    Default do NOT try to shave the ears

    So I was finishing up my shave and noticed a couple of stray hairs sticking out of the edge of the ear. "No problem I'll just lop them off with my wedge" me thinks....apparently the skin on the ear is thin and is directly bolted to a major artery.

    Don't try to shave it with a straight....you've been warned.

    I agree with OP
    They seem to bleed more than anything.
    I have my wife use her tweezers on the "old man syndrome" in and on my ears

    Also no issues yet. I like how a singing razor will ping as each of those hairs flies off.

    it's not shaving the ears that's a pain, it's all the shaving cream in the ear. but your ears will never smell better!!!
