RAZOR BURN

Dear Teachers,

A: Hey buddy! what happened to your face?

B: It's a razor burn. I cut myself when I shaved this afternoon.

- I think "razor cut" is more natural than "razor burn", right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

Razor burn is irritation of the skin from shaving. It's not the same as a cut or cuts. The combination shown in B's response is not natural sounding to me.

  • Razor burn is irritation of the skin from shaving.
  • It's not the same as a cut or cuts.
  • The combination shown in B's response is not natural sounding to me.
  • It should be: It's razor burn, and I cut myself while shaving.
