Many weeks ago I finally got my Sheffield to shave nicely, then while tuning up the heel or toe I whacked it against the hone and had to breadknife out a big nick in the edge. Lots of hone wear (and, eventually, two tape layers) later I got the whole smiling edge to shave beautifully. That was last night, and while rinsing lather off the blade I whacked it against the faucet and nicked it again.
:boohoo:
Is it safe to shave with a nicked blade?
This is the only heavy blade in my rotation, and I wonder if that's why I keep swinging it into things. Once moving, it really likes to stay moving. Does anyone else have an accident-prone razor?
