    I always make up a good story to explain an injury to the ladies such as, I was mountain biking racing with a top 10 mountain biker and we took this one turn and........

    Yeah, I had my day in the sun!

    what? straight razor accident isn't a cool enough conversation starter?

    Proper "stories" start out "And there I was...." or "This is no s#*t...."

    Wow.... that is truly going to leave an awesome scar behind (and forever alter your fingerprints). Funny about those cuts though is that it hurts a hell of a lot more AFTERWARDS.. the cut itself was painless I assume.

    Hope you're back on your thumbs soon.

    Default E-Gad, man! Now, that's a cut!

    I don't know about beard growth differences since beginning to shave with a straight razor (since I just started in Saturday, 7/25) but, crap!, that's a heck of a slice!! My brother's a chef, and I've seen some nasty cuts he and his buddies have endured. Yours ranks right up there! Take it light, bradda.

    I remember stray hairs refusing to be cut by anything before I started straight razor shaving so if I wasn't on top of things with the electric/disposable, my stubble/early beard would be stiff and very uneven.

    If the difference in beard growth is true, I guess that means we found a side benefit of straight shaving:a way to bring in a awesome, masculine stubble/early beard look all the movies and such keep showing off?
    I have found beard growth to have slowed and become more unifrom since straight shavng, I went a full seven days between shaves (usually 3/4)
    And had the best shave that I've had for a very long time, am still a beginner and finish with the fusion
