WARNING - Don't be cheap when choosing a razor.
« on: June 30, 2007, 07:54:54 AM »
OK, I know the title may seem a bit dramatic, but I had to share my story from yesterday. The lovely Ms. Schro & I were going out for the night (lots of MILFS in attendance), so I needed to get cleaned up. Shower, shave, choose ideal aloha shirt for the event, etc. etc.

Well it came time to shave so I applied the HeadSlick to the face & dome, got out the HB Classic and shaved the dome without issue. I then realized I was out of cartridges for my Schick Extreme3. No biggie, I had a couple of disposable Atras (or something equivalent). I touched up around the ears without issue and then started on my face (I forgot how much better a non-disposable is). Well, as I was shaving right at the jaw line, I felt a little tug/nick. I didn't think much of it, as it didn't bleed for a good 30 seconds or so. But then it bled, and bled, and bled. and f**kin' bled a little more! WTF was going on?  :Xo!

I applied pressure, used a ton of tissues and band aids, and the little f**ker wouldn't stop. When I got dressed, I put on a red golf shirt instead of my normal attire for a very good reason. I then went to the store to get some $ and some Extreme3's and the check out gal said, "Uh, you might want to check your neck". I then went to the store's john, looked in the mirror, and saw a stream of blood from the jaw line to the base of my neck. I also had a pea size spot of blood on my sunglasses that was resting on the collar of my golf shirt. I also had to change my shirt. So, I had to go through the tissue thing again!!!

When the wife and kids returned from their tae kwon do classes, they looked at me with a folded paper towel taped (yeah, I said taped) to my face in amazement. I then went to pick up the babysitter after putting on a band aid (about a 5 minute drive). By the time I got there, the band aid was already complete saturated.

After a 20 minute procedure of gauze, cotton and finally application of liquid skin, we finally got that thing to stop bleeding.
Although we were late for the party (extremely high quality MILF quotient  O0 O0), the rest of the night was a lot of fun.

I know, a lot of unnecessary info. I just want the SBG's to strongly consider the above when you're buying replacement razors. I am never, ever, ever ....... fu*kin' ever using a disposable again!

Enjoy your Saturdays dudes (and dudettes).

Ouch!!  :-[

While I never had a problem quite that bad, I learned the hard way a long time ago not to skimp on razors.  About 3 years ago when I was really trying to conserve cash, I bought a huge package of Bic disposable razors at BJ's, thinking that they couldn't possibly be that different from the Mach III.  Wrong!
I got my first nicks ever on my dome using one of those and what was not nicked or cut did not stay smooth very long.  I still have a few of those razors left.  I use them to shave around the outline of my goatee, because the Mach III is too bulky for that.  But I don't let them near my dome or use them for any other purpose.

BTW, what is an MILF?

WOW what a story.  Hope I never run into anything like that.  I can imagine what everyone was thinking when they seen you walkin thru the store with blood tricklin down your neck.  I would have told them it was special effects..that i was an actor in some horror movie. LOL

Damn!!!  Ouch bro.  Sorry to hear about that Schro.  I've had some similar things happen to me when trying out a "cheapo."  I guess we all have to learn the hard way.  We all have that thought, "How bad can a cheaper razor be?"  F#@%ing bad!!!  Hey Schro, just pour an extra Schrotini to ease the pain.  ;D  `Dr!n#  O0

Definitely not the way to start an evening of fun there schro.   But being the obvious trooper glad to see it didn't stop ya.   O0  Next time you get a bad one try putting pressure on with an ice cube and then the stiptic pencil.  I have to take a blood thinner which can make the littlest nick bleed like hell and that always works for me.

I'm always on the lookout for some hot MILFs!  I nicked my ear the other day, had a similar time as Schro.  Tried every trick in the book to stop the bleeding, hydrogen peroxide was the last thing I put on the cut and it finally quit.  Not sure if the peroxide done it, or maybe the blood supply to the ear was depleted, since it had bled for over an hour.

Brutal Schro!  I hate when that happens; it always does at the least opportune time!  So, back to the MILFs.... >:D

And Medic, it doesn't take a cheap razor to do the ear damage.  Those suckers are hard to stop.  When I've had that happen, I didn't even feel anything.


Don't worry Razor, you're not the only one who didn't have a clue on that one.  I just learned the other day from my kids that cool doesn't mean cool anymore.  It now means Constipated Overrated Out of Style Loser.  I guess we should all just stick to being called SLY.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

It's a generational thing. Cool is Cool, period.  8)
But you're right Stew, being SLY is just fine.

Oh yeah, I nicked my ear the very first time I used the HeadBlade (not done that since). Those suckers do bleed.

That's the problem.  We date ourselves when we use a term, not realizing that the definition has changed.
