Sliced finger by Feather blade in wrapper

[gitira6]

Just wanted to share. I was pulling out a fresh Feather from the tuck and the blade cut through the wrapper and gave me a good slice. I never had this happen before, but you would think they should be double wrapped like a GSB or something, especially for how sharp they are.

That sucks. That possibility and the super wax dots are annoying. Sorry to hear that.

 

[ItsTaz]

Ouch, sorry you went through that. Hope you heal quickly.

 

[BSAGuy]

Yeowee!! Good cautionary tale. Hope you are healed up soon.

I always wonder when that's finally going to happen to me, especially with the feathers. Don't know why they use SO MUCH wax. Sometimes it's super difficult to get a finger nail under to get a corner to pick up.
How it wasn't too bad.

Sometimes removing the blades from those wax dots can be a pain. I was bit once but not badly.

 

[fast shaver]

Yep... I take it slow & easy when I unwrap a blade.

Never hold a blade by the cutting edge even when wrapped.

 

[BigJ]

Sorry! These blades need respect from when you first look at the package!

i had the same thing happen a month ago...first time its ever happened.
i have decided that i dont like the wax dots on the blade either so once my feathers are gone...they wont be returning.
same thing goes for gillette blue...dont like the wax.

gonna be wax free blades whenever i have to buy more blades in probably 3 years.

Yeah, call me crazy, but that's SOP with any sharp-edged tool.
