Is there anything that is necessary, especially if some actual crap got in there?

Here is an old one of mine. I was not happy in this pic. Don't sweat it, it happens.

Just clean it thoroughly and you'll do fine.

I've used vitamin E cream rubbed on a scar daily with good success. Seemed to heal the scar a lot faster.

I've found (after blowing it on my first bad cut) that if you have a flap, "super glue"!!! Sounds weird but it's actually sanitary. We used to do it rock climbing when we cut our finger tips, and I have a plastic surgeon friend that says they use almost the same thing all the time for E.R. cuts. if you cut a wedge out, yer stuck with it..

My favorite comment on cuts: "S**t! I think I just cut myself. Well... Maybe not... Nope, I did".

Superglue works like a charm. It was developed for emergency surgery after all. It is quite hard to apply if you are inexperienced. The goal is a minimal amount of glue just on the edge and correct amount of pressure while bonding to avoid creases. However it does scar more.

Fingers are a good area to apply glue. Even better in the scalp.

Remember: once a razor has tasted blood, it will thrist for more.
