Thread: How to handle a healing cut

If you must shave in the area of the cut, at least always make sure the razor edge is completely vertical to the cut so the edge can never completely reopen the cut. Seems obvious, but we get in the habit of shaving in one direction because of technique and beard direction, so changing edge direction is not always so easy.

My treatment for cuts is to mix styptic powder with Sandahl's vanishing cream. I apply it to the cut and that's it.

When I cut myself shaving it's usually a doozy of a cut. It's because I loose focus and am in an imaginary fight with someone that I've had a disagreement with.

The day after the cut the first area I shave is that where the cut is. I shave away from the cut and then the area around it. If I don't do that area first I'lll forget it's there and re-cut myself.
