    I had some cuts for the first 2-3 months. One was a bad one that left a nice scar that now adds "character" to my right cheek. After that it has been clear sailing. It takes a bit of time to "master" the razor, but when you do,,,,,WOW!!!! WHAT A NICE SHAVE....

    I remember it perfectly, as if it happened today.


    Oh, wait.... It did happen today, about 7 hours ago.

    Getting ready for work today was my first good shave with absolutely no nicks or razor burn. Up until today (almost 2 weeks) every shave has had a little of one or the other, but less and less every day.

    Can't help out, 'cos I can't remember either. It was a couple months into it though. Luckily nothing serious before then. I think the last area that needed attention was just below my nose.

    My first straight shave was bloodless -- I took the
    advice of many folks here and started slowly, and
    only shaved WTG on my cheek and sideburn area.

    That is, for the first pass I did actually finish my
    first shave WTG on my whole face. No blood, and
    not particularly close either. Still, there was this
    amazing feeling...

    I think mine was about 2 weeks in, I remember thinking a few times 'no blood!' and promptly nicking my self several times just to make up for it.

    I do still nick my self with some regularity, but at least now I'm getting smooth comfortabel shaves with the odd nick, rather than razor burn with several - if that makes sense.

    My shaves were bloodless for the first month.

    Then I bought a Friodur that was sharper than anything I had used. I had blood running down both sides of my face and didn't even know it. That was when I learned about what sharp is and how not to use too much pressure.

    I had a grin from ear to ear with blood running down my face.
    You can't beat that education!

    I don't get nicks or cuts often, and most of the time it's because of small acne.

    Acne => blade => blood.

    It doesn't count.. right? (since it would bleed with any razor, even electric)

    I have agile musician hands, might help

    I am with Cybrok. Acne does not count,


    I got a good shave yesterday. Only two weepers, but they were acne spots.

    All of my previous shaves ended up with scratches on my cheeks and chins.

    I am into my seventh month.

    I'd say I was about a week in. I rarely cut myself anymore unless I go over a bump.
