A trick someone expressed, not sure who, where or when I read this, was to break the double edge razor in half lengthwise and tape (masking or duct) the broken edge also lengthwise. This gives you somethin to grip onto and is a lot safer for your fingers. Let me tell you there's nothing tasty looking about a muddler minnow with a blood stained nose. Especially when the blood is yours.
