I managed to avoid cutting my scalp up this morning. Shaving my head is way trickier than shaving my face with it. I didn't cut myself at all this time though. Last time I think I wasn't paying enough attention to my angle of attack on the rear crown area, really have to concentrate on holding it at the right angle. Helped to choke my grip up and rest a finger and my thumb on the bottom plate of the head. I only do one XTG pass on my head, has always seemed to be enough and the skin seems tight enough that it doesn't irritate it too much.



My face on the other hand, I'm still having some trouble with. I've got, I think, a lot of in-grown and infected hairs. Red spots that don't seem like razor burn. At one point a few years ago, I let my lady pluck my beard at her insistance it would take a long time to grow back if I did. She was wrong about that, and I got a terrible rash from it, but she did find out that I do have a LOT of ingrown hairs, especially in spots that are double or tripple hairs growing out of the same spot. I'm not sure what to do about in-grown and infected hairs, I'm going to look into it today. I'm afraid to try to go for a really close shave, like I did last time, cause it really pisses off all those red spots.
