No scar collection is complete until you've accidentally shot yourself with a nail gun. Which interestingly enough, barely hurts at all. Pulling the nail back out however.......Quote:

Although if we are comparing "non" razor related scars, i think my g\f would win this one. she has a 24" (give or take) scar from under her navel to around her back and ends just below her neck from a spinal fusion...
I can't match your GF's scar, though I did run a panel saw through my left thumb down through the nail when I was a kid. That kinda smarted. I still have that saw, too. I do have a scar under my chin from where I was hit by the spinning handle on a clothes line (Hills Hoist) when I was a kid as well. That one knowced my out cold, apparently.
I have done this too! LOL. When i used to build fences i was standing on the back side of a fence post and holding up one of the rails while using a framing nailer to afix it to the post. The nail missed the post an went through the 2"x4" and right into my stomach. Thank god the 2"x4" slowed it down or it might have been really nasty. I think my IQ was running in the 60's or something that day. Since then i have altered my technique when playing with nail guns.Quote:

Just gotta be careful and pay attention and you won't get too many.
Don't be skeered... like EVERYTHING guys do there is SOME amount of danger. Had a Navy buddy who I went fly fishing with and some how the git managed to hook himself in the beans (we were fly fishing for northern pike so the streamer hooks were PRETTY big).. Needless to say when I got him to Medical and they asked how it happened, he had the most embarrassed look on his face and I just took one and said I didn't see him behind me. Just make sure when you are near those Blood hoses down the side of your neck to pay VERY close attention.. I don't even breath when i run a pass there.Quote:

The best (true) story I can manage is from my Dad. He was a carpet layer. One day he was out fixing masonite sheet to a concrete floor preping it to lay some vinyl when his concentration lapsed and he "fixed" his thumb to the floor with the masonry staple gun he was using. Being now somewhat limited in his range movement he called out to the owner (the lady of the house) so she could pass him simething to get the staple out of the concrete floor and free himself. She came into the room, saw the spreading blood stain on the floor around his hand and fainted. Dad had to wait till she came to so he could ask her to pass him a screwdriver.

i was working building signs for the casino industry.... i was inside of a 8'tall 22'long and 24"deep sign welding in ladder rungs for service purposes... *(this sign was to be outside)....... when i finished i climbed up and was climbing out with my welding hood still on but in the up position......... as i lifted myself over the side and was searching with my feet for a step the back of both of my legs hit a hot spot.... thereby making my jump which made BOTH my feet shoot back through the opening and i started falling forward .... i am a big guy *(6'3" and ~230# not fat) so i started to fall... i grabbed the edge behind me that had just been covered with .040 aluminum.... it sliced both my palms all the way across... my welding hood fell over my face.... i fell 8' on top of a 55 gallon trash drum..... scraping the skin off my right arm from the wrist to the shoulder.........
i swear it took me 5 mins to hit the ground...... i jumped up... tore off the hood.... picked up the trash can and threw it ~40 feet where it knocked the shop door off the hinges........
then i stopped and looked around at my 5 co-workers looking at me like i was crazy.....
then my buddy clint took me to the ER where i got 23 stitches in the right and 31 stitches in the left hand.......
i wish i had video of this.......
I cut myself today, high on the cheek, with a heavy half hollow Sheffield. Actually, it was recently honed and shaved like butter.
When using this heavy razor, a small change to the angle of attack to the skin and the cut is done. I have never cut myself with my lighter full hollows. Only with this one and the kamisori.
At least, I will not have to answer any questions to people tomorrow thanks to the mandatory anti-covid face mask that we have to wear.
I got shot in the leg by a kid with a 22 air rifle when i was a kid. He said that if i didn't tell i could have a go of his gun,Quote:

About 10 years ago I was doing some remodeling of my house in Elliot Lake.
I had my table saw running after cutting some wood and reached over for the off switch. When i touched that spinning rip blade with my finger, I screamed so loud that my missus came running out, as did the neighbors on both sides.
14 stitches later i was back home. I could say i was brave but it would be a lie, while I was being stitched up i was crying like a baby. Not nice little tears but big ugly sobs with snot and everything, and I was numbed so I couldn't feel anything anyway.
Watch the area right below the nose! I was laying the blade (carefully i thought) to shave my upper lip, and nicked one of the vertical ridges just below my nose. Like to never have staunched the blood flow. Was about to head to the doc for a stitch, but finally managed to seal it with super glue after about an hour of trying. Lesson learned, and needless to say that area commands extra attention.

I wish you to heal soon. And yes, you are right, that point below the nose is very dangerous and requires extra attention. The blade cannot touch the skin in the right angle and you have to start with the razor perpendicular to the skin. I am always trying to touch the skin as light as possible at that point.Quote:

I also have a moustache to avoid the problem. I haven't ever tried to shave my top lip, I trim my moustache right under my nose with an electric beard trimmer and I've even made the skin between my nostrils bleed with that!!Quote:

Done that one a few times, when not paying attention to where that square point was.
Yea, forgot the earlobes and I've nicked them a few times too.
Bob
I 've nicked in the earlobes too.
When straight shaving, speed is not our friend.
