Almost sliced my thumb off with a dull clipper blade last Tuesday

Was doing a fade on a regular client in my chair in Brooklyn when my clipper snagged and jumped. The blade was dull as hell and I didn't notice until it caught his hair wrong and skipped right across my thumb. Blood everywhere, had to stop the cut and put a bandage on, then use a backup clipper to finish. Anyone else ever get cut up bad from not replacing blades on time?

That dull blade yanked my arm so hard I nearly dropped the clippers.

Wait did you always feel that way about dull blades? Cause I used to think people were just complainin until I grabbed a pair that was way past due for sharpening and it nearly ripped my wrist off. Total game changer for me.

Yo I feel you on that one, but you actually got the date wrong - last Tuesday was a week ago, not this week. That cut must still be healing though, dull blades are no joke. I've had a clipper jump on me before and it's wild how much force a cheap blade can throw when it catches wrong. I always check my blades before every cut now, learned that lesson the hard way. Hope your thumb is doing better by now.
