Thread: problem

Peter,

I did that once on each cheek. Not during the same shave thankfully. I did remember it bleeding alot though. I still have 2 light scars, if anyone asks tell them they are dueling scars thats what I say.

I don't think I'd be able to shave with my glasses on if I tried. I turn my head so much that at least part of my view is outside the borders on my glasses anyway. I have shaved with contacts in and it does help, but I usually just shave near-sighted and stand real close to the mirror.

That's what I do if I don't want to put my contacts in.

I had finished honing the big wedge I have been working for the last 3 days,any way i didn`t even get one pass in , managed to shove the point straight into my cheek about an inch above the jaw on the left side , the cut is just under an inch long , bled like a stuck pig. It is the best one since I started using a straight
I have come to the conclusion that I will be keeping my spec-ta-cackles on during shaving and take extra care on the s-n pass
Kind regards peter

We all have different issues, that we overcome to shave with a straight. Mine are lack of binocular depth perception and very poor periphial vision on both sides, especially my right side due to multiple eye surgeries.

Look on the bright side...at leas you dont have a real issue that would prevent you from using a straight...like a muscle twitch or something.

Exactly... although I'm afraid that's only a matter of time for some of us

Besides, cutting yourself a little is hardly the most dangerous thing that can happen to you while shaving.

Man, I thought I was spastic! It's a good thing he wasn't using a straight at the time; no telling what that would have severed!!

I saw him on leno the other night briefly talking about it. It appeared to me that he was 3 sheets to the wind. That being the case maybe that was his problem.
