This thread is useless without pictures!

Ooowww, don't use that terrible word too sharp. When a razor is properly sharp it's just sharp if you overdo it it's damaged not too sharp. Unless of course you guys want to revisit the sharpness debate-I don't either.

I don't think the mishap occurred because of the state of the edge. probably you stretched and stretched and that affected your stroke and that caused the cut.

If I may suggest, please ease up on the hard stretching. Of course, stretch you must, but don't go overboard. After all, it is only skin and it can handle only so much.

In the meantime, apply the appropriate ointment and then lay off the shave for a day or so until you heal.

I don't normally stretch like this. It was more of an experiment to see if stretching it realllllly tight would make a difference.

Yes it did. A big bloody difference

Not on your life LOL

I have enough fingers pointing and laughing when I am out in public.

My neighbour offered me a Bic disposable dammit!

That is a battle wound! Wear it with pride!

I do, sincerely, hope it heals quickly and cleanly. I understand the feeling in public-- times I have cut myself I have been tempted to call in sick out of the mortifying idiocy I feel. But then I see someone else I know with a bit of toilet paper stuck in a nick he gave himself with a Mach III, and I realize how much more humiliating his situation is... and he doesn't even realize it!

Know what was most insulting? Not that he recommended a disposable, but that he recommended the cheapest of cheap disposables.


That being said, I showed the wound tonight to the lady I have been dating. She kissed my boo boo better and said scars are sexy.

More women admire a straight with strop, mug, etc than Joe Fusion with a can 'o goop.

You obviously have a TiVo and have been skipping on commercials, shame on you, the economy is tanking because of people just like that.

Nah. P&G has never done better.

Their formula for shaving has shown a sheady increase in cost-per-shave.

Besides, the way I see it, I will still spend my money. What I save on shaving I will spend on clothing or a nicer car.

All works out in the end.
