He hangs his head in shame

I had to get up early this morning and go into town and I was late as it was and I'm trying to do a quick straight shave and the missus comes over and starts jawing at me and I told her you know you're making me lose focus here and she says what's the matter can't you do more than one thing at the same time? I said no not when I got a razor on my face and she says well, you've been doing this so long it should be automatic and now I'm losing even more focus and kicked her out of the room however that Dovo pearl scaled SS model 41 was very focused just waiting for it's chance to create mischief and all of a sudden ...POW ,ZOWEE. So I come out of the bedroom and she says why what did you do to yourself? That's some cut. You can't go like that. Let me put some makup on to...no don't even go there.

So now I have this 2 inch cut on the left side of my mouth. Luckily it wasn't deep. I haven't done something like that in probably 9 years.

I won't supply the moral of the story here.

I know the feeling... sliced myself last night, and just shook my head. Silly mistake.

I will.

The moral of the story is that being married is awesome, because you've always got someone you can blame for your own stupid mistakes!

I've observed women driving while holding a sheaf of papers on the steering wheel, while talking on the phone, while checking something on the console and then reaching for a cup some beverage. It is impossible to compete with those who are able to multi-task at that level and even more difficult coping with being taken to task for not being able to do the same - and do it now - quickly. You may not be surprised to learn that I'm single. I've been told that I have the flexibility of a concrete block; they don't bend much, but they can be moved.

Sorry to hear about your mishap.

Boy oh boy is that amusing in so many way's. Not that you have a cut but the marriage thing. I just celebrated a milestone 5th anniversary and am happy to see things will not change.

nickedNsliced

ouch...put a half inch "mini-slice" just off the corner of my mouth about a week and a half ago. haven't nicked myself since though. not because I've more carefull but because I had a couple moles removed from my neck and I'm still waiting for the wounds to heal. theres some irony for ya, I get them removed to make shaveing easier and now I can't shave. at least I can't enjoy it because I'm afraid to pull either my straights or DE's across them and, for the time being, am stuck with a disposable

Practicing with 3 little children around does wonders for your focusing ability also:)

As I see it straight shaving is multi-tasking. Focusing on where the blade is, where your face is, pressure, direction of blade, angle of blade, streching skin the list goes on and on... Adding a wife into the mix or worse yet, kids! is always a recipe for bad things to happen to an innocent face. This is why doors have locks and radios can be turned up :-) (pretty easy to figure out why I'm single huh? ladies please don't be offended but shaving is alone time). Hope you heal quickly!!

It's comforting to know that even very experienced straight shavers can slice themselves so I won't feel so bad next time I do it.

I for one am thankful that TBS risked SRP humiliation by admitting to all this.....

Just kidding around of course. Thanks for sharing, and it just goes to show that even the most experienced among us are allowed mistakes every now and then.

Great post! I laughed reading it, hope your cut will be gone soon.

Luckily my girlfriend let me have the bathroom for a really long time when I shave with a Straight, she loves the smooth result and know that I can never complain when she is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr doing her makeup for HOURS.

So it is give and take, but I shave with concentration all by myself until I`m finished:)

Sorry & grateful to hear

Spendur, 'Very sorry to hear, but also grateful for your kindness in sharing. It's easy for the noob to imagine the experienced guys never lose focus, make a slip, etc. I hope its not deep & heals fast. The humility to share makes your stock rise alot. I appreciate your kindness.

Hehe! Been there, done that..! :D

SWMBO asked me a question one morning a while back when I was shaving and I turned to answer her without moving the blade far enough away from my face. *sliiiiice*

Its easily done..! Hope you heal up quick mate!

One question though, how does mascara help a shaving cut...? :D ;)

Come on guys, it just can happen.

I have far more scars from barbed wire than I ever will have from shaving with a straight razor.

But just a moment will do you in.

I don't know how, but recently my blade hung up. Result was a minor cut.

It has been many moons since I had a true cut, even a minor one. It just happens to every one at some time if they are honest.

I mean, look at what you are doing! Moving a truly 'razor sharp" object around your face. Sooner or later something is going to go south.

No your not going to cut off half your cheek or chin, or end up talking like a hair lip (politically incorrect statement), but these things (small cuts) are going to happen.

And Stubeear, that is why I am an anti-social shaver. My wife once stuck a mascara brush in her eye while I was shaving and let out a rather loud explicative! (Bless her heart, I love her to death,). Fortunately I didn't have the razor on my face at the time. But I learned/ I've been known to disconnect the telephone doing my shaves. I would suggest we all become anti-social where our shaves are concerned.

I'm as anti social as they come when it comes to my shave time.

Ha! Having grown up on a farm, I can relate to that, but I certainly have not given it a thought for a couple of decades!

Having grown up on Stations(Ranches?) and farms and having ridden a trail bike into a barb wire fence while mustering, I can also make the same statements...:D
