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

[msandoval858]

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 !

[bearbeard]

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

[qhsdoitall]

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

[Bronco]

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!

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.

[PalmettoB]

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.)

[rick]

No need for scar tissue to worsen the sitch :mad:

What did you get me??????

Dude back away from the Dovo. I will pick it up Friday for proper "disposal":D
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.

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

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. :D

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

[PalmettoB]

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

[IsaacRN]

I do want to say that your face does look smooth :)

Glad you still have a sense of humor.

[hyperwarp]

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

[crackstar]

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

[qhsdoitall]

I used my Dovo Ebenholz 5/8 Silver Steel Straight Razor w/Ebony Scales today and I'm a total newb. I only got one teeny tiny weeper that went away by pass 2. Feeling better now?

[PalmettoB]

Sure, Rich...rub it in... :D

[qhsdoitall]

I didn't say I shaved my whole face with it. I'm not TOTALLY insane. :D

[crackstar]

Rich, if I'd ever cut myself with any razor, it's a disaster. Even a weeper is enough for me to get queezy. Seriously, I always get terrible reactions when that happens.

Just yourself or blood on others too? How about animal wounds? A lot of people feel the same way Jeff. Perfectly understandable.

[crackstar]

just on myself, Rich--although, I was really grossed out when my brother-in-law cut himself shaving one day.

[Mottern Man]

That is what you get for angering the Velva Gods!

[msandoval858]

Update 1 month later.

Scar looks like it's gonna stick around :(

Respect your straights!

[Mottern Man]

:eek:We have the same friggin scar bro.

[Queen of Blades]

It should fade with time, Mike.

They make that Mederma stuff, to reduce the appearance of scars. I bought some, but I'm not real sure if it works.

[msandoval858]

Let me know what you think of the stuff. I don't wanna be walking around looking like the Phantom of the Shave Den ;)

[hyperwarp]

Tell that cute l'il rascal of yours that it's a "fencing" scar....Matter of honor & all that....

Or....

Ya got it "wrassling' a big/gigantic bull alligator down in Florida & that the Gator definitely got the worst of the "deal"!!! Gator's dead 'n Dad's Alive 'n kicking !

You are his Hero, so a few "battle" scars will make'ya a better Dad.

(Heck, I mean if yer gonna carrying a scar might as well make the most of it)

[Queen of Blades]

Let me know what you think of the stuff. I don't wanna be walking around looking like the Phantom of the Shave Den ;)

Well, in there lies the problem. I won't be able to tell you how well it works. Cause you are suppose to use it like 3 times a day, and I am not the type to remember to do that everyday.

Besides the stuff makes my skin itch. :ashamed001

But I can sell you the Mederma, for cheap.

[IsaacRN]

I think the scar is a true badge of honor....but im sorry you have it

120 grit sandpaper should do it. :D

Sorry to see that scar. It should diminish over time since that is a high skin renewal area. Tough to say.

[xChris]

Ahh, yes... I've gotten a few of those. They do indeed fade with time.

I'm actually in the middle of trying to make more :eek:... I've got a Feather ACD-N that I'm trying out for the first time this week. More to follow on it.
