Title says it all. My stepdad got me a safety razor for my 18th birthday because I always thought they looked cool. I don’t think I expressed any interest in learning how to use one other than, “The videos on TikTok make it look easy and cool,” but he still got me a nice $55 kit for my birthday. After getting out of the shower today, I realized that I didn’t have any razor carts in the drawer and I needed to shave. Then I remembered, “I could try that safety razor.” After looking up how to load it, I just assumed it was like a normal razor and applied my shaving cream and the first few strokes went great. Definitely felt strange having a single razor, but it was fine. Then, it caught just off the edge of my lip and sliced the bitch open, bleeding all down my chin and all over the sink and floor. For ten minutes, I’m trying to stop the bleeding from that cut by lip and a smaller one that I didn’t even know happened. 15 minutes later, both cuts stop bleeding and I just abandon the shave and went to the store to buy more cartridges. Definitely not my proudest moment.

TLDR: I used a safety razor and sliced my face because I didn’t use it right.
