    Default 16 years later you will still get cut!

    Just thinking of the weekend shave. Got lazy an rushed an wouldn't ya know it slice right on the crown. Nothing out of ordinary with my gear. Was using my normal head razor I have used since 99. So yup it was me. Guess it goes to show that even with experience it's still gonna happen. Just glad it's less often now.

    I feel you! Everytime I use a straight to shave my head I get a nick.
    Never happens with my Merkur slant. I will continue to try to use straight razors as I believe there's a perfect one like the slant to shave my nugget just haven't found it yet.

    Yes...must respect the blade. My worst cuts are on the back of my crown with XTG guillotine stroke. Just the slightest increase in pressure and my str8 catches and my dome gets cut and always the same spot. Ouch

    Yep! Am very familiar with 'hair of the dog'. I'm glad I quit drinking 'cause the dog was biting me harder than I was biting him............
