a simple recommendation-WARNING not for the faint of heart

(don't say I didn't warn you-besides I have no idea how to make a "spoiler"
when shaving with a straight razor...and going atg....do NOT get cocky and let the razor skip...keep the skin taut or this may well happen




ps- I finished the shave ...blood and all...NOTHING gets in the way of a good shave

Could have been worse.

Pfft, that won't even leave a scar

Just kidding, nice pic though!

Ouch... That looks painful.

It happens. Got to pay attention, even when you have been doing it forever.

That being said, the rest of your face looks like you got a great shave, so that's a plus! You just got a tad close in that one spot...

Ouch. At least your ear is still attached

Brother!

We don't see any teeth through the wound so its not that bad.

Meh.

I've had worse paper cuts.

Hope you feel better soon.
Don't give up, it's bound to happen from time to time.
Slow down, focus.
Good luck.

Wow! Got yourself good there.

Enjoy the healing process!

I had to check my Bible, Ezekial 5:1. Sure enough, it's in there. Cool

Yikes! Well, the razor did give you a Zen awakening. The slice of awareness.

I am a novice at STR8's and still get various nicks and slices.

This is why Porkpie will never try straight razors. My EJ DE is my forever friend.

it impressed the kids PLUS I had to go to the oldest ones Blue And Gold Cub banquet tonight
.....bad timing all around

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

Number 1 reason why I'm too scared to use a straight LOL.

Ah, the old "Red Badge of Courage" for the Blue and Gold banquet. Very cleaver!

I did debate going as is (sans any cloting thing like a styptic) and seeing if the kids knew first aid.

Freudian Slip? Or clever use of Cleaver?

Not too bad! There's always one of those one day or another!
