Well, a mere three days after receiving my freshly honed razor back from Lynn, I dropped it while stropping. Rats. Fortunately, neither my feet nor my cats were in the way when it fell, so the only damage has been to my razor.
The end is scratched up, but that's not a big deal. When I turn the razor just right, I can see by the way light reflects off the edge that there is some minor damage to the blade itself. To verify this, I pulled the razor across my thumbnail, as when testing for a proper hone. I could feel it skip in a few spots.
How difficult is it to repair this kind of damage? I assume that I would need to start with a number of passes over a course stone, either 1000 or 4000. I only have an 8000, so I doubt that would do much good (...maybe after a few thousand passes).
Oh well. Back to the electric...
