Thread: Public service announcement! Why not to shave with one eye open

I use to cut myself like this nearing the top of the learning curve. I was getting consistent BBS shaves, felt confident, and didn't respect the edge enough. Well, I got a small reminder to remember to respect the edge. It has been a long time since then, but I am always very respectful and aware of where the edge is at all times. The cuts were really scratches and healed over in a few days.

Good Luck,

Pabster

I've been exclusively straight-shaving for about a year, and I occasionally do a bad landing like that. It happens when I'm feeling too confident, I think. Or unfocused. Gotta stay humble before the Blade.

Good luck, heal fast!

That's a fear I have, not kids, but a cat that likes to jump on me. I can see it now, cat jumps and hits my arm and I gash my face. The cat would use up all 9 lives pretty fast if that happened, so I guess it would only be an issue once.

OP, shaving when you're tired can make you do dumb things.
Last night, I kept shaving with my DE even when the blade began to tug. I had about 7 weepers on my neck before I decided to change the blade.
As if that wasn't bad enough... I losen the head on my slant so I can rinse it all off. While I was rinsing my head off I found a little spot that I missed while shaving and not thinking, grabbed the razor and started shaving it off. Yeah, the new Feather blade did a fine job flopping around and nicking me all up before I remembered. To top it all of, a mole I typically shave lightly over was cut in two because I wasn't paying attention.

Screw alum, I need to buy some quikclot combat guaze.
