Ben,
After seeing that Harner, I am no longer scared of anything in my cabinet. THAT razor is terrifying!

that is...*speechless* is that razor really intended to shave with? definitely scary

I can't really say that any of my blades scare me per se, just that from exerience I have to be a bit more cautious with some more than others. Though I'll admit the first couple honemeister edges I received had me a bit hesitant at first; after the first few strokes I realized it was no big deal and continued on shaving. Sometimes we tend to psyche ourselves out of a good shave over the little things, especially at the beginning.

I'd not given this any thought. Perhaps I'm reckless, or don't own any really outrageous blades. But I tend to agree with Otto, a dull blade is an invitation to problems and those blades are scariest. But, if I encounter one, which I've not for a very long time, they are not used for long.
