It must be Cut Your Chin Day. So far today, I’ve seen four people on the streets with bandages on their chins.
Effect of the full moon?
Extra-clumsy while shaving?
Tripped while jogging and landed on a broken bottle?
Play peek-a-boo with uncooperative cats?
All the cool kids wear them.
Bandages? For shaving cuts? Why, if I did that I’d go through a box of bandages in a week.
Doesn’t everyone bleed when they shave?
(Aside: the only time I was ever in Melbourne, Australia, it seems that “Have a Limb In Plaster Day” and “Have Severe Facial Acne Day” were being held simultaneously.)
If you bleed everytime you shave I think you’re doing something wrong…
ANd oddly enough, I did cut myself just a teency bit this morning, though on my neck, not chin.
Today wasn’t* “Cut Your Chin Shaving” Day – it was “Old Men in Volvos Running Stop Signs” Day. I saw three on the way to work.
I don’t know whether I’m doing something wrong, or if I’ve just got extra relief on my face, or something. I do know that in 20 plus years of shaving that I can’t find a combination of technique and razors that doesn’t cut my face. And using razors feels better than using an electric shaver - those suckers pull my hair out by the roots. Owwie! :eek:
Mercury’s in retrograde.
Accounts for the chin-cutting AND the old-men-in-Volvos-running-stopsigns.
Could it have something to do with the big sale down at the Pube Sharpening Palace?
Move the razor parallel to the surface, not perpendicular to it. That might help. 
Failing that, do what I do and only shave once a week or so. You might look a little scruffier, but the dizziness from blood loss isn’t as distracting.
Occam’s razor’s revenge?
A little bleeding when shaving is not uncommon, especially when it’s your first time. Of course, some men manage to shave vigorously their entire lives with minimal to no bleeding at all. All men are different.
Today was “I’m feeling a little shaky so I’ll use an electric razor” day
Of course, now I have razor burn.
