Lesson of the day: Framebacks do not have a stabiliser.

[FrenchBlade]

I just got my frameback from Neil today (together with the Spartacus, and the Cador Diamant from Andy)

Not being used to framebacks, I was sort of expecting my pinky so slide against the stabiliser/heel of the blade.. instead it slid across the edge of the blade..
Well, this blade is super sharp, Neil warned be about it.. well I'm now warned After cleaning up the blood (which was not negligible) I went back to finish my shave.

Pics of my pinky after it stopped bleeding. (this was the second plaster, and 1 packet of gauze later & 20 minutes)

And todays lesson: "Framebacks do not have a stabiliser"

"'tis but a scratch!!"

Seriously, OUCH! It's the bleeding and it's seeming reluctance to stop that gets you worried. I caught the top of my index finger over Christmas, and if it wasn't for my fingernail it would have been MUCH worse.

In all honestly Max..thats why I LOVED the LOOK of em..but NOT how they looked in the hands of even the most experienced..even they had slight nicks n cuts nowhere near their face..but I wish you "shaving" luck with your razor... :mrgreen:

No pain though

Nice clean cut Max. At least it's not on a part of your finger that flexes or comes in to contact. Shouldn't be too debilitating.
