Cringe Worthy Shaving Moments

Cringe Worthy Shaving Moments


Do you have a shaving story that still makes you go "yeahhhhhhhhhh"

*shudder*



Let's hear it!

 

I have had those types of shaves recently where everything seems to go wrong. I somehow sliced my upper lip due to a tremor in my hand, set the blade on my skin (a feather no less) and there my hand goes twitching to the side. SLICE.

3/4 inch long perfect slice that bled like a stuck pig. Put some stypic on it just so I could finish the shave and about put my first through the plaster wall lol...


*CRINGE*

 

From @Bama Samurai

 

I saw an aftermath pic of a first time DE user who couldn't not mishandle a blade. Sliced himself no less than 3 times on his fingertips. Blood everywhere. He was all like "this is stupid and dangerous I'm never trying it again"... Lol!

*CRINGE*

 

I'll tell the one that I told in the other thread. No, it's not about me - it's from a member on another forum that ended up doing this.

He bought a razor from online. Old, scruffy-looking vintage thing.
He gets it and soaks it in some warm water and soap and then takes a small rag and starts to rather feverishly rub the head of the razor with the rag...
Unfortunately, he didn't see that the razor still had an old blade in it...that was very much exposed...
As he rubs the razor quickly back and forth the blade 'deli-slices' his thumb 4-5 times deeply...

Moral of the story: check your old vintage razors for a blade!

 

I would have reached for the carts after the second cut...

 

I've sliced my index finger before by not paying attention when removing a blade from my DE razor. It wasn't to the bone or anything but hurt like heck... only took a week to heal to the point I could remove the band-aid.

 

Sweet Jesu...

*CRINGE *

 

That's a good way to inoculate yourself against about 10 blood born diseases. Lol

 

I really am cringing reading some of these... ugh...

 

Just wait until there's a straight razor related one...

 

NO!!!!!!!

 

Or a "man-scaping" *ahem* related one.

 

You shave with your straight razor...just out of the shower...your hand slips and you drop the razor straight down...........

 

I know my luck. If that had been me I would have found out that the razor had come from West Africa and had been used as a communal razor in the Ebola ward.

 

No need to call the Mohel! OY VEY!

 

Omg LOL!

 

I actually have a cringe moment similar to this.

I was removing my Joseph Allen straight blade from my dopper bag, it was pending scales being made so it was just the blade wrapped in paper. My hand slips and it falls straight down narrowly missing my feet... And breaks off at the tang. A 120+ year old blade gone just like that. *sniff *

 

That's a very sad story... glad you weren't hurt, but if it had hit your foot you might still have an intact blade.... and a permanent gimp foot.

 

I once wrapped an old DE blade neatly in a paper towel and after my shave grabbed the paper towel and proceeded to wad it up in my hand into a ball, forgetting there was a blade inside. You can fill in the rest.
