So I have spent a lot of time learning how to hone a razor. Well today it all came together and I had a razor poping hairs off of my arm without touching my skin. So I figured lets take it to the next step and do a shave test. I stropped it and prepared my face. The shave was going very well I did two passes on either side of my face it felt very close and smooth. Then I went to rinse the blade and took my eyes off of the blade for a second and I hear a sound of metal on metal SCRAPING. Yep I hit the blade on the water tap. So after some colorful adjectives left my mouth I cleaned up my face and took a look at the blade and I saw what you see below. To top it off I don't think I needed to do those second passes or at least use the same amount of pressure I had used in the past because it had shaved very close. So I guess its back to the stones and hopefully it will not take the same amount of time as the first time.
Moral of this story If you rinse your blade don't take your eyes off of it. I think I will switch to wiping the blade on a towel.
