    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.

    I'm only on shave 8 or 9 so I'm still a n00b, but my first bloodless shave was #4, I think. It wasn't BBS and I finished with my Mach II, but I figure it still counts.
