Thread: Tips for fairly severe cut while shaving...

Sorry to hear about that. You'll probably only do that once, that's a positive way of looking at it. Know where the entire edge of the blade is and the blade's angle to your face at all times before, during and after each pass.

As long as it didn't slice right through your cheek, I don't see anything else you could do that you already haven't. Razor cuts are such clean cuts that they heal surprisingly quickly.

Also, I don't know how well you cleaned and dried the blade afterward, but blood is very hard on fine edges. Mike Blue, a knowledgeable member here once said that surgeons swap out scalpels after making cuts only a handful of inches in length because the scalpel's edge is compromised in seconds.
