Thanked: 108faucet arrghh! help
So I have this beautiful new heavy quarter hollow (on mparker's excellent recommendation - thanks), shave-ready from John Crowley, and I'm just starting to get terrific shaves, even around the chin and upper lip. I've used it four times now, and today as I'm rinsing it afterwards I tap the edge (very very gently) against the faucet. Arrrghh.
Is it just a given that I've ruined the edge? I remember reading somewhere never to attempt to shave w/ a razor that you've dropped or hit against the faucet, etc. Should I just give it a go tomorrow, gently? If I've screwed up the edge, how will it feel? Dull? Rough? Lacerating?
And if I have screwed it up, what's it likely to need - a full honing, resetting the bevel etc., or would 5-10 swipes on a coticule get it back in order?
