Introduction to Blade Eye Wash

Knife eyewash is an ancient skill, which involves inserting a sharp blade into the eye and drawing it against the eyeball. Use a round iron rod to sweep back and forth in your eyes. The customer lay down and did not dare to move. When washing his eyes, the master used his fingers to open the upper and lower eyelids of the customer's left eye and fix it, and then used a razor blade to sweep back and forth across the upper and lower eyelids, drawing the blade close to the eyeball. The blade has three functions: shaving the head, shaving the face, and washing the eyes. The small round iron stick is used repeatedly by everyone, and is only soaked in alcohol at night, so the hygienic condition cannot be guaranteed. This skill has been passed down for generations in Chengdu, Sichuan and is on the verge of being lost.
