Just before putting the bread in the oven, the baker slashes each loaf with a razor blade. I have been using a single-edged blade, but it hasn’t been working very well. Professional bakers use what is called a lamè. It is a double-edged blade on a wooden stick. Well, I sent William to the store for the blades; meanwhile, I went searching for something to make the handle. Success! Several years ago, I had hammered flat some copper wire. Didn’t really have any use for it except as a bookmark. Guess what? Its dimensions are perfect for holding a razor blade and slashing bread.
make it happen!
