I am about 4 days healed after my first slice and dice on my cheak of all places. Note to all newbies with small children...well two notes actually. (The obvious) Make sure your straight razors are put away safe, but the more important...If you have a children that are under the age of about 3 or 4 years old and are facinated by you shaving...Wait till they are in bed or away from the area. A simple little shrilly "What doing Daddy" from a 2 year old can totally get you out of your chi enough that even a simple WTG pass on the cheek can almost be a trip to the ER.

Just a little personal advice from one newbie parent to any others.I know cry me a river. Tears are easier to stop than a 1/2 inch slice.
