OMG!!! Its a good thing I already had dinner! But hey, at least your okay, thats what counts and I'm willing to best you won't be stepping up the pace anytime soon. Good luck on the next one! Warm lather and bandages to you!
Please, please, please, respect your straights and slow down. They really aren't that dangerous, but they must be used with care and respect especially when beginning or you could really be in trouble. I know you're learning that from experience, but even though I'm quite experienced with a straight, if I on occasion forget to use good care and proper pace I'm still at risk of an annoying little cut somewhere. I try remind myself each time I shave that being experienced still never allows for carelessness. A gash like you got makes me concerned that ER visits could be necessary (reattach and ear, repair a partially severed nose, etc.) unless great care is exercised. Sorry about the soapbox shpiel...the picture just really got me concerned.

I doubt it would have gotten the jugular, unless it is 3x deeper than it looks.
And if it did, a little pressure, and a trip to to hospital would have taken care of it(veins don't carry the risk arteries do)
Makes mine look like a little paper cut.
