Hi Matt. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Just generally, how do those cuts come about? Does the blade stop moving and dig in? Are they mainly from against the grain passes?

They look like they should heal up OK in a few days or so. Don't know how often you shave, but it might be a good idea to hold off until they heal.

Ah, I had long hair once - those were the days. Then I became as bald as a badger at a barber's convention....

James.
