* ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'': Opus cuts himself shaving in one mini-arc and is advised to use toilet paper; however, since he ended up putting massive cuts in his GagNose with no signs of bleeding, the toilet paper doesn't really help him.

If they cut themselves shaving, it's either [[RuleOfFunny the set-up for a gag]], or to contribute in some way to CharacterDevelopment. And if there is blood, There Will Be Toilet Paper - typically applied to the cuts in tiny ripped squares. Sometimes the shaving scene is cut and we skip directly to a shot of the man with bits of toilet paper stuck to his face with dried blood. Expect the DeadpanSnarker to snidely comment on the character's poor shaving job.

* In ''Film/HomeAlone'', Kevin tries to shave at one point. That is to say, he slathers on shaving cream, scrapes it off with a razor, then applies aftershave. Judging from his immediate scream (and iconic hands-pressed-to-face pose), he didn't do a perfect job. On the other hand, it could just be the feel of the aftershave on his newly-shaven skin that hurts.

* Near the end of one episode of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'', Lumpy tries to cover a bad case of DangerouslyCloseShave (specifically, [[BlindMistake The Mole]] scrapped off ''every last bit of skin from below his chin to just above his nose'') by putting a tissue over some of the exposed muscle. An IrisOut focuses on it just before the paper goes completely red.

* In the 2000 film adaptation of ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', it's revealed as part of the Grinch's [[CharacterDevelopment background story]] that he hates Christmas because most of the other children at the school gift exchange -- [[ValuesDissonance and even the teacher]] -- laughed at his less-than-stellar attempts at shaving, which he did to try to impress Martha May. He was always something of an outcast, mind, but this was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

** Happens offscreen episode "The Big Problem," where Timmy wishes to be an adult. He thinks shaving will be fun... And then we hear the screams of pain. And then [[TheDitz Cosmo]] suggests he try some "manly cologne." More offscreen screaming.

* In ''The Devil And Max Devlin'', Max Devlin cuts himself shaving because he can't see his reflection after he came back from the dead in order to get three souls for the Devil, so he ends up having toilet paper bandages. One of the people he has to get a soul from gives him an electric razor.
