Thread: Can't say I wasn't warned

Sorry for your lose!

I learned my lesson early and got lucky too. First buffing job was a small wedge; wheel caught it, jerked it out of my hand and stuck the blade into the insulation in the wall.....didn't hurt the blade, like I said, got lucky!

Eeeks! I never found the piece the was ripped off. It's also worth noting that even if it didn't break off, it could have caused a fracture that showed up later. Sad to see a nice blade go. Learning curves happen, I guess. Still, I mourn for the old soldier. [emoji6]

pressure is probably the most important part of buffing. Easy does it.

Wait till you drop one on what you think is a rubber mat & it finds the only bare concrete on the floor.

Sad to see the results but the positive is no bodily damage and no loss of eyes.

Just post the images on Ebay and describe as edge just needs honing and a new set of scales for the restorer.

you are lucky man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it must be like mainaman said!!!!!!

It happens to everybody. I had a nice Wade Butcher in my hand for 15 minutes before it broke. Last time I ever used a Dremel on a razor. Buffing is the most dangerous thing we do on a razor. You need to remain aware every second you are buffing.
