Thread: What's your most ridiculous shaving injury?

Hate to raise an old thread from the dead, but I did a good one yesterday. Was using my index finger to wipe mineral oil on the blade & was going too fast b/c I was getting ready to go out, and what do I suddenly see arcing through the air, to land in my lathering bowl? A teeny little piece of the tip of my index finger.

be careful out there, gents. These things are facking SHARP.

Yeesh,you guys are going to scare the crap out of the new shavers!I've only got a couple months in myself and have had a couple of small nicks,but if I had read this thread earlier I might have been scared off.

No kidding!! I've only been at it for a few months, and had my share of cuts, but nothing that didn't heal in a day or two....nothing like you guys are talking about! I would definitely be deterred from trying the straight if I thought all of those injuries were common place. There should be a "NEWBIE BEWARE" warning at the beginning of the thread.

Nicked a mole once; those bleed like nothing else; other than that I sometimes get a hairline cut from letting the razor slip a little going over my cheekbones .
