Ding on my razor! How do I fix it?
On my second self-shave ever I was switching hands and must have hesitated for a second because I dropped my razor in the sink! My first instinct was to pull both my hands back so I didn't slice myself, but none-the-less my razor clattered in the sink. :gaah:
Now there is a ding on the blade toward the head on the blade. I think there may be a ding toward the shoulder too, but I'm not sure.
First question: How do I fix this??? Do I send it to Lynn to be re-honed, or is that not enough? Does it need to be restored?
Second question: I notice that in videos people don't really use the part of the blade closest to the head, and I didn't really either in my first two attempts... can I keep shaving with this razor since the body of the blade is fine? Or is that dangerous? Will I end up slicing my face off?
And, part two:
I noticed after my shave that I had visible slices on my face that never bled, and my face was REALLY raw. Did I put too much pressure on the razor as I was shaving?
Thanks guys!
