    I don’t know what saw throat means. Razors hurt when I cut my skin normally, so if it’s not like that, then it’s not like any other cut.

      In accidents (like shaving) a razor does not hurt as it cuts because it is such a sharp straight edge. The first thing we notice is the blood not the pain. It hurts afterwards (like any other cut does). A saw hurts as it cuts because of the serated edge. But we all know what is meant by the swallowing razorblades metaphor so I regret even mentioning it.

          Nerdy AF though 🤓

          PS Nobody says “saw throat”, I just made that up. Or maybe everyone says it but they all write it as “sore throat” just to fuck with me.
