Hello again guys. Long hiatus owing to a rather hectic work and home life, I had a beard for a while there too.
I now have a nearly 3 year old son who enjoys shaving with me (de razor, no blade).
Straights have been in a box for a wee while, no time to use them but are still rather sharp, as a silly friend found out at the weekend when he asked to see the collection and ran his thumb up a blade 😲
Anyway, hello again, I hope you're all well 🖒
Hello. Welcome back.
Mate! You said the B word!:roflmao:rofl2:Quote:

Ran his thumb up the blade? Guessing he's not one of your smartest friends. Ha. Hope he didnt bleed on everything.
Welcome back!
It wasn't too bad. Side of his thumb by the nail. I was a bit puzzled as to why it would have seemed a good idea
Welcome back, at least your bud likely never felt a thing till it was all over and he got that surprised deer caught in the headlights look.

Welcome back to the forum.
Come on in and stay a while...the water's fine.
Enjoy your new found time here.

It goes back to using your thumb to 'flick' a knife sideways or even lengthwise to 'test' for sharpness. One of the reasons that guys who have sharpened knives for years can't fathom how Honing a Razor is so much different than Sharpening a Knife.Quote:

The very first stroke he drew the blade sideways and slashed the hell out of his cheek! This guy was on blood thinners and bled like the legendary stuck pig! I guess his wife didn't even speak to my friend for months!
However my friend's buddy eventually did learn to use a straight. Guess the old term of You got to be smarter than the thing your trying to operate taught him a valuable lesson. :w
Welcome back. I just give the obligatory it's sharp to people before giving them a razor or knife. If they are stupid enough to cut themselves I am in the clear and have full rights to make fun of them
Welcome back. :)
Hello. So welcome back ... from those who registred during your pause.

Thanks for the warm welcome back guys.
Welcome back!!
From another new guy round here
Welcome back
Welcome back and great story. Indeed, beards are scratchy and prevent shaving fun. That kills growing one for me. :p
The other "sad dad" thing, I only noticed after shaving it off, was feeling my sons cheek or hair against my cheek when he hugs me. Who knew.
