Thread: I keep cutting myself with one of my razors

It was bought new and honed by Lynn so i sincerley doubt that the blade has any issues, just somehow no matter how slow i take it she bites me! nothing major, but still annoying.

I am fully aware that the razor can preform amazingly, it is my lack of talent with it that cause's my issue! I accept it and look forward to the dance with her every week.

My own experience is that I get more cuts from the heavier blades. I honestly think it's momentum. With the mass behind an edge that sharp, if you can't stop it as quickly as you're used to stopping lighter blades, it can dig in even as you're reacting to stop it.
