Just when I thought I had my technique down...

These days I use the straight probably 8 out of 10 shaves. Pretty confident with my technique but, apparently this morning was not my day.

The Dovo bit me, good. Nice 1 inch slice on my right cheek :ashamed001

Good thing I didn't throw out the styptic.

 

Hope that is the "length" and not
........"Depth" of the gash !
Sorry about the war wound, Mike.
Heal quickly !

 

yowsers! That hurts me just thinking about it. get better soon.

 

Sorry, to hear that Mike. Bet you didn't put any aftershave on this morning. Heal up quick.

 

Take care Mike, I don't think toilet paper would have worked on that one.
Sorry to hear about that but we all have those days!

 

Tell your friends you dropped your guard while fencing.

BTW, late notice I know, but I'll be in Austin this afternoon, will be visiting "the toy store" while I'm there!

I was just there last night for an hour or two. You gotta give me more heads up next time!

Tell him I said to hook you up with some of the new paste, you'll love this stuff.

 

Wow. Sorry to hear it, Mike! I haven't done that in...oh, two or three days! :rofl (Actually, I "got" myself like that about a week ago. Not quite as big, but right on my chin.)

 

Yeah.
All these horror stories involving Straights is reeeeeeeelly making me wanna try one.
I'm ugly enuff AS-IS.
No need for scar tissue to worsen the sitch :mad:
Y'all can keep 'em ! :rofl

 

What did you get me??????

Dude back away from the Dovo. I will pick it up Friday for proper "disposal"
Don't forget to put some Neosporin for quick healing. I will say to get back on the horse tomorrow morning and shave around it for a couple of days until it heals. Don't forget the Neosporin.

women like men with scars!!! besides you can cut yourself with a DE or injector.

You know you want to try it

You felt the edge on that Bismark I have, that thing is wicked sharp. Maybe I should cork it

 

I think you should just drop the weapon, put your hands up and face the shave mirror. A nice person from the WDU (Weapon Disposal Unit) will be along shortly to remove the item in question.

 

The damage 12 hours later:

 

I'll try! The three of us definitely need to have dinner together. ::

Got a sample of the paste, plus "Da Puck" and some of the experimental "finishing" stuff CAR says you like. :drool

Ow...seeing the visual makes me cringe. You got me beat!

 

I do want to say that your face does look smooth

 

:rofl
Glad you still have a sense of humor.

 

I called mine "fencing scars" for the benefit of my 2 boys when they were just yutes....LOL...now they're all growed up 'n know better....but last laugh
my Grandson "bites" on that kind of stuff...I love the fact that he really "thinks" Pampaw made all his money wrassling Alligators

 

Ouchhhhhhhh-----I was going to use my Bismarck tomorrow. Now, I'm scared to.
