Thread: How to cut yourself.

For your consideration I have one more to add..... From prior experience.

In the middle of a great shave thinking, HMMM I haven't seen red in awhile... I must be getting this down...... Gnhhhhhh uhm where did I leave that damm styptic at?

Ahhh yes. Over confidence. That one will get you every time.

My personal bete noir is the #1. I've given myself two really good cuts in the last month from thinking that just because I've spent several hours restoring a razor that I know how it will shave.

If a blade doesn't speak to you, don't try to speak to her. She doesn't understand your language. And, what is worst, you don't understand hers. This is what I learnt.

Its obvious, they're fake.

Fake or not, they can still cut you...oh, wait...you weren't talking about razors were you?

Here's a goodie I pulled the other day...

"Catch the razor" I'm glad I did as I would have seriously cried if I allowed my Genco to be chipped on the porcelian sink...but she scolded me for my butterfingers with a nice slice in my thumb. 3days and it's already healed up, but have your wife walk in with your face half lathered and the sink full of blood. Not a pretty sight!

Thanks for the thought Pauly, but I already know how to cut myself.....and I've had lots of practice.

Amen to that one, t'other day the fpo asked me a question mid shave ( and as we all know blokes cannot do 2 things at once) yup i sliced myself well and proper.

note to self close bathroom door and put sign up saying do not distract.

Yes. Happened my first shave. Everything was going perfectly, no nicks at all. Then my wife comes in and starts trying to have a conversation with me. Well the razor didn't like that too much and let me know by attempting to meet my jaw bone. Thankfully, I was kinda ignoring my wife due to the task at hand so it didn't get very deep at all. Lesson learned early on. Shave while the wife is away.

This is an older thread, but I had a new experience recently that fits well in here...

On an odd day with a late morning shave someone (I think the UPS guy) rang the doorbell. The sound alone I did not expect, but apparently my dog didn't expect it either (maybe he was sleeping?). He went nuts and I got a nice red line down my cheek for a few days!
