Thread: Scarface?

This happened earlier this evening. I applied a styptic pencil, and if I didn't it probably wouldn't have ever stopped bleeding. I've only been shaving about 6 weeks or so, and now the wife is pretty concerned. Overconfidence is a bad, bad thing...

The good news is if you keep antibiotic ointment and a bandage on it, the cuts from a straight are so clean it'll heal without scarring. Just don't let it dry out!

That's good to know! I was starting to come up with great stories to tell people who asked about it. I was thinking maybe a knife fight in prison?

how did you even manage a cut that big?

must have been that sword fight at dawn eh?

Ouch! Yep, keep some antibiotic ointment and a bandage on it and it should heal fine. On the plus side, the area of your cheek just above & below the cut looks really smooth.

If your co-workers ask how you got it tell them,"you should see the other guy." Read my sig line below and it may help you avoid mishaps in the future.

at least you didn't cut your ear like me lol. my cut took awhile to stop bleeding, styptic pen did't do much for me. good news is you will have a cool scare

That looks Awesome...
But seriously I feel your pain. Had a scar almost as long as the blade, but only a few cells deep, didn't really bleed. Needless to say, everyone soon found out I was shaving with a straight.

I scar really badly from cuts but you know even the worst cuts I sustained as a newb never scarred. As we say down here "She'll be right mate "

I had a pretty big cut about a two months ago that actually left a distinct line I thought was going to scar. The line faded in about a month.
