    I agree sometimes it just gets you for one reason or another.

    Its all in the learning curve
    The other half was watching Dr Oz and he had a bit on kitchen cuts.
    For minor ones he noted that some eye drops (get the red out) have
    an ingredient that can stop the blood flow from minor cuts. Also ice.

    As a quick rundown on the management of "cuts" if you can find
    it on the web it is worth a look. Yep time to check the
    first aid kit.

    I agree with you guys.. just when you're feeling confident, the blade put our feet on the ground again. A couple of weeks ago I was trying to reach perfection trying a new move on my upper lip and got a wicked cut there (scyptic pencil was of great help), but the next time I tried the same move and got cut again in the same almost cured place. Now, when I shave that area, I pass through my lifetime scar with lots of respect and mock about myself trying to reach perfection with magic moves. My lesson here was "stick with what works for you and keep away from the unusual moves when it comes to an extremely sharp instrument put on your face"

    got to confident and spaced out for a split second and the cold steel reminded me that i should pay more attention and not be thinking about other things and just to relax for that 30 min or so

    I remember my first cut. I only knew it was cut because I saw the blade literally go under the skin and lift it up. Then, red pools began to fill. Flooding my chin. I thought it was pretty minor. But, it left a darn scar.

    Doesn't matter if it's broken or not, just dip a piece under the water & rub into nick or cut. I also recommend a block of alum. Works well for any nicks & weepers. I've always been bad about razor burn on my neck and the alum has all but eliminated it. I've had my block about 6 months and you can't even tell that it's been used & I use it daily to ensure no burn on the neck.

    Bamaracing8,

    These are definitely the spoor of the 'rite of passage'.

    As I have said before, when I started using a straight I looked like an extra from the movie 'Fight Club' - got some strange looks at work

    Consider them to be 'duelling scars' !

    Have fun !

    best regards

    Russ

    Sounds like you needed butterfly sutures. I am told
    that only cutmen and doctors can get them in New Jersey
    so check your local store before you need them.

    Because most razor cuts are so clean scaring can be minimized.
    Next time you have a checkup at the doctor add cut management
    to the bottom of the list of things to talk about.
