    May not work but you won't care.

    I had better use a bottle and a half if I have to ever make this offering. Half a bottle isn't enough to do much of anything for me. A bottle would be much more effective.

    Default Ohh.

    'Just made me cringe to read. 'Just makes me dirge for ya. I've heard of the same thing being done w/ a Williams custom (I'm sure most blades are represented sooner or later). This one was dropped on a hard tile floor.

    'Very sorry to hear, Roughkype. May it be the last time you're visited by the curse.

    If it happens a third time, then its a sign. Rehone into good shape and sell it,.......the sign is that you and the razor are not getting along.

    Good Luck,

    Default Try this rule

    As said above never take your eyes off your razor. I deal with needles or what we call sharps in the back of a moving ambulance all the time. The rule is when you have one in your hand you watch it and it only until it is in a safe place, to the extreme of the rule of saying "sharp in the air", and "sharp away", if I have a partner in back with me.

    Thanks, Takedeadaim. Yours is an especially vivid example.

    It's only the wedge I've done this with, and I do watch it. It's the only wedge in my collection (so far), and my theory is that its mass gives it more momentum than I'm used to managing.

    Thanks Roughkype, both for your complement and for helping to provide a place where one feels comfortable telling such a story and knows he will not take abuse.
