Thread: Don't try and catch your straight if you drop it!

I'm the same way- get out of the shower and eager for the shave, but wait- put some unders on 1st.

Also, never fry bacon naked.

I would rather Loose the finger.

If I had shoes on I would probably try to break it's fall with my feet, other wise I would let it fall. I cut myself bad with a kitchen knife once and put myself out of being a guitar player for 6 weeks. I'm not doing that again

Thanks for the psa Adam, we can all use a reminder from time to time.

Yeah, there are some things you just don't catch. But it's funny how the brain registers things. Heavy things and hot things I will get out of the way quick-fast. But I'm just too comfortable with sharp objects I guess and I haven't quite learned to dodge rather than catch a razor. It'll probably take a nice slice like that to teach me better, and I'm honestly surprised I haven't gotten that lesson yet.

Get a good thick rubber backed rug for in front of your shave mirror. Place it there yourself!!! Then you have a reason to get out of the way. Brain works better with other situational options in place.
I worked with heavy, shiny, hot, spinning, and sharp stuff most of my life. I learned early that I wanted to count to 21 at bed time.
