This is just not true. We do it all the time without causing all the damage you have.
If you want to do so to your razors go right ahead, but the problem with writing this, is some pore new guy will read this thread and believe you and you don’t know what you are talking about.
A couple pieces of tape and proper hones could have easily honed the razor and maintained the proper geometry and caused no damage.
