Grabbed my Blue Wonder 7/8 spike point last nite for a shave. And i know this thing bites , so i am carefull with it. Well it like holding a freeking Cobra thats pi$$ed off and dont you know it bit me good!!!! It didnt take long either,i just swapped to my left hand,to do a down stroke on the cheek and Whammmo, i am leeking like a stuck pig,but i keep shaving cus this aint my first rodeo.Took a while for that one to stop bleedn. Looks like i have to let this one heal for about 3-4 days befor i shave again!! It was just one of those days.

It's like Forrest said in the movie

I have quite a few spike points, but the one that wants to bite me the most is a charlie Lewis razor.
That thing requires the upmost attention at all times. Sorta like my wi... eh, never mind

I did a cut on both my right and left cheeks next to my ears on my very first shave using a dull Case Red Imp 132 with a wicked spike. Made me want to round that spike.

I am glad you kept on going. Good for you.

Happy Shaving!

My demise is a lovely old Heljestrand, it is sharp and smooth, but it has an evil tendency to leave a mark. Sometimes after wielding that one I have to wear superglue for aftershave

I've been having to use a disposable on the moustache area for the last few days due to my old Bismark spike point. Tried to get fancy with it and it left a hlaf inch mark to remind me to keep it simple.

I have two biters, one I can handle, but have no affinity for. The other, well she speaks for herself: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...xe-custom.html
I wouldn't say a cobra though. Out of all of my encounters the younger boas like my red-tail are more bitey.
Good luck taming that beast.

Easy Monster, you don't want to find yourself having to look for another one... LOL

My first shave with a spike poked my earlobe somehow - maybe I have given them enough respect since then, only the wicked Brunorazor spike has bit me since then

My "cobra" is a square point but it has one hell of a burr ... surprised the hell out of me the first time I used it. Speaking of which, I will be selling the razor and was wondering: should I remove the burr or just warn whomever buys it and let them reside if they want to remove it?

List it as ( not shave ready ), that should do it
