I managed to cut my finger on the blade of my Merkur 34C HD de safety razor. Go figure.

1. Cut my hand to crap because I dropped a razor and without thought tried to catch it...Result, shredded hand....
2. Chipped a Henkels friodor (?) because I was stupid enough to put it on extra fine DMT witihout first sanding down the chips....Result...Chipped NOS Henkels.

Man, what a sorry bunch of Oafs you guys are. I never have to worry about mishaps like that.

After shaving under my nose, I was bringing the blade down to wipe off the lather and I clipped the front of my chin. I now have a one inch scar.

What a depressing thread
I remember sanding right thru the hollow of a nice Genco chasing that last pit that bugged me.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

This thread does me alot of good. If there's a mistake to be made, I'll find it. Some I'll do several times. (pay no attention to those strops - they're really a macrame project.)

Way to many mishaps to count, the dremel debacle, dropping razors, hand sanding cuts, buffer gaffs and on and on..... sometimes I wonder where the fun is in all of this!

Put a nice little notch in a brand new dovo bismark. It was a mistake shaving at an unfamiliar sink when in a hurry. Cut finger up pretty good trying to catch the same razor while I was oiling to blade for safe-keeping. Needless to say oil makes things harder to hold and the razorrock is not meant for 1/4 inch deep cuts. But you live and learn and I have many more mistakes ahead of me on my straight razor journey.

the worst thing i have ever done in th shaving fild was my first shave i tried to do sythling motion (thought i could be on of the big dogs ) and ended up with a nice gash that is now a scar on my left side of my face(thanks o all of oyu who have posted about that motion when shaving you know who you are, next time put a disclamer on it so that people like me know not to try it before we learn the basics of a shave).

Leaving my brush in a full mug of lather for the day. And cutting the tip of my finger/ nail when stretching my skin.
