Finally had an accident

+1 on the dry hands. I'm not sure what I was thinking, or not thinking. I normally have my towel handy, but not today. One thing everyone who shaves with a str8 knows, You cannot be distracted, EVER.....I know what I did now that I think about it. I was adding water to the lather in my scuttle using my cupped hand...Big Mistake.

Maybe you are lucky it hit your thumb first. Imagine what could have happened if the razor hit the porcelin with full force.

Glad you and the Duck are okay. I haven't had anything like that happen yet (knocking on wood) and I do make sure my razor hand stays dry. I used to shave naked out of the shower but now I make sure to put my undies on.... if you get my drift .... IOW, it could have been a lot worse.

That is a good news everything is ok.Next time take caution.This will happen many of us in different ways.

I think you misspelled ..... ah wait, that's probably correct.

I know, that's what I said as I was bleeding into the sink...

+1 on the dry hands. I keep a dry bar towel right on the edge of the sink. I make sure both hands and the entire length of the tang are dry during the shave. If they're not, I stop the shave, and dry my hands and/or the tang on the towel before I resume. Soap and water can make things WAY too slippery for my comfort zone when I'm handling a straight.

I keep a towel tied around my waist while I shave for reasons like this. I make sure I rub the heck out of my hands on the towel before I pick up the blade..

Not because of fear of cutting myself, but because......

I have a problem too!

I hope your thumb heals ok and don't let the girlfriend see!
