If you watch Glen's )(GSSISGUN'S) video on Bread Knifing an edge; he has a disclaimer that you can't blame him for not being able to get your razor sharp after following his video on how to Properly Bread Knife a razor to correct a problem.

I would simply recommend that the OP just be very careful of the edge as even an edge that won't cut hair will easily cut flesh.
Agree with Cudarunner here. Just put some tape on the cutting edge and be careful around it. There is no need to rip up the cutting edge by grinding it down on a stone.
