heh ... I am reminded of my FIL who wanted to get set up with straight shaving gear so I did that for him on Father's Day a couple of years back. The fact that I told him to be careful and supplied him with much information and even offered to answer any question he had or demonstrate anything he found confusing didn't stop him from slicing one of his finger pads off at his first stropping.

He hasn't touched the stuff since.
