    I found myself dropping and dinging my razor a lot more when I started. I think it was because I was over thinking things and 'not wanting to drop the razor and/or cut myself'

    These days I'm careful as always, but due to practice I generally don't do too much damage thankfully

    Have you thought of using a wrist strap/lanyard?

    [QUOTE=Havachat45;957951]No need for a dunce hat IMHO
    I have a theory with two options
    1 are you being too tentative while handling your razor allowing it to slip from your grasp?, or
    2 are you being over confident when moving the razor around which allows ot to come into contact with things it shouldn't?
    I was recently guilty of the second one when I cut just below the fingernails on two fingers while in a hurry.
    Bled like a ba$^#rd for ages.
    Just something to think about FWIW[/QUOTE

    I think its from trying to be to careful..

    The only issue I could see with this method is that it may swing into parts of you that you don't want it too.
    I dropped a blade in the workshop once and tried to catch it with my foot so it wouldn't hit the concrete floor - can anyone see the obvious fault with this idea?
    Yes I was barefoot

    I have dropped the same razor twice, neither time resulting in any damage or need to re hone. Since then I have purchased a memory foam bath mat from bed bath and beyond just in case my luck runs out, which normally it does lol
