I was near that accident several times so I decide to secure my ladies with putting the towel on the side of sink to wipe the lather out. The towel I use at the pre-shave preparation.
Double profit - 'coz we have hard water in here and if I rinse the lather some scurf (if I translate it correct) appears on the blade.

You know what? I always put a dry towel down on the sink's edge too! But I either had removed it towards the end, or it high a spot that the towel wasn't on... Maybe I should use a hand towel, instead of a face towel since it's a bit bigger...

My shaving den is very small so I use small hand towels for shaving routine. I use from 2 to 4 in one shave:
1st To prepare face and then I fold it and put on the sink to wipe
2nd To clean and re-warm the face between the passes
3rd is dry and I hang it on my shoulder to wipe the fingers to stretch the skin
4th goes in game if I loose any of previous.

Wife is not very lucky about it but still love my STR8 shaves 8-)

I use two. One for hot towel, I'll use that one twice. The 2nd is for my sink.

If it is big enough it can be also problem of visible control. I mean if something distracting appears in your visible range - big fold of towel, long hanging end of the towel, bright color thing - your mind marks it like obstacle and command your body to avoid it.
So your movement ability will be confined and your shave will be uncomfortable.

Very interesting point. That's definitely not an issue for me though. My towels are white or a dark brown anyways.

I did the same to my razor. Sent it out for a fixin and came back good as new. Good news is I bet you never do it again!
