    Default Avoiding Nicks and Cuts

    An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
