    Default FARKING DENTS!!!

    Yes I just spent the last hour on a 320 diamond plate trying to get a dent out of an edge... I went threw 3 tapes trying to get it out... Ok so my 320 DMT is warn in (and almost out) so it doesn't cut as fast as it used to, but it also doesn't dig deep grooves in the edges.

    I would rather deal a serrated edge over a frigging DENT!!! The 6/8 is probably a 5/8 now but that bugger is gone, polished and awaiting it's turn to shave... I now have a backlog of razors awaiting a shave test... I may just have to resort to the "One on the right and One on the left" method...

    Yeah, I feel your pain! I had a W&B with a pretty small chip in the edge and it took ages to work out.

    I reckon that might be the best way to test shave them, use a different razor for each bit of your face. A Presidential shave, except you're using 100 razors instead of 100 pens..!

    That happened to one of my heirloom pieces that hit my mini anvil. It did two things, chipped the edge and the surrounding metal was pushed over to one side. Thankfully, it honed out in an afternoon. Imagine my horror when it happened to my great-granddad's razor!

    Hope it wasn't one of the razors you picked up the other day...or was it from the lot that you were expecting?
