Tips for fairly severe cut while shaving...
Hey all. So I have been using a DE for a while and got my new DOVO Bismarck from Lynn & Don. Saturday I decided to take my time and do a full prep and try my first Str8 shave.
First stroke was a disaster. Laid the blade to my right cheek and it started to pull I ended up slicing a nice gash with the tip about an inch long. OUCH!!!!:banghead: Started to bleed like I was shot in the head. Shave was over as it was bleeding quite profusely. It was a typical razor cut (nice flap that fits right back into place) just deeper. I used pressure, Alum, styptic pencil and was about to resort to Super Glue when it started to abate. I have been treating it with Hydrogen Peroxide and Polysporin.
I did a search on cut, slice (you can imagine the plethora of hits this would return on a shaving aficionado site :) ) to no avail and I believe this wound was a bit worse than a "Nick".
So any tips for the amateur plastic surgeons like me out there?
