What bothers me about getting cut is that beyond the discomfort of the cut itself is knowing that I'll have to take a few days off of the shaving routine to allow for healing.
Yesterday, I would have said that I can’t remember the last time I cut myself. (Either I’m very accomplished or the family dementia thing is settling in…)
But today I took it on the chin from my Friodur. It bled like I was Russian royalty since I took an ear-ringing amount of ibuprofen last night. Couldn’t find the styptic pencil cuz- I don’t cut myself! Applied direct pressure and considered doing a quick ligature with dental floss.
I’m in the hospital now but only because I work here. Sigh.
No blood was drawn and I have no photo documentation. I have only a short anecdote to relate.
Yesterday as I was shaving, I had both my hands up near my face. My left was being used as stretcher and my right was wielding the razor.
I lowered my hands to about chest level so that I could assess the the shave in progress and the razor in my right hand crossed the fingertips of my left hand, making contact. I felt the blade cross the tip of my middle finger. There was no pain, so I was not particularly alarmed when I glanced down to see what was what.
The blade had smoothly trimmed the nail on my middle finger in a half-moon slice right down short of the quick. No drag, no cut half-way and stop... Just ZIP... straight through with no effort whatsoever.
I looked down and saw the section of the nail gone, and then looked into the basin and there it was.
I imagine I stood for a minute or so looking back and forth between the separated portions of my nail thinking that I was lucky not to be bleeding profusely from a severed fingertip.
Anyway, finished the shave and pared the nail to something like normal.
Lesson learned.

This thread is a good reminder. Safety First :)

I have a few irregularities on my neck that I knick just about every shave. Never bad, just a touch of color on the clean off cloth. Its all good.
