Sorry 'bout what happened there mate; but I think it is part of the learning process... You may cut yourself by being stressed, overconfident, hurried, and so I've heard, drunk (which, I must say, has never and, I hope, will never happen to me). Just gotta take it slow the first times... never put much pressure on the blade or try to pass it over difficult areas without being careful.
Reminds me of a cut I got a couple of weeks ago... it was about 2cm long, just under the nose (yep, extremely bad technique there - working on that).
Oh, and btw, a styptic or alum block may help a lot for those accidents.
Well, better luck on your next shaves mate... Work on that hand steadiness

Welcome to the club. After slicing up my chin, everybody seems to say the chin is a real problem area, I now use an electric on my chin before I start shaving. Once I get the rest of it down, I'll come back and carefully work on the chin.
Right now I'm in the process of slowly slicing away my adam's apple. Another couple of weeks and it will be gone.

Now there's a technique I had not considered - slice away everything that gets in the way of a good shave.

Yeah... I guess I could have cropped the picture a little more. Be thankful that I cropped out the nose hair! Originally Posted by ethermantis
