Common sense was one of the first admonitions I made in the video. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect, and it only takes a split second with a sharp object to be sorry for along time.

Sure it happends,Just never happend to me.

I've had razors ellude my grip before when stropping. Thankfully, no unwanted damage to myself or the razors, but it pulls you out of that Zen zone and immediately into that pucker zone in a hurry ;)

Pixelfixed, I hope it never does, to you or anyone else. Happy, happy shaves!

When I was first learning to strop, I was trying to speed up, and I somehow missed flipping the razor on the return stroke. It ended up coming back toward my hand with the edge leading. The razor skipped along the surface, putting 4 or 5 slices in the strop across it's full width. The edge of the razor stopped about 1/16" from my hand. Pucker factor doesn't begin to describe it. I was shaking for 20 minutes or so after that. It taught me to slow down and PAY ATTENTION.

Sorry, against forum rules, Bob :deal:

I'll admit that when I was learning, like one week in, I had my shavette slip out of my soapy hand and fall straight down. Boy was I glad that I had a towel on, because it went blade toward me, straight down the front of the towel. It did cut the towel in one place, but no damage to me. I decided to finish with a cartridge after my heart stopped racing.
