    Dull the razors. Lay a drinking glass or glass jar on its side, gently place the heel of the blade against the glass and draw it back along the entire length of the blade using only the weight of the blade. Do a thumb test to confirm the edge is dull. If not, then repeat it until you are satisfied that it is sufficiently dull.

    Edit: To clarify the positioning of the blade, imagine that you are going to cut the glass in half so that it will only hold half the water that it did before. You will be placing the blade tangentially to the curvature of the glass.
