I love my Agbay. It saves so much time and every cake is level! (I purchased the double blade)
I use the Agbay the way it is recommended: The blades facing away from you. I try to be conscious of where my hands are in relationship to the blades each time I use it. Just remember to respect not fear the blades and I think you will love it too!
Good Luck!
