I hate paper cuts too, but last week I had a glass tube-style solar panel (yes the kind that go on a roof and measures about 12 feet by 8 feet) fell off a store display and sliced my upper arm open. Made a gash big enough I could have slid my wallet in it like a pocket. Buckets of blood. Emergency room. Stitches. Ouch.

Never saw that much blood in my life. I left blood in the ER room, all over their X-ray machine, the bed, the doctor.

While they were working on me, some Mexicans were cursing and yelling in Spanish about waiting. The doc said I was the priority, I actually had a real emergency. That was nice to hear. Great ER, will go there again if I have to. :D



Consider yourself lucky, Matty.

Interesting that you managed to find out their nationality while spewing blood ;)

Pics of the aftermath?

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

What do you guys do with papercuts? If I have chap-stik or vaseline or whatever I use that if it's bothering me.

I hope you've got yourself some legal representation on this one. When I was a kid, some family friends were shopping at a hardware store, and something fell off a high shelf and struck their 4 year old in the head. He had a pretty serious injury. They got all medical bills paid for by the company, and a six figure settlement to boot.

Paper cuts suck ass. For paper cuts (and knicks when I'm shaving), I use a [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Pinaud-Styptic-Pencil-0-25-pencil/dp/B00112WRB6"]styptic pencil. [/ame]

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

I don't think I've seen a styptic pencil since I was looking at my grandfather's shaving gear after he passed.. wish I had kept some of those doubles and singles, but I was too young to know what was up at that point.

Got basketball on your mind?

I keep around some Cayenne and Myrrh Gum for any significant cuts.

I shave with DE razors and a shaving brush like your Grandpa. Blows the Derek Jeter 5-blade monstrosities out of the water in shave quality and cost of blades.

I'll see if I have anything to sell you. :D

I could even assemble a "starter kit" if you want.

Gillette used to run some sort of joint-advertising with the NBA and had displays up that mentioned less cuts and "knicks" or something like that.. idk I was around 9 or 10

Nice.. the main thing keeping me from doing it is that I really just don't grow much facial hair, I probably couldn't grow a mustache if I tried.. goatee is the only thing.. my sides just get a lil peach fuzz

You're lucky. My beard grows in so thick and fast. I get 5 o'clock shadow around 1:30pm. lol. It's annoying to have to shave every day.

haha that does suck.. I usually just hit the mustache area every day, usually without gel.. sides every few days.. then I'll grow the goatee for a few weeks, chop it off and start over F... trimming

Mine grows that fast too. A vintage DE razor will keep me smooth until the afternoon/evening. When I used cartridge razors...I'd be like sandpaper by lunchtime.

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

Everyone has a handful of images burned in their minds over the years.

One of mine is of my dad slowly licking a envelop in front of me and I could clearly see a inch and half paper cut form on his tongue as he did it. He didn't eat solid foods for a couple days. Said it hurt like hell.

absolutely! in the military, where you had to be clean shaven for MP duty, I shaved, went to the first inspection passed, and then had a second inspection about an hour and a half later, and this new desk sergeant told me to go back to the barracks and shave. I was like wtf! now that I'm out, I don't shave unless some very special event comes up.

Otherwise,

Papercuts suck too!

Ha, you should've stashed some Nair in the barracks.

For the thick beard guys... against the grain or with? If i go against, i'll break out like nobody's business. Haven't done it since the Navy...

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

With the grain, against and you're definitely asking for trouble

[quote=BleedBurgundy;691808]For the thick beard guys... against the grain or with? If i go against, i'll break out like nobody's business. Haven't done it since the Navy...[/quote]

I tried against the grain once. And only once. My face was covered in red bumps for two days. I was embarrassed to leave the house.

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

I'd never go against the grain if I grew real facial hair.. I can get away with it some on my chin.. I can go in swirls on my face if I want :D

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

I go with the grain to start and then against to finish up. But if I've used the blade a couple of times and it's not in great shape I try to avoid going against. But, now that it's playoff time I haven't shaved in over a week, and I just got past the really itchy stage so I'm good to go.

Back to the thread (sort of): What about the distant cousin of the paper cut - The crab claw cut. All the MD and VA guys here should know what I'm talking about. When you're eating blue crabs and the claw or shell cuts your hand and you get all that vinegar and Old Bay in it. That always hurts like a BITCH!

I'm the same way with shaving, you've got to be really careful against though

crab claw cuts suck too!

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

Anyone remember the scene in Jackass where they were giving themselves paper cuts by running the paper across the corners of their mouth?? Yow!! That was awful.

no s, of all the crap those ruhtards do that is up there with the stuff i just can't watch. i still have never watched the horse scene in part deux

I'm not sure I've seen any of 2

Re: F....Paper Cuts
 

[quote=Mattyk;691810]With the grain, against and you're definitely asking for trouble[/quote]

Not if you have a sharp blade and good technique. The best ones come from Israel.

I do a pass with and then one against. (re-lather for each pass of course)

My face is like a baby's bottom.


TO the electric recommendation...I've had 2 of them...feel like sandpaper afterward. I've never had a good shave from an electric.


Oh...paper cuts...yeah, I get a lot of them as an accountant. Hate them.

But, the real pain comes when you get a cleaning chemical in a paper cut. You could not even know you had a cut until you get the wrong chemical in it...then it opens up like a taco shell and turns red as it burns like Mount Wannahockaloogie erupting.

In my bartending days if I had crabs the night before then went into work the next night, I found all the little cuts on my hand really fast, all it took was the first garnished lime or lemon wedge that I reached for.
