Not so far! (touch wood)
The worst I got was from a razor I was cleaning with MAAS. I caught the end of my thumb and it took about 45 minutes to stop the bleeding. In the end I glued the cut shut with superglue..!

Has anyone landed in the ER for a SR cut?
Not yet. But I've had to use my knowledge from the Basic Medic Course and superglue once.
Not while shaving though...

Not yet, but I have a good related story about three boys who were born as a result of a serious wound. No, seriously!
About 20 years ago, a good friend of mine who was/is a fine custom woodworker was doing something with one of those Japanese hand saws in his basement woodshop when he cut the fleshy part of his palm very deeply. As he roomed in a cruddy old house sort of commune style with several others, his best friend/roomie took him to the ER, where a rather comely young woman was also waiting on someone she'd brought in. Long story short, they hit it off, and soon she was one of the "roomies." They got married, and had three sons, all because his friend got cut. This story always amazes me in the way it captures the utter serendipitous nature of the lives we try to carefully plan...There are many roads to sharp.

Ha ha.. I'm actually stocking my shop with clotting agent (granules) and wound dressings with clotting agent in them like the combat bandages/sponges. But this is more for shop work. I've never had a really bad cut shaving, but the shop can be bad with all of the table saw-buffer- etc can really make for a bad injury Originally Posted by deighaingeal

In the late 1800's in England, when police weren't as thorough as we would expect from police of today, there were reported to be a large number of women who 'committed suicide by cutting their throat with their husband's straight razor'.
I'm sure they would have needed emergency help.
