Razor blades and stickers again

Public service announcement.

familiar panic
again no blades
There's a pic from Germany showing an intact sticker with two DE blades stuck to the back of it, which doesn't make sense. How did they remove it in one piece with the blades intact?

hotrocker No, but I know what razors look like, and I can tell that Eryn isn't bleeding, she probably managed to pull away.

They'd actually be easy to conceal behind a sticker, people would just assume that it had been put on imperfectly or something. It's a horrible practice.

But the picture of Erin's hand shows a very very faint line across 3 fingers. That's a pretty big razor blade.

Also I'm in awe of Erin's powers of healing, this happened today(?), the cuts look healed already. Erin should donate some blood and bone marrow tissue for scientific research.

Am I being thick, where are the cuts on her hand?

On the very top of their middle finger. Just like a paper cut.

I have cut myself there with a razor once, tbf, - when I tried to clean it with my hand. Nothing to do with witches or Nazis though - just stupidity.

All the razor talk sounds like the kind of stuff you would learn from Antifa or something. Definitely not anything for a feminist board on a parenting forum.
Anyone who wants to look at our sticker threads will know that this kind of vile, dangerous tactic would never be condoned by anyone.
I hope the police get to the bottom of this, including getting clear statements/timeline/cctv/etc.
This is all very concerning....

Do you have lots of experience recognising different types of Razorblade cuts 404?

dermymc on the finger. I think she got lucky.

(b) a photo where I can’t really see a cut,

In fairness - once you peered at the screen hard enough, it was a pretty nasty paper cut. But ...um ... yeah - it was a paper cut. I've had ones that have bled like fuckery.

Judging from the pics here, I think it could be straight razor blades, yeah. I'm reasonably certain that the alt-right did it, I'm inclined to believe Eryn and Zoey. www.snopes.com/fact-check/deadly-playground/

I literally got a safety razor last week, shaved for the first time with it, and my legs were ridiculously smooth, apart from the (numerous) cuts. Might try epilating, but it does sound very painful.

I put the Snopes link up at 22:38. I don't know if this has ever happened or if it's just the most successful urban myth ever.

I would be very worried that statements like this might encourage some of the most extremist TRAs to actually do this kind of horrendous act, in order to blame feminists confused
Yes. These are on the side of the “debate” with a history of silencing tactics and violence, they will drop to the lowest of the low to discredit the opposition.

You seem to know a lot about razorblades 404. May I suggest an epilator? I haven’t shaved my legs for years, personally, but they’re quite good, and you get used to the pain after a while.

I've read the thread and I'm currently holding my razor, the blades are flat. That's what IO'm going off. They could be referring to straight (cut-throat) razor blades, I guess.

As in, the razor blades. It's not really something most MNetters would ever have contemplated.

Clearly it's something we learned in neo-nazi school. Were you off that day?

There must have been a bee or something. I'm really sad, I've always fancied messing round with liquid nitrogen.

@NotTerfNorCis - it’s one of the twitter links further up the thread.

Why do you know so much about this 404?

I don’t think a couple of anonymous posts on Twitter claiming cut fingers but with (a) no photo, (b) a photo where I can’t really see a cut, (c) no photo of stickers with blades, is really enough to say that anyone actually has been hurt. It does have the feel of a ‘friend of a friend said this group I don’t like are doing this terrible thing’ and I am in the sceptical camp at the moment.

Of course yes if people have been hurt that’s awful and I assume Police will find evidence if there is any to find. And I hope anyone who did such a thing could be found and prosecuted.

404NameNotFound those blades are hard to take out of the cartridge, a DE blade would make more sense.
If it ever happened, which it didn't.

They'd actually be easy to conceal behind a sticker, people would just assume that it had been put on imperfectly or something. It's a horrible practice.

Individual razor blades (the things you put on safety razors normally have about 3 blades) are actually very flat. If you can remove the blades themselves from their holders, you can do some serious damage, I'd imagine. I managed to cut myself pretty badly with a razor blade that was in the holder when I was shaving my legs, with shaving cream and everything to make it glide - if you were trying to scrub off a sticker roughly and your skin caught on one of these, it would be terrible.

PaintBySticker could you link to the photo please?
