I once cut my thumb on a rotary slicer

[Orrex]

Cut it almost to the bone, but direct pressure for about 45 seconds stopped the bleeding enough that I could get a bandage on the injury. No problem.

So why, when I just barely cut myself shaving, does it bleed for sixteen hours?

1. You seem to be accident prone Orrex. What's up with that?

[Orrex]

2. It was the slicer's fault.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.


Anyway, it was a long time ago. I was young and needed the money.

[In_The_Wind]

3. Yep. The stuff I did when I was young still amazes me.

This morning I held the door for someone who failed to realize that it was my sig-line. [img][/img]

How is your face feeling now?
I'm so glad that I don't need to shave but I still enjoy watching a man shave his face.

[Orrex]

6. Wait... Is this one of those "does your face hurt?" jokes?

Because it's killing me! Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

The bleeding has stopped at long last, though I may use it as an excuse to explain my appearance of light-headedness through the rest of the day.

10. No. I am/was not joking on your thread.

Clearly I am an alpha_female who truly loves self respecting alpha_males.
I enjoy their company. Do you have any essential oils hanging around?

[Orrex]

12. All I have are non-essential oils.

Thoroughly dispensable.

Will essential oils stop my facial hemorrhaging?

[In_The_Wind]

13. Oil of Lavender will stop bleeding and the pain.

Go to a good health food store and ask for something comparable to young living oils. The way an oil is harvested is very important. The wrong oil can do harm because the toxins will also be absorbed into your skin.

14. Interesting!

I can check at a small place in my town. I don't lacerate myself all that often, but every little bit helps.

Thanks!

15. While you are there buy: Bach Rescue Remedy.

Those two will help anyone with cuts and bruising.

4. More blood vessels.

Also, I bet you were able to apply more pressure to that thumb than you are to any facial cut!

[Orrex]

5. Spare me your hocus pocus!

Blood vessels, schmood vessels! We're talking simple acreage here! A 1.5-inch cut vs. a nigh-invisible nick!

Dammit!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

7. Hey, look on the bright side...

you could had made a 1.5-inch cut just under your chin!

[Orrex]

8. That's ridiculous

I never let my face get anywhere near the slicer!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

9. Oh! Too bad...

shaving with a slicer is a true test of skill and...courage!

[Orrex]

11. And you can slice your cheek into such thin, delicious portions!

Yum!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

17. sauteed in a bit butter...

with mushrooms and a hint of garlic...delicious indeed!

[siligut]

16. It doesn't make sense

Considering that your thumb is lower than your heart and your face is almost to the top of your head, your thumb should have more blood due to simple gravity

What does your head need blood for anyway?

Just stick a piece of toilet paper on that nick, but don't forget to gently peel it off before you leave the house.

[siligut]

18. And I bet this is why those alum pencils are such skeptics

[IMG][/IMG]

They can't believe that such a little cut could bleed so much either

[cliffordu]

23. Super glue.

Works like a charm

[talkingmime]

19. Capillaries. Soak a tissue in really cold water and apply it. It helps.

The wads of tissue on the face don't do a damn thing. They just look silly. Cold will stop it. I've got capillary extrusions on my nose. Just blowing the damn thing can start them bleeding. I've learned to adapt.

[tonekat]

20. So did your customer

for whom you were slicing say "Hey, you can't fool me! I see your thumb on the scale!!"?

[Orrex]

21. Nice post, Fonebone.

[olddots]

22. When I cut myself shaving .........

I immediately apply salt and lemon juice then go for some nipple clamps then have Mistress Sarah belittle me .
It may be about more blood vessels in your face ask Mistress Sarah .

[Dr. Strange]

24. Because you're not shaving with the rotary slicer.

Despite the fact that I suggested you do so. Multiple times.

25. Styptic pencils are f-u-n, so much I went electric shaver!
