Good luck to ya in your up coming shaves.
Watch your angle and when starting out, make sure the SR's spin is close to your skin and go slow and easy. It'll come back to you.
Best of luck!
You will cut yourself. It is goiing to happen and sometimes I really get myself good. But, wash it, out Neosporin creme with pain relief because it is not greasy and let it heal completly. Keep it clean with Witch Hazel and use the Nepsporin
Cats??!! Oh yes, very tricky little critters!! I always tell people who ask about my Straight Razor scars[I've got about 4 REALLY GOOD ONES] to NEVER play truth or dare with an Osalot[spelling}.
I almost always cut my earlobe when I get rushed in the morning (damn Navy life). But yesterday I cut my thumb from being careless. I will set the razor down before I grab my badger brush. I just need to repeat that mantra.
as long as you know the error was because you were sidetracked and not paying attention, just be sure to pay attention next time. after you learn your lesson, you don't need to worry about it again.
It is very easy to get side tracked while shaving in extremely close proximity to ten other guys. But, the styptic pen is my friend.:w
I'm back to straight razors again, as of this morning. But was a little more careful this morning than I usually am. And very careful to keep the skin stretched -- a "bunch-up" was one of the causes of that neck cut.
Thanks to everyone, again . . .

Agreed!!! Today was my first day back after herding cats three days ago...:tameshigiri:
BBS with three passes. First time ever as this was shave number 43. Feels great and I'm still smooth after about twelve hours. Two small weapers on my chin and neck were the only carnage today. I have learned a ton about stretching my skin and short passes as Lynn and others have spoke of. Thanks to all for info provided here!!
God this has become a major hobby for me!!
