No need for a dunce hat IMHO
I have a theory with two options
1 are you being too tentative while handling your razor allowing it to slip from your grasp?, or
2 are you being over confident when moving the razor around which allows ot to come into contact with things it shouldn't?
I was recently guilty of the second one when I cut just below the fingernails on two fingers while in a hurry.
Bled like a ba$^#rd for ages.
Just something to think about FWIWLast edited by Havachat45; 04-25-2012 at 01:30 PM.

For those of us getting long in tooth and those already there we know holding on to things can be problematical. I always keep that in mind when I handle any shaving gear these days.

I found myself dropping and dinging my razor a lot more when I started. I think it was because I was over thinking things and 'not wanting to drop the razor and/or cut myself'
These days I'm careful as always, but due to practice I generally don't do too much damage thankfully
