Thread: How often do you cut yourself? Be Honest...

Almost never. An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.

Ah! That old sig line is back!

in the year since I have been shaving. Two actual cuts. Once was new guy mistake. The other when a door was opened into my arm. Many nics along the way, but those are few and far between now.

So far after 3 1/2 years my worst cut was also on my thumb, I thought I might need stitches

Once, I would call a cut. 1/16 inch. left a scar! Nicks, three times a year? Always at the jawline. Seems they come as I am doing no-no's, to be honest. another swipe of lather is recommended before going back over a spot! One will learn the connection between the face and hand is a fast one. I think we all learn when to back off. Right before the skin breaks! JMHO . To answer, one needs a styptic pencil or a few stitches!

I cut myself on occasion, although now it is pretty rare. I gave myself a nick under my nose just this morning trying to get really close as my stache seems to be 'traveling" more and more north!

About half a year ago I sliced my face pretty bad. Since then nothing yet. Crossing my fingers.
