    Cool The "best" tip for all straight razor users.!!!!

    ALWAYS be wearing some thing from the waist down. Because if you accidently drop your razor it could cut something on the way down !!!

    Several years ago, A member told about shaving right out of the shower and dropping the blade.

    He said the only thing that saved him was it hit him on the spine and not the bevel.

    Since his post, I always have a towel between me and the sink.

    Ive been saying the same warning from the beginning. I always put my shorts on before shaving.

    For me, it would only result in a sliced belly.

    Once while honing, seated, wearing shorts, I somehow dropped a razor. I was already on the .1u diamond balsa. Made a rather deep and very long cut on my calf. Since then I have always leaned firmly into the sink when shaving so as to keep Wilhelm safe from a dropped razor.
