Thread: Fix those loose pivot pins! Stitches.

Man, sorry to see that. I hope it closes up quickly.

I have a couple of cuts like that on my right index finger that I got while sanding non-sharp blades (overshot the blade sanding with my right hand, causing the blade to slip while being held in the left hand and slice the right index finger). Luckily, none of those blades were close to shave-ready sharp. Even when somewhat dull, the blades left good gashes that bled quite a bid. I cringe at the thought of what a shave ready heavy wedge would do.

I have a little scar from unpinning a razor.
DULL razor... slip and BAM...right to the bone!
Heard it scraping... YUCK!

Man I hate to see that happen to anyone, hope it heals quick. No wonder Glen hates loose pivots.

Ok! Since I only have 3 SR under my belt, this SCARES me!

Meh, I equate this to a snake handler that gets sloppy while handling a rattlesnake and gets bit. I can't even remember the last time I even nicked myself while shaving. This happened while looking in the mirror not shaving.

Quite Right! Most of my Ah Craps have happened while I wasn't paying attention to where the razor was!

As far as the difference between the damage between a Wedge and a Hollow Grind, I'll take the wedge over my son's 8/8 Friodur! Especially if when the initial pain was felt and I would 'jerk' causing more of a slicing motion! But there again, to each their own!

Anyway, heal up and get those pins tightened and just learn from the Aw Crap!

It was a guillotine type of motion. Followed by..honey....i think i need stitches. My wife is a nurse practitioner and loves when I'm the patient.

Nothing like keeping it all in the family. Handy too.

True story: last night I had a nightmare about closing my fist on an open straight razor....now this...time for a Norelco.
