Razors
Razors and exacto knifes are very important tools.
Rule 1: Cut away from yourself. Make sure a finger or body part isn't in the path you path you are cutting. If it is hard to cut then the blade suddenly goes through, you end up cutting yourself very hard.
Rule 2: Blunt blades are more dangerous than sharp blades. With blunt blades, you use more force to cut objects and risk releasing that force and cutting yourself as mentioned above. Keep spare blades and replace them frequently, keep it sharp.
Rule 3: Store the blades with razor retracted or covered. This might sound obvious but at least one person has rummaged through a drawer to cut themselves, or leaned on a table that had an exposed blade.
I also wear safety glasses when I use blades cause I liek my eyes.
