Do you folks find that you're more likely to experience unanticipated cuts with a freshly honed, super-sharp razor, or a razor that's starting to dull up a bit?
Sharp. Once in a while, a freshly honed razor will surprise me. An edge that has worn a bit never cuts me. However, shaving with a not so sharp razor will spoil me and make me careless, setting me up for a gotcha from a really sharp one.
A super-sharp razor will never cut you, because you can really use zero pressure. And zero pressure doesn't cut you, it only cuts your beard.
It's when you start to use pressure the cuts & nicks shows up IMO. And with dullness comes pressure..
