Don't:
Go fast
Lose focus
Shave dry patches
Try to do too much in your first shaves
Try to grab a falling blade
You will do all of these things and when you do you will receive a lesson.Attachment 176086

Steve,
Words of wisdom. Thank you.
Dont: shave after a few too many beers...
Confucius say: man who try and catch falling blade need to concern himself with falling anatomy.
Yeahhhh, buffer grabbed one so I grabbed it; well at it...looked down, it was just sitting there lodged in the side of my thumb. Look ma no hands!
Can you be more specific? :)Quote:

Lesson learnt! :beer2:Quote:

Don't shave naked
I Don't wanna learn that leasson for myself & hope no one else has had to either.
Don't shave while your girlfriend is trying to have a conversation with you. Love hurts…and sometimes bleeds.
At least you rescued the razor!Quote:

It will always end in tears & blood, your mates in tears laughing and me with a tissue to my face stemming the blood......
"Hey! Watch this!" almost always ends in injury, an America's Funniest Home Videos vid, an appearance in a "Fails" compilation, a visit to your friendly Emergency Department, or all of the above!Quote:

Don't be afraid to shave dry.
Don't be afraid to shave without a mirror.
Never shave rushed.
When in doubt, STOP! --No dishonor in going to the DE or a cartridge, if you must.
Nooo. Crackers, you're supposed to convince someone else that you'll give them a fine shave!
Don't listen to everybody on the forum...just the ones that are right.
I believe the correct famous last words are: "Hey! Hold my beer and watch this!"....Quote:

Planning can prevent blood loss and ruining your razor.
I actually shave better without a mirror. Having a mirror in front of me gets me confused especially on my left side.Quote:

Don't try to do too much, too fast. Take your time.
Don't shave with a dull razor. You will press too hard and make too many passes.
Its pretty safe if you have a big belly.Quote:
