Before my last AM shave, I used an asthma inhaler with a new medicine. I had used it before long ago and knew that it could make me a little shaky. The first two SR passes went fine. However, my safety SE clean up pass resulted in two weepers and a really good nick under my nose.
Moral of the story: if you are going for a close shave, you need to have Zen level steadiness in your hands.
No photo's, you don't need to see the blood.

Every inhaler the put me on gave me Parkinson hand shakes and after trying 4 different ones I just quit as they all had the same effect. I'll go back when I absolutely HAVE to but just deal with the lack of air until then....Hope you heal up Tedolph
There went my followup question... was going to ask if you could get one that doesn't have this side effect. Judging from Dave's experience, probably not. Ugh.
Again, so sorry Tedolph . 
Well there are options, but with a caveat. For years now I have been on something called Brio. It is in a plastic contraption with a sliding door. The medicine is a powder, and I can inhale it a lot better than a spray or vapor. Also, it does not have any side effects on me. The problem is that Medicare won't pay for it, and it is about $3k per year without insurance, so I went back to the medicine Medicare will pay for. So, if you have regular insurance (even through the ObamaCare marketplace) it will probably only cost about $40.00/mo. It is worth a try if you can't handle any of the other stuff.
