I figure we need one since we track everything else.
Nick and Weeper Log

I almost never cut myself with a DE. Only with a Bic or injectors. Usually the injector cuts are tiny and stop bleeding immediately after the shave.
Same, I never cut myself with a DE, but I have with a DE blade in a shavette style razor. Could be the angle or something else, but the 'bite' felt like a sting. With the SE I don't feel it but I see blood. Never a crazy amount, the alum stops the bleeding. Doesn't even scab over. But they technically are 'nicks' I believe.
Nicks and weepers are highly unusual these days!!
User error is the culprit when bleeding occurs around here.

I got the underside of my nose yesterday. Something i hadn't done in awhile. I absolutely hate hitting that spot.

I got a small scratch on my neck. It was the 52nd shave on an Astra SP. I binned the blade after because it was missing too many whiskers.
@GaryTha have you tried the Astra SS? I know you're not much into variety, but interested to know how they hold up to the Excaliber style.

I haven't used them, but I see them doing well on the Excalibur thread.
Thanks, I'll have to check that thread out. The concept is interesting, not sure if I'm going to try to set any records, though.
My last nick was ages ago, weepers occur occasionally from “overshaving” or an uncharted blemish...
I get a weeper now and again being careless around a scarred area by my mouth, and another area on my neck. Haven’t had a cut or nick since I tried using my Blackbird after imbibing a bit too much...
And it was a good one. Lol

I was wondering when that blade was going to give out. I have a blade in my DE in the 20s and I got a rough shave last shave. But it could've 100% been me, so I'm going to push it another shave in the future and see how it holds up. I'm currently working a GEM Super Stainless up there though, so it'll be a while. It's barely on shave number 3.
Hardly ever get nicks and weepers. I see no point in charting rare occurrences where technique slips or the shave is rushed.
This. Today. Bad one wouldn’t stop bleeding. Has been awhile so I guess had to make up for lost time. Still hurts.
Cut the back of my neck today; so wrong!
Wife was critical of haircut growing out ... I have no time for a trim, so tried shaving a blind spot.
Ay, el dolor!
Never change your routine...

If it isn't bleeding or oozing when I finish my shave, it never happened. As we all know DE blades shave so well, we may be shaving off a scab's crust.
