This happened earlier this evening. I applied a styptic pencil, and if I didn't it probably wouldn't have ever stopped bleeding. I've only been shaving about 6 weeks or so, and now the wife is pretty concerned. Overconfidence is a bad, bad thing...

The good news is if you keep antibiotic ointment and a bandage on it, the cuts from a straight are so clean it'll heal without scarring. Just don't let it dry out!
how did you even manage a cut that big?
must have been that sword fight at dawn eh?
Ouch! Yep, keep some antibiotic ointment and a bandage on it and it should heal fine. On the plus side, the area of your cheek just above & below the cut looks really smooth.:)
If your co-workers ask how you got it tell them,"you should see the other guy." :D Read my sig line below and it may help you avoid mishaps in the future. :gl:
at least you didn't cut your ear like me lol. my cut took awhile to stop bleeding, styptic pen did't do much for me. good news is you will have a cool scare :)
That looks Awesome...
But seriously I feel your pain. Had a scar almost as long as the blade, but only a few cells deep, didn't really bleed. Needless to say, everyone soon found out I was shaving with a straight.
I scar really badly from cuts but you know even the worst cuts I sustained as a newb never scarred. As we say down here "She'll be right mate " :D
I had a pretty big cut about a two months ago that actually left a distinct line I thought was going to scar. The line faded in about a month.
