Ouch ! Angel Smile

hey,

i had said last time, i had to be quite shaving with my straights juste before moving my home, it was like 2 months of pause. i take it again since few weeks to use my straight razor but there is still some work to do in the bathroom, it makes me feel like something was wrong while i shave.

yesterday with beard of 2 weeks, i went to bathroom and start to shaving, i was not comfortable, the place where i put my razor, soap, badger etc.


here the result;

each sides of my face

what do you think, they are big deals? or they will be heal up fastly? from the last time (before this shaving) i had two big scares where my sking has less beards around these old scares. :/

also do you have any treatment to apply for these scares?

Well I am a little older and have a few more rough miles on me. I just leave my shaving marks to mingle with all the other marks on my face. You can reduce scaring appearance with some different oils and creams, as well as laser treatments. Isn't the saying that chicks dig scars?

Honestly I bet you won't even notice those, they don't look serious from here. The only time I've left a scar to speak of was with a shavette and its a fine white line that I bet I can even find any more.

i hope so.

i used a shavette when i was student at hight school, i can tell that the shavette is more dangerous then straight razors. with the blade you put in the shavette, it is more often to have a scare, even scares.

Absolutely, there where times I would look at mine and have a pink line on my face! Scary little buggers.

I have no idea if it is true, but others have claimed that application of triple anti-biotic ointment to cuts like this can help reduce scarring.

I do not bother trying to reduce the appearance of any marks on my face. However there is a heavily advertised product here called Bio Oil that claimed to be able to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. There other products as well, that one is definitely the best advertised.

Bio oil does work well. I've used it before and my wife used it as well after our during and after our two children. Reduces any scars, but you need to use it for a bit. Won't help much if you only use a few days.

The cuts on your face should heal up nicely. But those holes in your ears look permanent!

few years ago i was interested with these oils but i did not find them anywhere to buy some. there is a seller where i can find them or a topic to know how to use them ?

Triple antibiotic is helpful I think.

Cheers, Steve

no need to antibiotics. they have not infections. it's boring to see them while i go to work...

Bonjour mon ami! Ca va bien ici. Et toi?

I have had those same marks from a Shavette, but never from a straight razor. I agee with you that a Shavette is much more unforgiving than a straight razor. Those look like linear razor burn lines, or at least that is what I always thought they were. I've had them so bad (from a Shavette) on about the same place on my face as you, that they looked like red worms stuck on my face. They heal well. I know they look like cut scars now, but that will fade. Normal astringent or aftershave with some aftershave balm and that's usually all you need. I have had good luck simply treating them as a razor burn.

Alors, ne vous inquietez pas. J'ai vecu aParis depuis deux ans et le manque beaucoup.

A bientot. Et Aloha!

OK, that is good. You may also want to treat the marks with hamamelis (witch hazel). I also find that aftershave with alcohol or rubbing alcohol calms and sooths the burns. As I said, treat them as razor burns and you will be fine.
I was alarmed the first time I saw them on my face, but as I say, they do go away and leave no scars. THey are burns not cuts, even though they look like a healing cut.

Bonne chance!

Of course I was teasing. I'm glad to see a wide range of folks here, esp those younger and cooler than me. Though everyone looks cool with a SR in there hand.

A question from a new guy: I found 2 lines/cuts on my face tonight that I didn't know happened. Don't remember them and didn't see them bleed. Found them later. Is that how it goes with SRs?

Possibly too steep of an angle when placing the blade to your skin. Shave the lather, light touch. This is the reason for multiple passes.

Mr. Houston
don't push the blade, let the blade do the work and watch the angle.

I got my first feel of light touch today. Just on parts. No tugging or scraping. At least now I know what it should feel like. Thanks for the tips.

Boy, mustache and chin are difficult.

guys, do you know if i should not shave my beard until the scares disappear or i need to avoid and keep it until it heals up ? since it i did not shaved but the scare is visible under beards.

Try using a DE until they heal, thats what I do. Scares make you look like the Duke!

What Newcreature said....
