Note to self:

[Skippii]

After shaving, and admiring the job you did in the mirror of cutting all the hairs off your face with minimal blood drawn....

...do NOT grab a towel and wipe the shave soap off you face with the open razor blade still in your hand.
It does not improve the the blood to hair removal ratio.

 

[Arrow]

YIKES!.......Was it a bad one?

 

[Drybonz]

Ohhhhh my gosh... are you ok?

A couple weeks ago I was done shaving and was moving my hand from left to right in front of my face to wipe a bit of lather off my right ear and I got too close just under my left ear on the way across. I caught myself with the razor (still in my hand) sideways and left a nice cut.

Pretty minimal but I still felt like a big dummy.

 

[bananaman]

Ouch !

 

[Bit2]

Ouch!

I hope you're alright.

 

[RayH]

I bet the feeling of stupidity felt worse than the cut(s). I know that is how it is when I do something stupid.

 

[Skippii]

Indeed, I wasn't really hurt--mostly just shaved off a few hairs off my eyebrow. It's such a stupid thing to do, though...and thinking how close I came to removing an eye makes me shiver.

 

[fisherbln]

Glad you weren't too cut up. I guess you'll be setting the razor down from now on, eh?

 

[tpoof]

hope your not using a straight razor!

 

[_JP_]

I winced, I squirmed, I even whimpered.

I cachinnated

 

[Skippii]

I was.

 

[DFrancis]

Well, you didn't poke out your eye and now that is a mistake you will sure not to make again.

 

[El Judio Bravo]

Whoa! That's a lesson hard-learned! <Sigh!> We're none of us cut-proof; it goes with the territory.

Carry on!

I cringed. Glad you're okay - the 'close call' happens to each of us as some point. It's really just a matter of averages. Given that most men are near and using a razor every day for their adult lives, accidents are bound to happen.

Last week, while home ill, I walked into the bathroom as my wife was getting ready in the morning. My 2-year-old was there, and had casually grabbed my razor/brush stand in order to get the brushes. Of course, there was a NEW w/blade and a Boker straight on the stand, as well. This did not seem to concern my wife (who was busy styling her hair), but I can assure you, it was all the warning I needed to find a new place for keeping the razor/brush stand. Everyone was uninjured, but I thought for a second my son might have gotten his theoretical average accident out of the way early. Very, very early.

 

[Timbit]

Uggh! I suddenly get the infamous Un Chien Andalou image in my head...

Shudder!

 

[workingdog]

Stamping my feet, gritting my teeth and clenching my fists here. That could've been much worse

 

[icedoverfire]

Ack! Glad to hear you're all right!

Never mind the fact that I just read an account elsewhere of what we shall call... erm... "bilateral enucleation"......

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Note to self: Never, under any circumstances, let Skippii wipe the lather from my face with a towel.

Glad you're OK.
