Thread: Cut of the Day

The mantra that one of the brothers on this web taught me “Shave the lather not the whiskers"

My first ever SR shave. Interestingly,all the cuts were with my dominant hand!

Wow, you really went through the grinder! Hope you have an alum block or styptic.....or sutures!

Ouch !!!

I shared this with the Shaving with a SR sub forum, but I decided to post here.

TOTALLY messed up the blade angle, scooped out a nice chunk of my upper lip... Worst cut ever.

This is THE BEST cotd ever! :rofl2

A short time ago in another post, I agreed with another member that I have cut my fingers more than my face...but those were merely scratches compared with this. Most of what you see is a mixture of Vetbond, blood and paper towel. I was buffing the crap out of the toe of a razor with a micromesh pad...then around the bend and down...ouchie....and a tremendous amount of blood. This happened yesterday, I just took off the bandage to have a peek...ugh. The only thing I am happy about is that I had breadknifed the blade prior to some cleanup. Man, if that had been a shaving edge I would have made a trip to the ER. If you happen to Like this, I'll understand.

The site of that causes my gorge to rise....

That looks like it will leave a mark, and hopefully the feeling will return to the tip of that finger...get it looked after and bandaged up....my sympathies.

My deepest and bloodiest cut was done while sanding.

Almost needed stitches.

Feel your pain Bill. My sympathies.

This conjures the response of "gnarly!! (With surfer-bro accent, learned from Ninja Turtle movies)" from within me.
