While trying to get a blade to fit correctly into my autostrop I slipped a d cut off the tip of my finger. not too much didnt hit bone or anything but lots of blood. Its hard to type with just a left hand so please excuse errors. So basically i will be growing a beard for a bit as there is noway I can use my right hand or will let my left anywhere near a razor.
Lets see a pic! Prob nothing a bit of glue and tape can't fix!
Careful bro!
I still haven't tried one so heal up and give it a go again. I'm waiting to hear about the perfect shave from that monster.
Your finger will heal but you wrecked the blade!:(
:D
You forgot to mention the bubble gum and bailing wire.................Quote:

I Feel your pain bro.
BTW, I forgot to say "Sorry to hear of your injury! Hope your finger heals in a hurry"
Hang in there my friend. It will heal and you will be back to shaving. Stay well and safe.
Yikes..Bad news..I hope you heal fast.
I did that with a kitchen mandolin slicing cucumbers several years ago. I still get twinges at the end of the finger when I think about it — like right now! It must sting - there are a lot of nerve endings there.
no pics.Quote:

My thoughts exactly, avoid the ER if you can.
I sliced my index finger 5 years ago when cleaning between the scales of a beautiful gilded heljestrand with a q-tip. I sold that cursed razor.
I went to the ER and triage told me I needed stitches. 8 hours later, the Doctor tells me that I won’t be needing stitches as my wound had started to close up.
LOL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm sorry to hear about your finger, Alan! I hope it heals quickly.
A few months ago I almost sliced off the tip of my left middle finger while slicing carrots with a dull knife. It went almost to the bone. Hand and finger injuries tend to take a long time to heal because they're always in use, so try to be careful with it.
Definitely no ER for me, they have more important things to do than look after morons. I didnt take that much off my finger anyway but as it is my right index finger I will be pretty useless for a while (Ok more useless than usual)
