Thread: cut myself bad today

So today i was sanding a razor and for a moment i lost focus and wouldn't you know it i cut myself! I was so upset with myself and now i am out of the game for 2 weeks! I slipped and put it right into my right thumb! After cleaning it up i looked at it and decided i needed help, i went to the doc and had 5 stitches put in So to anyone out there that is rushing a job please just slow down and take your time, it is worth it!

Huh no pic?

No pic...it didn't happen....

Yes. Pics or it didn't happen

We've all been there. Well, most of us

My hand twitched when i read this. Heal well.

Gotta have a pic, and here's a good place to post it. The thread needs a bump anyway.

Damn it! I did something similar but not with a razor last sat. A mandolin slicer took some of my right thumb. Now have a flat spot which actually makes holding a guitar pick interesting.

Keep it clean and good luck.

Hate to hear this. But I understand there are only two kinds straight razor users - those who already got cut and those who will.

Doctor?!?!? Dude, use Crazy Glue (CA). Clean and dry it, hold it together to temporarily stop the bleeders and apply a bead of CA. Continue the pressure and after that first one dries apply a wider one and put on a bandaid. As a "wandering mind" of the 1st degree unfortunately I've gotten dozens of nasty finger slices sanding blades - all patched up with CA and no ER visits yet.

Also, you gotta post a pic! It makes the rest of us feel better in some twisted way, and also gives you a reference to see how badly the next slice compares. Though, it's probably best to just pay close attention when handling blades.

Funny , I hear about it and my muscles tighten up and well, you know the feeling. But when it happens I just think, " crap now I got to stop and put a band aid on and clean up the mess." Luckily I have not had more than 8 stitches and that was from fun not work. Be careful when you have fun !
