The number of guys I see using a standard razor blade to clean up silicone on a shower door instead of a proper silicone shaper is honestly baffling.

I watched a new guy at the shop yesterday spend 20 minutes trying to get a clean bead on a frameless unit, and the result looked like a kindergartner's art project, which matters because a bad seal means callbacks and water damage down the road.

Ngl, seeing a "kindergartner's art project" seal is way too common. Rileyfox is right about the laziness, because I've had to fix so many botched DIY jobs where they hacked at it with a blade. It just creates more work and a worse result every single time.

Honestly, it's just pure laziness. A proper tool is like five bucks and saves so much time and hassle.
