An alternative method is to in step 7 insert a small screwdriver into the hole in the front shell where the power light goes through and push off the screen enough to pry it off with your hands. Thereby avoiding this razor-near-the-screen business. You will also most likely need some alcohol (or similar) to loosen the residue leftover from the old screen.
Yes that's true! I've seen repair videos where they do it the way you mentioned, much less of a headache
