Thread: My first shave -> gusher..

I'm not *that* kind of doctor, so please don't take my advice over that of anyone who actually knows what he/she is talking about.

I would leave it there but keep an eye on it for infection. Did you clean it out after the slice? If so, hopefully it will just heal up nicely. I suspect removing the flap will increase your chance for a badass scar.

My advice would be stay well away from the chin not just until it heals up, but until you're fully comfortable on the 'easy' bits (sideburns, cheeks) using a straight. The tricky, round, and hidden bits all take extra attention as you have discovered, which is why I think it is a good idea to avoid them at first.

But stick with it - it gets easier!
