I got a new blade, a nice Wade and Butcher notch point, and decided to try it out. I was doing fine until I decided to clean up around my beard with the heal and was not paying much attention to the toe. I now have a new scar to prove that not paying attention can be painful. After I was done with the shave I decided to really look at my new blade, that is when I discovered that the toe had been sharpened all the way around to the notch. I have a liking for notch points and this was the first that I had found sharp to the notch. So watch your toes they can be sharp when you don't expect it.
As an aside to the above note, the cut bled out pretty freely but not bad. The skin would open a bit when I moved my head so I got out my thin CA (super glue) and applied a very small drop in the wound and sealed it up. I followed that with some lotion over the cut that night and after 48 hours the wound is sealed and I can shave over it if I needed ( working in my shop does not require daily shaving).
If you don't use CA but want to give it a go sometime (I am not be required to shave but I certainly slice myself up sometimes), go to a hobby store and buy the thin stuff. Don't mess with the thicker grocery store type, it doesn't seal the wound as well and tends to be a painful mess.
