Thread: The business end of a spike point

Sometimes I think what we learn on is what we get comfortable with. When I got my first razor I didn't know this place existed and did not know a spike from a round. As a result my first razor was a spike and I didn't know enough to be afraid of it. So I learned and did get a nick here and there but think the learning curve on the spike was better just because I didn't get nervous about the point. I just thought that was how they were made. so I guess my point is when we make a big deal about spikes I think maybe we scare and make some of the new guys more worried which in turn makes it harder to learn. all you really need to understand is that all razors can cut you, show them all the same respect and you will be fine.

I agree. All razors demand respect and your full attention or their going to get you.
