Try not to laugh too hard...
So I've been shaving with a straight since Christmas when I got a Dovo Shavette. Got rid of my cartridge razor and haven't looked back.
I've gotten a few nicks and thinned my skin a few times but never anything a quick bit of my Styptic pencil couldn't fix.
Until tonight.
I've been shaving with either round or muted pointed razors till I got a sweet little Clover back from Glen.
It can be seen here in the first photo. Lovely little shaver.
Was a bit peeked tonight during my shave as my wife was talking to her mother about trying to get me her great grandfathers razor but my wife's uncle wants it (to sell. I'd get it shaving again and pass it down to my boys when they're old enough).
So my razor must have been feeling left out and it gave me a kiss.
First bloody pic is from about 80 seconds after the kiss. I had rinsed off the initial bit and USED BOTH Styptic pencil and match. It kept bleeding.
So I just finished shaving and got my second pass in every where else.
About ten minutes later it stopped and this is what I've got now.

Thats the great thing about square points, they teach you to pay attention!
It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Twain

a bit of practice and more attention to the point and you will be golden.
I like spikes a lot they allow to do some detailed work in tight areas. I started with a spike point razor and had a few minor accidents myself at the beginning.Stefan

I got a couple really bad ones, but the styptic pencil stopped them right away. There's a very faint scar from the first one, and the 2nd one has a scar that's starting to go away (but probably won't ever fully go away.)
