about 5 months ago i shaved with my new at the time dovo 5/8, i got a nasty cuz when doing the xtg on my check, and on the atg under my lip. Now these cut did no stop bleeding, but it stopped after i rubbed my nick stealer. Like i said its been 5 months and the cuts are still there, and i was wondering if they are going to be there for ever.
Do you really mean the cuts are still there or are you saying there are still visible scars? if you have cuts that haven't closed after five months I would get to a doctor stat.Quote:

I agree with both the previous posts. I cut myself shortly after I started shaving and the scar is almost all gone by now, but I do have one on my neck that happened about 3 months ago and the scar has just started to fade a bit.
oh scars of coarse
It depends how deep the cut was. Many times they go away by themselves or at least fade over time. However a deep cut will really never fade completely. It will always be there. I guess if a cut is properly treated from the start there is less chances of scarring.Quote:

They show you're a straight razor shaver, a real man.
Make a point of re-nicking them when you get a chance
Tell people you were sword-fighting and were sliced by a lance.
The cuts from a straight are clean & thin, so any permanent scars aren't wide.
Unless your frien'ds have a habbit of talking to you only inches from your face, they'll never notice the scars.
They'll be your shaving trophies.
I personally have 2. They're clearly visible when I stare at them close in the mirror, but you'll never know they're there if I don't tell you.
I think the replies this far covers most of it:)
I have had a few cuts and nicks, and subsequent scars as a result.
Most of them are all but gone about a year later. I always use Neosporin when I get cuts, that seems to help the healing and reduce scars as much as possible.
If we would have had neosporin when I was a kid - I'd have done a lot more dumb stuff with sharp stuff. The lasting pain, albeit uncomfortable, does flatten the learning curve quite a bit.Quote:

yep, the amount of scar pretty much depends on how you immediately treat the cut. EMT gel works great for first line of treatment then keep it soft with neo and a bandaid.
Yes, in the old days cousin Felix a member of the Latin Kings Street Gang used to bind up his straight cuts after a fight and they didn't scar at all. Unfortunately the scars from the Zip Gun did.
thanks guys, no that i think of it they are hard to see, but its easy for me cuz i know where they are.
