Hey-

I am very happy to have found this fascinating web forum. I am about to take my baby steps into the world of SRB shaving.

As I have been discussing this interest with the wife, a reasonable question arose for this community:

What has been the worst accident / event you have endured as a straight razor shaving enthusiast?

Any of you have any visible scars from this activity? Anyone have to rush to an emergency room? Anyone have to undergo cosmetic surgery to undue any harm done?

I just wanted to know the worst case stakes at hand before I start putting a razor to my face.

Am very interested in hearing your stories and second or third hand anecdotes.

Thanks!

Seth
