Yep, you'ld have to treat them just like hand razors... Katana's are
so nice... Although I still love giving Torgo Stun Gloves instead.

Yeah, he'ld be a very tough customer but there are alot more cost effective
ways of taking out challenges.
A minimum of 21 nuyen for a 12/6 runner who is immune to his first death
(but returned to the Safehouse) in 7 cards.
And the maximum a challenge (with out objective/integrated control center
bonuses) is 13.
Skwaaark with 2 hand razors is easier to get out, but can't use the
doc-wagon. Also Flatline can quickly become nastier for less nuyen
and one less card.
Personally I'ld take my chances with Lord Torgo and Stun gloves. :)
