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
