Thread: Bloodied

You've ony nicked the one side?!...And only the once?!...Oh but wait, there will be more...You'll see.

Oh and Jimbo James, I've caught my ear jewellery more times than I care to remember with a DE, and have had to hone out a small ding or three in my CT's...Must be working just like you said it would ...

Aye Mick - ear jewellery does the trick allright, but yes it can ding your edges. On the bright side though, each of those dings would perhaps have been a nasty earlobe scratch otherwise. Not that it matters to this younger generation - have you seen what they are willingly doing to their earlobes lately? Some of them would probably happily slice the old lobes I wouldn't wonder.

James.

Yes, James I have...And they ain't no Masai warriors as far as I can see...Bloody silly kids...Or even silly fashions.

As long as you're not beaten and bloodied you'll be fine All part of the learning curve, and helps you to be sure and pay attention..lol.

After a year and a half I have never nicked my ear.

I get an occasional nick here and there. Less when the Razor is nice and sharp. I just don't let it concern me... Stiptic works just fine.

You just ain't trying hard enough then! I've done both ears twice each. I didn't try to do it, it just happened. Lack of diligence is my poor excuse. I even got one of those nicks on the inside of the upper edge...Maybe I just got big ears though...

Well just did it myself today because I was excited to try out my alum block that just arrived in the mail.
lol.

After a month and a half of str8 shaving, I manage to cut my self good on the mustache area. It happen when I was doing ATG pass with a dull razor and switch to a sharp one. I was using greater angle and more pressure with the dull and apparently my brain (even thou I thought about it) muscle coordination kept more pressure and angle than necessary.

It bleated like a stuff pig. After controlling the bleeding I manage to finish the shave (one of the closest ever yet) and then tended to the battle wound. I think its going to leave a mark! Double O
