Thread: Cut of the Day

This is also coming from the same guy that considers himself lucky, and to have had "a good month", if I only slightly bang my shin at work. Commonly, I bloody my shin every few weeks. Which reminds me, I think I have a thread I need to update .

But that's how real men live. One single razor sharp blade against their cheek and hands calloused and permanently stained with grease and grit.

That's not a cut. That's a nick. Keep trying.

I'd rather not keep trying... The biggest lesson I've learned from this thread is to run like hell from a falling razor. My two razors are less than 100 each, and I have no sentimental attachment, so I'd rather not have to have nerve clusters having to be put back together in my hand.

Over a year of straight shaving with nothing more than a small nick or two... then this happened a few weeks ago. Caught my lower lip on a down stroke. Oops.

And don't shave naked.

My friend, I'm wondering just how those words of wisdom came to be.

Don't forget bungee cords, they fix everything.


Cut a skin tag off last night, that as close as I've gotten to being part of this thread.

Same thing I learned from my first real cut from a straight... pay attention! And don't put the edge straight down onto the skin!
