Well now you know where to document them and show picturesWish I hadn't seen this thread. I am prone to these kind of mishaps. [emoji3525]
Never thought I’d be coming to this thread, to talk about my own injuries.... but here I am, absolutely rocking it!
It all started off fine, Shave 17 of my one blade February challenge. I had been using my Parson’s soap, but decided to change it up today and use something I got from @Dave in KY in a trade. (Yes, I blame you Dave). I decided to use my new Declaration Grooming soap, and as I discovered it is no where near as slick as the Parson’s soap. And apparently I did not adjust my technique to that fact. As a was coming down my cheek, I was doing a j-hook type movement and caught an edge at the cheek/upper mouth area. And oddly enough, I was using my Yuma, which is the mildest razor ever. Never thought I’d ever cut myself with this razor.
And boy howdy, this was a major cut. Bled instantly. I had no idea except for the blood, because I didn’t feel a thing. That’s a testament to my blade still being insanely sharp, despite having over 15 shaves on it. When I wiped away the lather, I saw just how deep the cut was..... holy cow! I’ve never cut myself that bad shaving.... ever! Not even with a straight razor. It’s insane. I still cannot believe this happened. Took forever to get the bleeding to stop.
Click only if you dare.....

Oh my, what have I done?
After wiping away the lather.
The piece of skin I filleted off my face!
After getting some of the bleeding to finally stop.

That's a good one, KJ. Looks like you might have pulled parallel to the blade starting your J-hook.

Mine caught me totally by surprise and was the worst ever. I also had a flap and had to remove the skin so it would heal. I accepted responsibility though and didn't blame others 
I KNEW I shouldn't have traded with KJ....... he's never happy with what he trades for........side note: I never had trouble with DG slickness. That's a rough one. Hope it heals quickly

Worst cut by a blade (any type) I’ve ever gotten yesterday night...and I wasn’t even shaving or playing with swords!
Couldn't take an immediate picture, because I had to stem the flow and let the body do it’s thing overnight. But I received this just emptying out my Dopp kit for the week. It was late, I was tired, and I foolishly kept my assembles razor in one hand while holding open the kit for the other hand to grab something, drew my hand out...and right down the length of the Feather in the Tech. Ouch!
About an inch long cut, with about a cm skin flap that will hopefully heal back in place. It was weeping pretty good last night.

Yes, I guess “corking” blades on skin is not ideal...
