I feel compelled to brag about how I received my first straight cut. While most probably have their first cut somewhere in the vecinity of their face, I did something far less dramatic. I cut my finger. I was sanding a black/tarnished blade with some 180-paper when I suddenly fumbled and ended up with the edge biting into my poor tender flesh. It's a small (~1cm) shallow nick that is placed on my left hands middle finger just above the nail.

If it scars I will forever treasure this as how I learned that even a blunt, tarnished scrap razor have an edge that is hungry for blood. In fact, I suspect that the razor did this on purpose as it finally saw the opportunity to do damage once again.

It was my first cut, but I bet it won't be my final.
