Thread: leaving scars nicking yourself?

Skin stretching and holding is important to minimize the risk of cuts and nicks, this spot just makes it a little more important.

I havent yet shaved since because i am worried about nicking it until i am sure it is 100% healed. Because i have nicked them again in the past. And it starts the whole process over again.

Shave it cautiously and hold taut. It may be close to a year before the divot starts to disappear
