Shaving after cuts

[JATake]

I was just wondering how everyone shaves a spot where they cut themselves on the previous shave? Do you guys just shave in the same spot taking extra care in that area?

Last time I shaved, I got a cut that hasn't fully healed yet. I can tell there is a slight change in surface level where my cut is. Would it be safe to shave over that spot? I don't want to recut myself and have a greater chance for a scar.

Thanks!

I thought chicks dig scars anyway

If it is a nice gash, I would avoid that area at least until the cut heals and the scab falls off. If it is a little, tiny nick, I wouldn't worry about it and I would shave right over it the next time.

Since I started, I have had one really nasty cut right below my eye. I just got careless and the razor sunk right into my cheek. I still have no idea how it happened, but it definitely left a scar.

Normally, the skin around a nick or little cut will raise. I use a little triple antibiotic on these and it helps them heal quicker. When shaving I try to either go over them very lightly or shave around them best as I can. If you put any pressure on these spots, you will feel it and it does usually make it take a little longer to heal.

Have fun,

You have hair right below your eye?

Haha!!!!

No, actually I don't and that is why I said I have no idea how it happened.

That must be quite the skin stretching technique you have there.

Shaving cuts? What are those?-har har.

It's best to just go around them for a few days.

I try to wait a few days and if the cut wasn't too bad, you should be ok...I wouldn't shave a healing cut, as it would only open it up again. If you got a Chinese grocery store in your area, you can get some PearlPowder, it's great for healing scars and smoothing them out...

I have found that if I get cut while shaving WTG, it reopens no matter how careful I am the next shave, if I try to go over it WTG. What works for me is only shaving XTG in that area until it heals; the blade does not snag the cut edges that way. Yesterday I got in an early morning rush to shave in 5 minutes and actually nicked the underside of my nose! Did not even notice it until evening. And I have a mustache. Can't imagine how the blade got to my nose, since I don't shave under it. Focus, focus, or pay the price!
