Good on ya, 1mm!  Looks great despite the wound.    

Just curious -- the clippers that did the deed -- were they standard clippers w/ no guard, or a beard trimmer sort of thing?  My couple of years of no-guard buzzes with standard clippers never took out a chunk of flesh.  Ouch!  

Whaddaya think guys, aloe vera?

Thank you! i really like it so far. probably shave it every now and then or keep it buzzed without a guard. have to stop shaving because of the nick anyway, at least for the next 2 days, or what do you guys think. thinking about growing that beard a bit longer...

there is noting like touching a smooth head!

Looks terrific.  Nicks and cuts are just part of the learning curve.  It should be OK in a couple of days.  Just shave around the wounded area until it heals.  You can go over the area lightly with an electric razor until it's healed enough to withstand the blade again.

Do the beard if you like the look with a bald head...

but don't do it because you feel naked now with only skin on top of your head.you'll get used to it bald!

Give it a few days before the nest shave..but after then I'd keep it slick every day for at least 30 days! O0

Ahh.  A blade shave.  I misunderstood one of your earlier posts and thought you were going to buzz it.  Yeah, blade(s) and blood -- often a part of some of the early shaves.  When I first blade-shaved my dome, I was simultaneously stoked and scared.  And a little bloody at times.  The sound of sharp metal rasping against the stubble made me a bit nervous.  I got over it.  Now it's music to my ears.

Hang in there.  Your techique will improve.  And doesn't a freshly shaved head feel the most awesome?

Looking good and sly

Sorry, I'm a little late.

But congrats, your bald shaved head looks very good for you!!  O0

The cut will heal in a few days. You can shave without any pressure on the blades after two or tree days. I did so after removal of a mole by laser-surgery. It was no problem.

Keep it sly. Enjoy your new look a the amazing feeling of a smooth fresh shaved head.  ::) ::) ::)

The best wishes for your new sly year.
