Did that the 3rd week of using a straight. Things were going well and literally the instant I thought to myself "hey this isn't too hard..." hello nice long slice to the dimple area.

I have the same thing, i use the straightrazor for about 6 months now. I rarely cut myself during normal shaving. The only times i got myself hurt is when i am busy and thinking about otherthings. Than i got some nice bleeding spots on my cheek.

Same here it's when I have loads of stuff on and no time thats when I get the cuts.

As for catching falling blades Well I've been a chef for over 20 years and the the first thing I was told by first chef I trained with let it fall. so now if I drop a blade my first reaction is to step away from it and pick it up once it's has stopped moving. That is going to be harsh if I drop one of my vintage straights.

Like they say " you mess with the bull,you get the horns ".
