Thread: Cut of the Day

I can believe how stupid I was. I respect the razor in preparation, maintenance and shaving. But I was stung, or rather cut after the shave had completed. All in all this has made me show better respect to the straight as I was becoming rather cocky at how good I was at straight razor shaving considering I am a complete novice...

Respect the blade

Funny how fast an inanimate object, especially a sharp one, will remind you that it is to be respected at all times.

So far the worst I've clipped myself has been a razor thin strip just deep enough to make a thin red line on my cheek. It's been a while since I've even gotten that. Usually I get it from getting into a rush and touching the blade to my cheek a little too fast with a little too much pressure and maybe a slight bit of motion lengthwise. I suppose it's rarely worse because the feeling of a cold razor blade prodding at freshly exposed nerve endings is quite unique and brings me to an immediate halt lol.

well i didnt even make it to my face b4 i cut myself ..lol

i started working on the edge of my w&b and noticed it had some micro chipping so onto the 800 stone to work that out i went .. then the 1k , BBW a few times , then onto the nice coti side !! took some passes on my calf and back to the coti for a few more touch up strokes ... aahh and now im finally done after 2hrs of playing with this blade i go to set it down and SLICE !! i dont know how i did it but here ya go for my little cut of the day entry

All i know is a Greaves razor would never of did me so wrong

Blood instead of water. What is the benefit with this new technique?

How was the blood as a slurry?

Crikey, took a toe right off.

Haaa, almost looks like it

Do we need to send you a chair?? You are not allowed to leave the lathe. Just kidding .I hate toe injuries ,because with every step I am reminded of the accident. Get well soon hope you got Dads brush finished before you injured yourself. I know that is your pet project for the year, and I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I was amazed how little it hurt today. When it happened I thought I was going to need a soother.

Dad's brush is done!

Is the DMT okay?

Well, the bevel is definitely set.
