Thread: Anyone have a funny shaving story they'd like to share?

That could be grounds for finding a new girlfriend.

Use the heel of one of her high heels to hammer nails, then she'll understand.

Did the same thing with my uncle's injector. Only I had my thumb next to the blade outlet. took it a second to start hurting, but it did start. Those little buggers are sharp.

As I recall I was about 4 years old and always admired my Pa's Schick injector razor and one day I climbed up to the medicine cabinet over the sink and got the injector assembly and proceeded to work the mechanism as I gleefully watched the blades go shooting out. It was a few seconds later I realized they were shooting over my right index finger. As I type this almost 60 years later the scar is still clearly there.

I then had the bright idea one Saturday to do the mapping directly on my skin. I could then shave and see what direction for each pass. After looking around I found a purple marker labeled "Skin Marker" in the medicine cabinet and it seemed ideal for the experiment. Soon I had circles and arrows all over my jaw and neck...

I had to hold my sides from laughing at your story.

SIMILAR STORY UNRELATED TO SHAVING:
My wife and I got married on a Saturday evening and our best friends got married a week later. We moved into apartments across the hall from one another near the university we all attended. We often shared dinners with each other, so one evening my wife and I thought we would invite them over. We stepped into the hall and loudly knocked on their door. We heard a lot of giggling, rushing around, and a frantic "Just a minute!" Being newlyweds ourselves, we quickly shouted, " Never mind! We'll come back later!"

They kept insisting, "No, just give us a minute." When they opened the door, the newlywed wife, who had obviously been naked, was quickly pulling a robe closed, trying to hide what appeared to be colored magic marker drawings all over her body. Her husband exclaimed, "It's not what you think." With a reddening face, the wife said, "John has to learn all the muscles of the human body for a Biology exam, so he was marking all the muscles on my body."

We still occasionally see them and still laugh about his study methodology. I never asked, but I bet he made an "A."

i once tried something verry simiular last yr for a 10th grade test but i got sidtracted my the person i was studing (my gf at the time) needless to say i never did get an a on that test but i was the only person smiling while i got my c-.

Any other good stories?

Well my stories are fairly recent.

The First was a friend who came to visit for the first time. After she used the restroom, she commented on how much she liked my new decorations. I asked of what decorations she was speaking of. She replied that the straight razor, brush and accesories really made my bathroom look old timey. I told her thank you and explained that I enjoy using the SR every day. She gasped... For the next twenty minutes she tried to convince me not to use the razor... she was convinced I would slit my throat in the coming days! :P

The second was my first cut with a straight razor. I was shaving under my nose and was a bit tired. Well I felt a little sting and realized that the tip of the blade was sunk in cheek. Ouch! I carefully pulled it out and applied my styptic pencil. Lesson learned!
