That $40 bread lame was a total dud, my scoring cratered

Bought one of those fancy curved lames last month and my baguettes looked like I attacked them with a butter knife. Switched back to my old straight razor blade taped to a chopstick and got the ears back on the first try. Anyone else find fancy gear makes things worse?

Did you catch that piece on the Fresh Loaf about how most bakers ditch their fancy tools after a few months? I swear, the simpler the gear, the better the crust.
