Thread: Ever been startled and cut while shaving?

not yet but i too shave with the door open !

I have written about this before but short version - vacation, sister and kids, shaving commando, door opening--- 5 inch scar... Enough said.....

While our master bath was undergoing renovation I shaved in my wife's powder room, and we often were there at the same time. She once stuck a mascaria brush in her eye and let out a squawk. Fortunately I didn't have the blade on my face, because it did startle me. I now shave alone and if she approachs will always ask "Are you shaving?" Wish the dog was as courteous, she just comes in with that "Hi, whatca doin" look.

i recently bought my girlfriend a gillette blue star DE and while i was shaving she decided to try it out. everytime she rinsed it out she shook the water out and the one time it did startle me and i knicked myself behind my ear. it was my fault for getting distracted, i mean i don't have any hair behind my ear so why was the razor there but it wasn't funny either. that was the first time i had a knick due to bein startled but i usually shave alone.

Hold it! Now you gotta explain why you go on vacation with you sister and her kids and shave in the buff with the door open.... Some people who do that kind of thing can't live within a mile of a school or playground and have to register with the government every time they move....


BTW... only a five inch scar?

i've cut myself while rushing, because i'm trying to cut corners, so while rushing i get startled easier a little line where the razor first contacts the skin.
one time a nick a little under the temple bled and bled and bled.
So i agree shut the door, my wife asks before barging in, but my daughter doesn't.

if'n ya feel a sneeze coming on, put the razor down....tried to shave trough one with a vintage DE....took 20 min to stop the blood........

I almost cut myself because of the cat. I didn't see it come into the bathroom and it went to scratch my feet. That would have been messy!!

The door wasn't open it didn't lock and it started to open so I threw myself against, it razor still on cheek etc etc etc.

Okay, now this story starts off a little... personal...

Okay, so my fiance and I typically shower at the same time to help keep the water bill down. So one day, I hop out of the shower while she's still showering and start to shave (by the way, without an exhaust fan this can sometimes be very difficult, as our bathroom is tiny and the air gets very humid very quickly and becomes difficult to breath...) Anyhow, long story short, she dropped the bottle of shampoo while I was just about to start a xtg pass on my right cheek. I flinched and hit the back of my ear lobe. I was lucky I didn't cut the damn thing right through. :P

Anyhow, the scars so fine you can't see it unless your inches away from it, so no biggy. :P
