A simple trick to make sure you don't touch the edge.

Great trick!

Great trick!

Thanks, Carl !
Problem is, if you touch the edge, after sharpening the damage out of it, you probably may start all over again with shortening the fingerguard. Has happened me far too often.

Same here

Great tip. I once touched the edge a couple times by accident and it's evident how quickly a thin apex can melt away.
