A man who sued a razor company after cutting himself while shaving with one of their products has been handed £5,000 in compensation.
Nick Silverthorn, 48, from London, bought himself a new razor during the Christmas holidays.
He said he visited his local Sainsbury’s in Richmond to buy a £2.50 Wilkinson Sword Men Advance 3 razor
But when Mr Silverthorn unwrapped his purchase and began shaving on Boxing Day, he started “bleeding badly.”

He said: “I put on the hot tap and my shaving lotion and I was on autopilot.
“I started shaving on one side with one stroke and then another stroke on the other side.
“I noticed after a few seconds that I had started bleeding badly on my left cheek and then on my right-hand side as well and before I knew, it was streaming down my face.”
Nick, who has been shaving for decades, said these felt different from the usual cuts suffered while shaving.
The gardener even suffered nightmares for months following the incident.
He said: “I had a bad experience with operations and blood in the past and it took me straight back and I kept seeing blood on my face in my dreams. It was a bad time for me.”
