    Default Has anyone landed in the ER for a SR cut?

    I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a cut deep or large enough to need a trip to the closest emergency room.

    Not likely. The size of the nicks one gets are only the type you would get from a modern razor. If anybody has ended up in the ER, it was from handling the razor poorly rather than shaving with it.

    i've driven an 11inch chef's knife through the palm of my hand.. but never cut myself shaving anything worse than a small nick.

    About the 5th shave I cut myself on the right side of the corner of my mouth and though I didn't have to go to the emergency room it took probably about 20 minutes of big time pressure to stop the bleeding. It left a nice scar to remind be to be more careful.

    Yes, I have....

    From handling a razor poorly as Red put it...

    A split second of inattention and I had a slice to the bone on the top of my thumb, 5 stitches to close it up...

    I have had three pretty good cuts from restoring/honing razors only the one on the thumb required stitches....

    Hi,

    Not to sound smart, but there has to be a story behind the chef's knife. Did you fall on it or something?

    I've only had a few nicks with my razor so far, none the last 3 shaves, knock on wood.

    When I do cut myself it is usually from inattention more than anything and usually not so bad. Most of that is from hand sanding.

    i was working in an open kitchen where customers can look over and watch you cook.. a bubbly brunette started talking to me and said something that took my attention away.. for some odd reason i tried to slice open a bagel while it was still in my hand instead of placing in flat on the board.. all while using the wrong knife and not even looking at what i was doing.. i severed 3 tendons and caused some serious nerve damage.

    Please tell me you at least got her number on your way to the ER.
