Thread: Nick on the bridge of the nose!!

Unbelievable..... I managed to touch the bridge of my nose with the blade edge while shaving tonite. I reach across with my right hand, and don't ask me how, but I managed to just touch the bridge of my nose with the edge of the blade during a reach while I was trying to see what I was doing in the mirror.

Just enough to cause a little drop of blood to form, with a tiny line showing the path of the razor.

unbelievable. really.

Thanks for the evening chuckle. Certain we've all done something similarly silly.

You did share a great reminder though. Always respect the blade, mindful where it is. Even if you need to simply scratch yourself, put the razor down first.

Mike,
You may need a medieval chain-mail balaclava that covers all the bits you don't want to cut....hehehe
I think we've all lost track of the blade at some stage - BE CAREFUL!!!
Just for the record, I have a lovely nick just under the middle of my nose from my 4/8 Grah's magnetic that I used today.
I think the new strop is working - didn't even feel it

I was told to watch the blade at all times...I have let that attention lapse too and ended up cutting a forefinger and didn't know how the blade got from point A to point B.

I agree, thanks for the chuckle though!

This = Win.

they can be sneaky little devils, our blades, but this tops any injury i have ever managed to do myself.

I guess everybody deserves to have one unique talent. Not to laugh at your pain, but that is an interesting one and must be fun to explain to others.

"oh, I cut myself while shaving..."

Good thing it got your nose & not your eye.
I'm always afraid I'm gonna slice up my earlobe.

you just get used to it...

Gentlemen:

The straight razor is a sassy beauty with sparkling teeth and explosive temper, and if you forget your place in her presence, she will remind you.

At one time or another I've probably cut most of my fingers and my hands while using a razor. I learned early on to always be aware of where the blade is in relation to ones appendages. It's like flying an airplane. One seconds loss of focus and you're in big trouble.
