I've discovered using the Ralf Aust hollow grind is more dangerous than using the vintage Mappin & Webb near wedge. During my shave today with the Aust, I was being careful, but that edge is just so danged sharp that if it hits the skin at too steep an angle (and it doesn't have to be all that steep), it's going in. Now, it wasn't a deep cut, but where the blade touches, there is a raised red line. It bled a little bit but stopped before I was done with the shave. I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid to use this razor. I still have two visible lines healing up from two weeks ago. I'll have to start going by Scarface.
Is there a trick to using a hollow grind?
