Straight razor shaving and puppies don't mix well.
Being brand new to straight razor shaving, I'm learning many new things each and every day. Yesterday I was shaving with my beautiful new to me straight razor. My wife knew I was getting ready to shave because I had just gotten out of the shower and told her so. Anyways, I didn't close the door, and while running the razor effortlessly from the bottom of my ear towards my throat, our 12 week old black lab came running into the bathroom for me to play with him. After running in he jumped up and into my leg; it was at this moment that I took a nice dig into the side of my neck just as effortlessly as if I were cutting hair (as opposed to flesh). It bled for about 10 minutes; styptic pencil, toilet paper, direct pressure check and re-apply about 5 or 6 times. Anyways, though I thought my wife had the puppy and would keep him out of the bathroom, it's my fault and the lesson I learned is to always SHUT THE DOOR! Lucky for me the price I paid for that particular lesson was not as expensive as it really could have been.
