Thread: worst shave to date!

Well today I shouldn't even have gone into the bathroom and shave. It all started when i lost the stopper for my G5 scuttledown the drain,then hit the faucet with one of my razor's and put a small nick in the edge. so i took it to the my limited hone collection and tried to remove it. That was successful, but the edge i put on it sucked, so back to the bathroom for another razor which was suitable for shaving. re-preped, and the phone rings, which is my daughter crying cause she misses me(i miss her too!) being recently separated and her with her mom today. I said goodnight after consoling her, back to shaving. then proceed to open my razor as normal, or what i thought was normal, but my head not being 100% on what i was doing i guess, i put a cut about 5/8" long in the tip of my thumb. After i stopped the bleeding and put a band-aid on the thumb, i finished my first pass. No more bad luck, after that, finished my second pass and called it a night. Maybe the next time i shave it will turn out better!!

That sucks! Imagine back "in the day" how many men had similar experiences. No wonder Gillette was a success.

I am not so certain I would have had the nerve to keep going with that ill-fated shave. Good job, and here's to some better shave karma next time around!

Sorry for the troubles and being seperated from your daughter.

I cut my pointer finger and thumb at the same time..felt really sweaty and used a paper towel to clean my razor..had a REALLY off day..next day gets better :-)
