Was the razor in question a round or square point? I only ask because I have gotten so comfortable with round points that I could almost shave in the dark with them. Recently I purchased a square point from a member and confident in my round-point technique, went at it. Before I knew it and without feeling it, I had sliced about a 3/4" cut into my cheek. I don't consider it a setback, just a friendly reminder to keep my mind focused on the task at hand and respect the blade.
