On investigation and interigation we deduced that he had found one of my razors and understandably for a 6 year old, ran his finger over the cutting edge whilst trying to understand why I used it like I did every morning. Thankfully he only nicked his finger but as you know, a straight can bleed like the best of them.
PuFF (the bad parent) :(
This reminds me of an accident I had, when I was about 5-6 yrs old. My father shaved at that time with a Schick Injector. He left a cartridge of spare blades in the drawer of our coffeetable in the livingroom. I found the cartridge and although I wasn't ment to produce a blade I managed to do so. I ran it along the tip of my tongue to "taste" its sharpeness and to top it, I ran it again along my upper lip, because I couldn't taste the sharpeness. I did taste my blood very soon though.:cry:
Was my father a bad parent? No, in no way, he just forgot to hide the cartridge.
Safety razors in the neighbourhood of children, OK, but we also have to teach them what is sharp.:nono: I found out the hard way.
