Thread: How delicate is my edge?

Since I'm relatively knew to honing, I have yet to build up the necessary muscle memory/technique to feel confident in my honing. This, coupled with the fact that I'm for some reason treating my edge as if it will roll or chip if I breathe too heavy near it, leads to a lot of pussyfooting and timidness when honing, adding both time, and probably some poor technique. Since I'm stating this, I'm aware that I'm likely being overly cautious, but can any tell me in a more confident manner how delicate (or rather how 'strong') a razor's edge is? If I accidentally gently bump it on the corner of my paddle strop or wooden table, do I have to start all over again, or can it take a bump or two on non metal or crystalline objects and be OK? Also, I currently shave with a kamisori - are they any more or less delicate than traditional straights?

Thanks
