Today I picked up my King Cutter and the first stroke on the strop left a scratch. What the hell? I looked closely at the edge and saw a tiny glint at one point. Couple of more strokes and two more scratches.

I got out the 40x loop and saw a very small chip. How in the hell did that happen?

I set the razor down and grabbed my other Boker. I was now in a hurry. Just as I was finishing up and went to rinse the blade I bumped the edge on the faucet. I couldn't see any damage so I finished the shave then looked with the loop. Sure enough there was a small dimple in the edge.

I remember being in a hurry two days ago when I last used the King. So I need to slow down or use a different method of wiping off the lather.

Two blades to touch up this weekend. Sigh.
