    Yes - been on board for a while. I did follow advice above and, yes, it slides right over. I was all worry and no problems.

    I have a few scars on my left side of my face. The most significant one is just to the left of my chin courtesy of one mean ass dog. There are days when I snag it but stretching it really tight helps as well as tilting the blade such that it doesn't engage the scar head on also helps.

    I think you cut yourself shaving.

    Hey Dan, glad it's all smooth shaving, I have a bumpy scar on my chin and I would fairly regularly nick it with my old cartridge razor, but that doesn't seem to happen these days.

    Dog bite or bar fight? Resisting arrest???? Be a little more forthcoming, people.

    Being from Chicago, scars like this have been a tradition since Al Capone. Dog fight, bar fight, resisting arrest,.....they're all legitimate reasons. It just depends on what reaction you're trying to get.

    I like the instructions this guy gives. I have one or two scars on the face and I stretch the skin tight. the one on the side of my neck is pretty deep but doesn't give any problem. I don't have to shave it.

    Rode my pushbike into the back of a car, my chin had a fight with the back window, I consider that my chin won as it healed up, the car window didn't, though nor did my bike.

    I recently had a problem salivary gland removed the same week i started straight razor shaving. The surgery left a pretty nice scar beneath my jaw line. Here's what i do... After applying my shaving cream, i clear away the cream right over the scar. I shave around that area and use an electric shaver to clean up the scar area.
