Well, I guess I might as well recount my own shaving incident. Happened years ago. Not particularly funny, either.
Back when I was still living at home (this would make it at least ten years ago, now), I used to go with one of the regular straight-edge razors, and when I say "straight-edge" I don't mean one of those old-fashioned flip blade razors, but the modern-day style.
Anyway, it just so happens the day this occured was the very first day I'd ever tried using shaving gel. Up to that point I just put the razor to my face. Sure, after I'd be done my face would be rather noticeably irritated (that aftershave hurt like a b****), but I didn't had a problem with that. I'd just splash some cold water on my face afterward. Finally, someone convinced me to try shaving gel.
So, I applied a layer of it to my face and began shaving. I hadn't gotten into it too far when the razor slipped on the shaving gel and slid off the right corner of my jaw at an angle. I felt a sudden stab of pain, then noticed the large splatter of blood on the side of my face.
I'd cut off the corner of my jaw; the piece measured about a centimetre thick by three centimetres long.
Let me tell you, that shaving gel stung like hell in the wound. Anyway, I quickly dropped the razor in the sink, grabbed a towel and wiped off the rest of the gel, then washed my face clean, put some peroxide on the wound to disinfect it (I was jumping around the bathroom for a bit after that) and put some gauze over it to stem the blood flow.
And there you have it. That's my shaving incident. Kinda messy, and really painful. Haven't gone back to a straight-edge since. Use only an electric shaver. Although, I am seriously considering going back to the former, as I find an electric razor just doesn't me as clean of a shave as I'd like.
