Thread: Cuts on face excuses...

Hello Gents.
I went to the dentist today, and before I got into the chair I told the girl that all of the cuts on my face were due to my learning curve while learning to use a straight razor.(They are not all that bad) She looked at me like I was crazy. Has anyone else used any different excuses to explain any cuts? While I am here, I saw the other day about some type of drawing for a prize of some sort, but I cannot find it. It was something about trying to boost participation. If anyone knows where that is, please let me know. Thanks.

Maybe this one?

Fortunately I've only had to explain a cut on my face once. I don't get much more than weepers anymore and the few cuts I've had were taken care of by a styptic pen; except for one and I was lucky to have some liquid bandage on hand. That's the stuff that is like super glue. I had to use it for about 4 days before it healed enough to quit bleeding on it's own. Yeah, get used to the crazy look if you go out telling people what you do. You never get people saying, "You shave with a straight razor? What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?" No, it's always, "You do what? Why?"

That was it. Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it. Yep, I was asked that same question

I always get the "i hope the other guy looks worse" from my Co workers

Ninjas... ninja attack. Lol

Just had a long conversation tonight with a coworker about wet shaving in general. He hates shaving but likes clean shaved. Trying to get him interested in our great "hobby". He was asking about cuts an how bad. Told him its part of it but the excellent shaves are worth it. As far as excuses I don't lie about them. The reaction is always better when they find out how it happened.

I tell them I'm trying to look more badass. It's hard to be a gangster when you're so cute.

Cheers.

When I first started I had two good 3 inch long cuts, one on each side, where the cat attacked me while shaving and my then s/o decided to towel snap me. I used to tell people bare knuckle boxing and customers I'd tell I had a new kitten.

I have a nasty scar from a cervical fusion and a nice one on my chin from shaving. I always tell them it was from a knife fight. It is the truth a razor and a scalpel. Never had anyone ask further. Really fun with kids
