I know mate, I know. It's just that I know from personal experience that going back too early only reopens the cut, and shaving around it doesn't work as well as it sounds (particularly if the cut is in a "hair growth" area - looks weird if there's a little patch of stubble on an otherwise clean shaven face).

A good idea to have some of the BandAid superglue stuff (I think they call it Liquid BandAid) around for times like this.

I wouldn't use it on your face though, for one thing it says not to on the box (my brand anyway) and for another that stuff stings. I mean stings worse than salty aftershave on razorburn pain. just leave it alone and it will heal.

This is a Pricess' Bride reference, thrown in for good measure.....

I got a decent battlewound with someone's assistance.
Thankfully I realized I was coming pretty close to my eye on an atg pass handling of the blade and changed my ways in case accident #2 ever comes.

I'm not doing the other side.

All of these things are just Dermabond, so you can read up on it online. Dermabond is great for clean face lacerations. You want it on top of a cut thats held closed-- not in the wound. I guess the good folks at BandAid want to avoid lawsuits over scars when not used properly, so they exclude use on the face.

Last time I went to the Medimerge with a cut on my thumb (slicing turkey, not shaving), they told me they ONLY use Dermabond on the face.
