Well I cut my head, so either I went to fast or my blade is kinda dull. It itches but probably not as bad as my mind thinks it is. Hate when that happens. Any one have weird shaped areas prone to cuts?
-
No weird shapes, but I will slice myself every now and again when I get careless.
-
No weird shapes here either. But I still do nick myself from time to time. It happens.
-
It's happened to me once in a while in a random spot.....I just chalk it up to part of shaving and part of being a guy....Through the years, I'd say I've suffered a cut on my head in at least 30 or more places at one time or another!

baldOUFan,
I haven't cut myself on the head in a bit, try a pre moisturing cream (Proraso makes a good one, i'll put in the link) before you put on the shaving cream and plenty of water. The slicker the shaving process the less likely you are to "catch" the razor on sharp inclines or declines.
Hope it helps.

I get dOwn when I pat my head dry and there's blood on the towel ha
-
it will heal soon. get over it, keep on shaving
-
It does suck, glad it aint just me

I rarely cut myself, but if I do, it's always in the same spot (around the right temple area, where my hairline stops). I just make sure to disinfect it properly with a bit of alcohol. It's not really a weirdly shaped area, but it requires more passes to get a clean shave (just like the nape of my neck), so chances of cutting myself in these spots are higher.

ten to cut the bump a lot (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi60.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh29%2Fsoonersseth%2Fcut.jpg&hash=7379e8e27ddba8bac29d9074fed72a34ad0ca4ef)
-
Yeah, cuts happen. I've done it myself more times than I like to admit.
-
Every time I've ever cut my head it's been in the back where I can't see it.
-
Always seem to nick myself behind my right ear...
-
Yeah, it happens.
More so when I was first shaving because 1) I didn't know the "surface irregularities" which I needed to pay more attention to, and 2) after a few weeks of daily shaving my scalp toughened up a bit and the issues were less frequent.
Just consider it a minor "rite of passage" to Slydom.
-
Thanks FrontierGuy that "right of passage" boosted my mood
-
I've been shaving my head for years. This morning I was in a hurry and slashed my head to pieces.
Some days just go like that.
-
I find cuts are usually due to blade dullness.. or going too fast/ not carefully where hair meets the skin (edge of hairline on top, behind ear)
-
Every time I've cut myself it's been after putting a fresh blade on. I have a few tricky spots where I don't get as close of a shave as I'd like.
-
baldOUfan, I sometimes cut myself in the same place. That area can be tricky, especially doing it blind.
Like greatnessinc, my cuts are almost always due to a new blade. I switched razors today and got two small cuts on the rear of my head. It was probably my fault for going a little too fast. All you can really do is hope they heal fast, I guess.
I now take a little extra time on the tough spots. Timewise it's probably 50/50 on 80% of my head and the 20% that is tricky.
-
Yes I so get that with the cuts. I have one spot on the left side of my head that always seems to catch and is likely where I will cut myself. I do find that going over a spot too much will do it too but hey all of us are doing the same thing- trying to get smooth with no stubble feeling after shave. Usually it does not bleed too much and stops quickly.
-
Yeah boss
-
I have had all of the above - just above either ear, right at the hair line on either temple or the bump in the back - I just make sure I concentrate and go slow in those areas then rock out on the rest of it.
