No I didn't try to cut my throat, it is just a bad case of razor burn. I put a new Gem single edge in my 1960s Micromatic and tore the heck out of my neck.... after the first two rough passes I looked and the gap between the blade and safety bar looked too big. You guessed it the blade was not seated correctly and the corners of the blade caught me. I re-seated the blade and the rest of the shave was very smooth.
Public Service Announcement: make sure the blade is seated propperly

Thank you, please enjoy the rest of your day!
Good point, cheers !
Live and learn, my friend. Live and learn.
My occm was missing tabs, I had no idea...
my first ocmm had mere nubs for tabs.
didn't notice it at first, but later binned it on realizing. got a newer one with tabs - didn't improve matters much....

Also, make sure that the silo doors are firmly closed before each pass with your TTO safety razor.
I had a habit of shaking my razor while rinsing it, and inadvertently loosened my fatboy enough to effect the blade gap. I noticed almost immediately, but the damage was already done.
