Thread: How long since your last slice up??

Well, it's been so long since I sliced up my face you JUST KNOW how confident I was getting and suffered for my Hubris today, with my Newark "Electric" 4/8'th's a towel sliped off the edge of the sink and I turned my head to look and the little part in front of my left ear got it and got it GOOD! I had to finish my shave with my none dominent hand and ask my sweetie, Karen Sue to come in and help my put the crazy glue and bandage tape on when the bleeding fianlly subsided. And yes, I did put lots of Pot. Alum on, but a very clean and deep little razor cut was just to much for my clumsyness today!!Point is, has this happed to anyone of late that can relate?? My lady by the way won't let me hear the end of it, feel a bit like Ralphy in the move the chrstmas story, 'You Goona' shoot your eye out with that BB gun!!"
Happy BBS people, and good night, tinkersd

Monday week ago my upper lip suffered a serious cut that kept bleeding on and off until I put some Spongostan onto it.

Spongostan is really great stuff.

Spongostan sounds like great stuff, were might I score some, so to speak. The hard part is convincing my 7 years of grandchild her Papaw ain't gonna die any time soon due to excessive bleeding, [really upset the day'lights out'a her]

Have a good night, tinkersd

Any medical supplies store will be able to sell you Spongostan.

I just gave myself a good 1" cut while trying to figure out how to stroke from just in front of my ear forward (XTG). Obviously, I don't have it figured out yet and now feel like I'm growing lopsided sideburns as I wait for it to heal. Just happened yesterday. Even styptic couldn't completely stop it.

It's been 10 days for me. The thing is that the older I get the longer these cuts take to heal. These were not even deep slices but will still probably take several more days to disappear. I usually switch back to DE after a cut just so I am not cutting myself while still healing from a cut. This is my second "cut" break. I hope I don't need many more.

about three weeks ago i was finishing up on my left cheek went down close to my chin and i for no reason hiccuped that was enough to give me a 1 inch long slice i did not have the right supplies and it was Sunday night so no pharmacy run so i just kept using the styptic pen and alum block and finally stopped bleeding my wife still asks me if i got all my hiccups out before i shave.

its been at least a day or two. Honed a razor. I guess the tip was duller before. Almost lost an ear.

I get the odd weeper every now and then, but a full out blood gushing cut? It's been a while, I couldn't even tell you TBH

Just to chime back in fellow cut up's, I noticed about 5 very noticable scar's on my cheeks and chin that I have aquired from the great hobby of ours, of course I tell people I just lost a fight with a 10' tall brown bear and that usually stops the staring. But you and I know that truth, not don't we!!?? HeHeHe I still love wet shaving though, even with all the blood and somtimes pain.

Have a great G/day!! tinkersd
