Thread: First major cut -- on my thumb!

I've been there too. Clumsy when changing razor hands... my right ring finger took the hit. No pain, just the sudden appearance of blood.

Boy was that a clean cut. Didn't hurt, and after the bleeding stopped with a double layer of tight plasters it healed up pretty quick too.

Moral of the story: even when it's not sharp enough to cut hair (see other threads on my less than sharp razor) it's still plenty sharp enough to cut skin.

It does happen when you don't pay attention. Cut the tip of my left ring finger with a wedge. Seem like it bled for an hour. Lucky I had some super glue in the bathroom drawer.

I hear you, just last night I sliced my left index finger open. Still not exactly sure how it happened.

Sorry to hear about all the injuries that people have had but it is nice to see, in a way, that this was not an uncommon happening.

I'm a lot more aware now of exactly what is going on with my fingers and hands: during stropping, during shaving, when opening and closing, and generally picking up and putting down the razor.
