All depends if your significant other sees how much money your spending on it !
I'm infrequent here, only being on my 4th week with a straight. I will disagree with you on the above. While it is certainly possible to cut yourself with a SE or DE razor, you won't sever nerves, tendons or major vasculature.That can (and does) happen with a safety razor.
How dangerous are straight razors? As I have never used one myself and might want to get one in the future I'd first like to know how dangerous the can be for novices like me. I mean can you do serious damage to your face if your not using it correctly or is the worst like a nick like from another razor?
Unless you straight-shave WHILE driving (or carpooling) to work.Less dangerous than your daily drive to work, actually much less dangerous.
A bit of cursing, some cold water, I was good to go.
i cut my self more with "safety razors" than i do with straights...
Don't shave naked. Minimum, slippers and a towel.
Oh crap your a pirate now matey, thats a 15yearer if not lifetimer- dang- i would not call it idiotic selfishness , you just got taggedThese razors can be extremely dangerous if you are not careful. This laceration is about a week old...
This cut was pretty bad, and due to my own stupidity of not closing my door while shaving as it tends to get too hot and I start to sweat, SWMBO's 90 pound Boxer tore *** through my bedroom and into my bathroom in shear excitement as I was mid shave, as they arrived for a stay over the weekend. The dog leaped up on me while I was stretching my skin to shave the bit of sideburn under my ear, consequently causing the razor to slip and gauge into my neck. This cut is about an inch and a half long and bled badly. I felt faint and my girl was about to call an ambulance because of how much blood was pouring from my neck. I stopped the shave, splashed cold water on my neck and immediately started digging a styptic pencil into it out of sheer panic...
The point being, no matter how long you have been using these blades, you have to be smart, due to my own idiotic selfishness of not wanting to start sweating after a shower, I will be left with a pretty gnarly scar on my neck...
