    Default scarring from accidents

    Last week I had a couple accidents I touched the blade to my face and cut myself one the length of the blade. And it left a scar. The ,cut was supper shallow but it seems any nicks or cuts I get stick around and im about 6 months in now and I have a few scars. Anyone have anything to share on this?

    Only that I've read that vitamin E can reduce, maybe even get rid of, scarring. Good luck with it and be careful.

    Chicks dig scars and if any one asks, just tell them you have the meanest cat ever.

    Primrose oil. Anti inflammatory and help prevent scarring.
    You have to be careful with some of the OTC cut and scratch remedies. While stopping infection they can also slow healing. Check
    Primrose is also good for new tattoos.

    Well, just man up and tell chicks it happened during astronaut training and that you are not at liberty to discuss it. Works every time!

    I've never had a scar from shaving, but I've got a nice looking scar on mu upper lip from taking a machine gun apart incorrectly, and forgetting to relieve the spring pressure first. The force of the block shooting out of the weapon knocked me backwards to the ground. It is cool to be able to answer "from a machine gun" when someone asks what the scar is from...though I don't explain, so it sounds more interesting...
