Thread: What is Your Worst Cut, Nick, or Scar from a Straight??

Mine's an equal opportunity face...

As i posted before, the worst cut was when I shaved for the very first time with a str8.

My father had never done it, my grandfather always used DE's and passed away befor I could ask him.

So, without any practicing or Internet-fora I tried myself. I had practiced a little on my hand and arm and that went OK.
Right cheek was no problem, in fact I was surprised how smooth it went. But then to shave the left cheek... I still had the razor in my right hand and managed to dig the full lenght of the blade into my cheek...

This was about 12 yrs ago and the razor came shave-ready out of the shop, so it was very, very, very sharp and made a clean cut. The cut left no scar so noone had to call me "scarface"

After that experience I looked in awe at the razor never to use it again. Until some 6 months ago, I had to buy new blades for my GMachIII and decided to go cheap for the future and bougt again a str8. It's all history after that.

You know me too. Why is that?

About 2 months ago I cut myself under my right side burn with a duck(I'm left handed).

I bled like a stuck pig and it's only just now healed and left a scar. It realy deserved sutures (about 3)

I cant shave that area in my normal downward pattern anymore as the scar turned out quite lumpy

I was shaving with my rogers which has a very long monkey tail and because of that the geometry of the blade and tang are thrown off so you have to hold it kind of odd like and as I was shaving across the left side of my chin for some inexplicable reason I did this sideways maneuver. Left about a two inch cut and a very nasty scar.

Argh me harties and shiver me timbers!

my worst so a has been a cut on the left side of my chin. I got it simply for not paying attention and it sank right in (damn those 7/8 TI's ). It left a big cut about 1.5 inches long. Now that in itself wasn't so bad.

However we had a big church conference that day for which I had to do some of the translation for someone who'd come to speak in English (so from english to dutch) and I had to stand on the stage next to him.....believe me I had a lot of people ask me what'd happened that day. Including the two churchleaders that came from abroad especially for that day.

yeah...but you have to get a "glasgow kiss" before you get a smile....and I thin i'd rather pass on that one....leaves your nose slightly crooked most of the time.

Remind me to avoid that town if I ever go to Scotland

I dated an english girl in highschool and her father had Scottish friends. I've heard more than a few stories ending in "so then I gave 'im a Glasgow Kiss."

Toughest old bastard I've ever met. He had an aluminum ladder dropped on his head from about 10 ft in the air. It was being hoisted up onto the roof of a building without a spotter down below and he walked under at the wrong time. Damn near scalped him and he didn't even fall down. A few hundred staples and stitches later, he looks like a brain donor.
