window of our house, on a squirrel in the yard. When he howled I was shaving my chin with the Holzaur and I dug it in by my sudden reaction. It bled and bled and bled. Since that time, I now shave with a little portable radio on my favorite country station while in the bathroom. I keep the volume just loud enough to drown the hound out!
If it is that shapr, never shave naked.
