Man! You did a good job of that!

You can use glue-like substances to close wounds. Dermabond is the only one I've had experience with, but I'm sure there are others. Basically you pull the edges of the wound together and glue over the top. You definitely don't put any inside the wound.
You gotta be careful though, because you can easily glue yourself to patients :nono:
It probably wouldn't be much use in this case anyway, cause if there's a chunk missing there won't be nice straight edges to oppose.

As always, don't try this at home ;)
Well... on the brightside i found an excuse to buy the norton starter kit :)
On the not so bright side, i have no idea how to deal with this thing. Just going to keep putting gauze w/ antibiotic on it.
Superglue works great for sealing wounds, as long as it's not at a flex point. You can get glue inside of a shallow cut (i.e. not a stab wound) without a problem, since the new tissue grows underneath the superglue it will be pushed out as it heals.
HA, what a good idea... maybe I'll have somebody tattoo a nose and some eyes on it..:roflmao
And you can get a product called Nu-skin (I think that's right) that is like a superglue. It lets you basically put a clear protective glue layer over your wound..won't close it but it will protect it.
Oh my god....Those are some nasty cuts, especially the "chunk" cut out of Slartibartfast's finger!!!
I've only dropped a razor once, but luckily it wasn't opened all the way and when it hit the ground it fell on the spine, so it was fine...
I was always told by my mom to NEVER catch a falling knife, just let it fall. Your hand is more important than the knife. So I think this holds even more true with a razor, since it can clearly do a lot of damage to your skin.

BTW be careful with superglue on cuts, I'm sure I read there are different types and only one is "medical grade".
Looking better. No bleeding when i removed the gauze at lunch, so i cleaned and applied New Skin. fyi, New Skin burns a lot.
Then another layer of new skin, followed by a bandage. Typing is a bit easier now and things are looking up :)
