I _RARELY_ nick myself when I shave my face. Is it different with the noggin? I can imagine that the angles are different...as well as the technique.
But is there something unique--and perhaps unavoidable--about the relationship between blade and scalp whereby you have to be more cautious and wary?
thanks, dude mans

The difference is going against the grain. As someone who had thick dark hair, it takes multiple passes for me to get the against the grain close to perfectly smooth. Basically, I go front/back/sides with the grain. Then I do all of them against it, once. Then I go sideways on all sides. Then I feel around and see if some spots are too rough for my liking and I attack from all angles in that area. However, I can do that since I use an electric wet/dry shaver. So it's not going to grab my stubble or anything.
Then rinse with cold water look in the mirror at the front because I get a snowish white/gray shadow and try to get some areas I can see shadow. Then use my nivea aftershave and we are done.
But if you feel while shaving, you will notice any irregularities.
