Thread: Cuts on face excuses...

My business partners have a lot of cats - they never even bothered to ask.

Aside from one ear nick that refused to quit bleeding (a technique I learned from @earcutter) I never really had a "cut" that showed enough to generate questions or excuses - I mostly collected little dings that gave up after witch hazel, cold water and/or a dash of styptic. Not ding proof, it still might happen when I pick up a square point razor after a layoff.

Cats, Wife, Kids, knife fight, power tool accident, fell off a ladder and landed in the silverware drawer, confused Rabi during a Bris ceremony, Motorcycle wreck, car wreck, flesh wound from a gunshot, ninja turtles, damn Decepticons, war wound healing, face fell into the lawnmower, what cuts?. Any of those would work.

"My girlfriend let me shave her legs, if I let her shave my beard."

I usually tell people I got the cut at fencing school in Manheim.

I don't think they believe me

I tell them I used to be a pirate.

Shoulda told her the cuts came from the cat that you used to own......yesterday.

Well, there has only been a couple of times my straight got me good and both times were at the back of my head. My wife pointed it out and said "wtf did you do to yourself?". I replied "it's an illluuuusssiioon" and waved my hands around.

I was in this Gang fight...and my Gang did not show up...

Those are some good excuses. I will keep thinking of new ones as well Hopefully they get fewer as you gain a better technique. I am now to the point where I make z's on my face. (I am shaking so much lol)). I really enjoy the experience, but I like it better after 3 days or longer. I guess I like to see a lot of beard being whacked. Thanks for all the comments, this is a great site. By the way, does anyone sit on a stool while shaving? I have a terrible back injury and I have to sit a lot of the time on a stool, and was wondering if anyone else had to do that.

Yes. Once in a while.
