My eyes are watering dude...

Well --here's one: I was doing some window restoration for my parents and my chisel slipped and cut the side of my thumb to the bone (through nerves as I realized later)
My father was around so he took me (I should of stopped) and held my thumb, opened the cut and poured denatured alcohol into it ------yeaaaaaaaaaah !!!!! ---boy that made my kiwi's shrink a little ---anyway --- the face thing was mild in comparison.

My father's got something coming to him

I suppose sharpness (no matter how sharp) ends when a deteriorating (overhoned) edge begins? ---- awh fudge!!!

Only in the hands of an overly sharp or overhoned shaver.

No razor can be too sharp. Once you pass a certain point the edge is ruined.

You should never ever use the term too sharp because if you do the SRP Straight Razor Police will be alerted and you don't want them to pay you a visit.
