I don't get it

If there's a necessity for practicing with a dull object, surely there is something better readily available without having to make an extra purchase and then file it down

Or is this just one of those lighthearted "ha-ha-the-GDGDs-suck" threads?

I suppose there could be some value though to having a really dull razor around to give to a young son who wants to imitate dad... still, I'd probably rather get a budco razor or something much cheaper
