Well guys, I'm in my 2nd month of shaving with a straight here and just gave myself my first real gash - I've nicked myself a few times, but no real cuts.
I was using a Pipe razor with a barber notch for the first time and nicked myself with the lower edge of the notch. I guess I was a little spoiled by my Boker King Cutter that has a round point and got in the bad habit of rotating my hand away from my face...hence, the gash!

Anyways, many thanks to tylerbrycen for cleaning and honing this razor for me! Also, apologies if this picture is sideways as all of my photos have uploaded sideways :rant:
