Ever get an e-bay razor with dried blood on it?
I ended up with a nice (enough) C-Mon Special from the bay, little chip near the toe and a bit of a wave in the scales but for the price I'm pretty stoked.
The other night I was refreshing a few razors and figured I'd give the new acquisition a quick once over on the hones to assess it's immediate future.
I had noticed some brown gunk (for lack of a better word) on the inside of one of the scales and thought nothing of it. I have had a few old blades pass through my hands and some old scummy gunk on the scales is not extraordinary by any means so I ignored it as the full cleaning is in the future.
After a few passes on the hones and a dip in the water :tameshigiri:... have I cut myself honing???
Blood on the hand... a wipe on a towel and a quick look for the offending gash yields nothing :thinking:
The razor is bleeding:confused: ... looks like the brown gunk inside the scales is dried blood... looks like more than I personally think a shaving cut would account for...
Anyone else ever end up with a bloodied blade off the bay?
(I'll try to find my camera and post a picture as I didn't clean it yet)
