The best one I ever did: We went on holiday and I took my big 8/8 Friodur. First morning of the holiday I was shaving my head. I cannot remember why it happened, but about the 3rd stroke in I cut the top of my forehead above the left eye. A big 2 inch cut, right where everyone could see it. Only superficial, healed in a week or so, but bled a lot at the beginning.
Have not really cut myself like that since - I think something like that focuses the mind. Nowadays it is more small weepers or rash from shaving tests on badly honed razors...
