Yeah my razor is blunted for the last inch of it on the toe end.
Update here is how it looks with stichesAttachment 108196Attachment 108197Attachment 108198Attachment 108199Attachment 108200Attachment 108201
Is that from dropping the razor?!?
Or did you try and catch it also?
That is crazy deep!!!
Praying for a speedy and healthy recovery, my friend. ;)
Thanks Swerve, I feel much better about my cut cheek after that.
Owww, that's the worst one I think I've seen! Sorry you've had to suffer it. I think you're developing your own sharpness test, the DDT, or Dangling Digit Test. I think you should stop. Don't know if I'd recommend you get used to the TPT, or Thumb Pad Test. Maybe forgo all that silliness and just shave test. Carefully! With a lock on the bathroom door. It'll pay for itself.
At least you've got a really good answer when people ask about the scars: "Verifying my razor was sharp enough for shaving."
Best wishes to you, man. If this thread was a beach, you'd be Boss of it.

Do away with the nonsense tests. It looks like its ready. Shaving is the ultimate test. Shave in a area where you can't be disturbed if that is what happens when someone opens the door.
HHT has its benefits.
Even though I've done it the HHT isn't all that useful in checking the edges readiness for a shave, it is cool though, especially the first time, but I've got to ask, how you doing HHT, and managed to cut yourself like that, although I've had my wife scare the shit out of me and gotten the razor away from my face, just in time. But I'm serious how we were holding the hair and cutting it? Did you have it between thumb and forefinger and cut towards yourself? All I can say is I hope it heals quickly. Good luck bro
Here is an oldie but goodie. From a few years back. It seems that my nicks usually happen on the last touchups. Yeah, I was ticked.Attachment 108273
And this one is from an accident that happened while giving a Haircut with a straight razor (yes, I can do that).
No stitches need. Like a Man, I just put the flap back and taped it down. A week later, good as new.Attachment 108274
A very fine contribution! Sucks that it's on a bendy part, gonna make healing a bit of a pain. Thanks for taking time out for the photo.
Wow some pretty nasty cuts; hope everyone healed up ok. I do have to thank you all for this thread though because my wife kept coming up behind me when I was either stropping or getting ready to shave, but after showing her some of the cuts in this thread i think she'll now be staying as far from me as possible whenever I got the razor out :o
I've been hearing that hospitals and people use crazy/super glue now instead of stitches. People here who used it, does it sting super bad?
Double tap.
So good for sealing scales AND fingers?? :)
WHAT are you people DOING? Those pictures are horrific! This gives me that feeling in the nether regions that relates to the 'fight of flight' syndrome thing. I have a very low pain threshold. Johnny, you look very sad about the whole thing.
Geez! Here ya go!! Trying to bring reason and sanity into the mix!! These are just a photographic journal of what the result of handling an extremely sharp thing, mixed with soap, with a thin handle. Thank ganesh I haven't seen a warning stamped in the side of a blade, " Caution, sharp, may and will cut". Maybe I shouldn't have opened my big yap. The last pistol has a warning stamped on the side.
That's only because, I'm not sure how good a bull s****** Johnny is.
I, on the other hand, can come up with a serious B.S. story.
"And I chose the path less traveled by."
Me? Bringing sanity? Are you sure you're talking about me?
OH, by the way, keep the slashing up going, didn't mean to rain on anyone's parade. I guess on gun web sites they have an 'unauthorised discharge of the day' thread, or a 'Oh, I just shot my foot off' thread... :-)
JOKES people, JOKES!
Not sure about a prize. I have actually myself taken a photograph of a cut, but when viewed on the computer machine I judged it was piddling and silly and but a scratch...and so I did not post...
Sorry for those in hope of gore, just a helpful hint. The picture below is a good indication that, perhaps you may have cut yourself. After the lather for the second pass, I noticed a tell tale sign that i had nicked myself.

Twas but a scratch. But, when I saw the brush, I was like, WHAT THE....
Ever forward, endeavor to persevere!!
O.K.,,,,,,,,
Twas a dark and stormy night, to turn right was to home, but, I chose left;
or did I;
Did someone else make that choice for me?
Why my truck headed down that path of darkness is unknown.
The only thing certain was; before the sun would set again, widows would grieve and children would weep........
The rain and low temperatures made visibility difficult, looking through my front windshield.
The first thing I remember seeing was the flashing hazard lights on the women’s minivan. As slowed down, I made out the outline of three or four motorcycles parked ahead of the minivan.
There seemed to be a struggle going on inside the van. As my truck passed the van, it became clear to me that this was a violent assault on a young woman.
I exited my truck and approached the van. I shouted, “Enough, let her go!”
One of the punks turned rapidly wielding a deadly straight razor in his hand. Another punk pulled a handgun from his waist. I instantly recognized the straight as a rusty, chipped Wade & Butcher of enormous size; the kind my friend Wullie likes to buy.
He shouted, “You’re next!” The punk with the straight razor stepped forward, swinging it at my face; I redirected his swing, receiving a nasty cut on my left hand.
My right hand went to 4 o’clock and summoned the Devil’s Mouthpiece (Colt 45 Government Model).
Screams and the smell of burnt powder filled the air. Steam rose off the bodies and the spent casings lying on the ground.
The young woman was alive and franticly dialing 911 on her cell phone.
I spotted a half drank bottle of Absolut on the seat of one of the cycles. I poured the rest of the bottle on my wound. Reaching down, I pocketed the bloody Wade & Butcher; I knew my friend Wullie would want it.
My work was done here.
Ok folks, here is my entry. This actually happened at work yesterday; thank reardensteel for reminding about this thread. Long story short, my friends razor "chopped me". The back story is in a thread I started in the workshop forum, since I was actually doing some checking of the blade for a co-worker. Check it out, have a good laugh, and enjoy. If you can't laugh at yourself...well, everybody else will :p

You mean that's it?!?! :rofl2:
lol yeah, I'm glad it was...I freaking hate needles and stitches are waaaaaaay up there on the list even though I work in healthcare they still suck, but as mamed as I was :boohoo: I thought the story was pretty funny the way it happened, and thought a good laugh at my expense was in order. ";"
OK, Tiddle, you've shown good sportsmanship here, and I applaud that.
Still, after all the buildup, the suspense, and the anticipation...YOU MEAN THAT'S IT?!?!
All I can say is new skin is some awesome stuff...it actually was deeper than it looks now, but the whole bleeding in a clinic thing doesn't go well with my boss; sooooo the wound care nurses in the clinic across the hall from us let me borrow some silver nitrate and new skin.
