Don't ask me how I know this coz I don't want to have to lie to keep face LOLbut I have it from a very reliable source that it is true and will happen in the blink of an eye.

I haven't done much buffing, but 'vice like' is a good description of the grip I used. Thankfully I haven't had that happen yet.

Now I only handle one at a time......

Haven't had that problem (carrying a lot of razors around), but I will definitely remember that.
