How did you cut your face? What did you do to clean up the blood? Did you put little bits of toilet paper on your face? Oh God, I hope you did. Why did it take so long for it to heal? What did you parents say? Why didn't anyone show you how to properly use it?

1. Was this the first time this happened? Or in other words, was this just one of many other haphazard shaving incidents?
2. What did your peers at school say/heckle?
*It wasn't really a cut, it was a burn that went deep enough to bleed.
*Damp cloth. It didn't bleed a lot. Less than a usual shaving nick for sure.
*My parents laughed and laughed and laughed.
*My dad tried, but I still pushed to hard and too long.
About 12ish. Maybe 13.
1. Well, the OP says verbatim "The first time I shaved", so yeah it was either the first time, or the time before all of the others. I can't think of anything else interesting that has ever happened to me while shaving my face. Head and arse hair, maybe, but that stuff happened way later.
2. The only comment I distinctly remember (this was in the neighborhood of 20 years ago, remember) was "What? You could shave your sack with one of those." There was a lot of general laughter at my expense, though.
I feel like an idiot! I must have overlooked the "first time I shaved" part.
So, how long did it take for the wound to heal, and related to this, how long did it take for the entire incident to blow over with your friends and family?
I can't remember how long it took to heal. A week or so, maybe?
As for blowing over, it probably never has. I moved to the opposite side of the country when I turned 18, so my exposure to people who saw me with the bloody 'stache is quite minimal.
EDIT: And bear in mind I live in the second-largest country on Earth, so when I say "moved to the opposite side of the country," I don't mean a three-four hour drive away. I mean ~6-8 hours by plane (depending on layovers, you can't make it all the way in a single flight)

According to the information, your family seems to have ribbed you the most. Surely you must have seen them during a family get-together? Have they said anything since?
I rarely see my family from out west other than when my mother comes down to visit every other year, and even then it's for a very short time. The subject doesn't come up.

I've no doubt that Bleys is simple to an extent. We all are (moreso as tots). But I do doubt this.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
Mmm.. I'd wait until Rantz and Raistlin have spoken their words of wisdom on the subject. I'll abstain. For now.
Bleys has done far dumber than this, so it's quite believable. But I don't have the usual cues to go off of (i.e., trying to making it sound like a truth or lie), because Bleys doesn't have a clear motive either way, and he also would have written both his own truths and lies. So this is a tough round. But I'm leaning truth, so I'll stick with that.

Actually, if I rolled lie, I asked a co-worker or someone other than an EoFF'er to write a lie for me on short notice. Only my true statements were written in advance.
It wouldn't be fair if I were the only one who had advance knowledge of a lie. The other changes to the normal rules weren't so much game-balancers as compensation for the fact that this round has only one statement in it.
Oh, well that might actually change my answer.

How long did you press the razor to your upper lip? Was your dad with you? If so, what did he tell you beforehand and while you were shaving?

Now I have to meta game with Bleys' colleague
