I’ve always heard dull blades are the most dangerous, but whenever I nick myself shaving my legs it’s always with a new blade. Does the dull blade thing only apply to kitchen knives and not razors?

To be honest I think this saying isn’t backed by any facts or research.

I’ve been cooking a long time, with a lot of knives. And I’ve only ever given myself a serious cut with razor sharp fancy knives.

Sure they take less effort to cut your food, but they also go through your flesh like butter as well.
