hello fellow chrome domes: when was the last time U cut or nicked your dome? i'll start: as most of U know... my wifey shaves my dome 50-75% of the time. however... the 1st few months of my headshaving "career" my wifey was shaving my dome 100% until one weekend last summer 2007. my wifey went out of town 2 visit her family & i had no choice but 2 do the deed myself if i wanted 2 continue wearing a slick noggin'. anyways... i did fine the 1st day but on the 2nd day i nicked myself 4 the 1st time. >:( i can't remember the exact date but it was around summer 2007.
so... how 'bout U? when was the last time U cut or "nicked" your dome? what's your story?

Today!!! :Xo! :Xo! :Xo! Fucking Headblade tore a chunk out of my scalp and I bled like a pig for about an hour. Ended up being late for work because I refused to leave the house with a piece of Kleenex stuck to my head. I've nicked and cut myself before, but never anything like this. Usually I don't even feel it when it happens. This one hurts!

It was a couple of days ago I tried the HB with the sensor blades and tore a big chunk out of my head. I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to the sensor blades, I'm very torn(literallly) on this because this was the second shave with them and the first one I had a million tiny cuts but the shave was smmoth as hell and I thiught I might like these blades and just get used to them, but not with taking big chunks out of my dome. :Xo! >:( :x! :Xo!

Last week, I stayed the night at my girl's house and didn't bring my fusion or HB. She wanted me to shave my head, so i used her venus. Bad idea.

Dont you have a Styptic pencil? They work great!

No. I thought about it at the time, but there was nothing I could do about it then. I've never had that much blood from a cut before. I'm going to have to shave around that mutha and go over it lightly with an electric for the next few days until it heals.
-
Every once in a while I'll cut myself, but it's usually just a little nick, never a chunk like RazorX.
-
I nicked myself just yesterday morning. I thought that I would try going over everything again with my fusion and got going a little too fast. It took awhile to get this one stopped also. But not anything like Razor's. Only a Headblade could do damage like that. :'(
-
I regularly manage to pick up a few nicks. I think this may be because I try to use a razor well past its best.
I have a small nick on the back of my head that I am trying to work around at the moment but forgot this morning and opened it up nicely.
-
I haven't nicked myself in a few weeks. But nicks are an occasional occurence.
-
Just this morning, on the back of my head. I guess this means 1) after a week of shaving I'm being less careful 2) I'm trying to shave closer to get that sly smoothness we all want. I guess the occasional nick is inevitable.
-
I've cut myself a total of 4 times. Twice on the back of my ears (purely a result of being lazy and careless and not pinning my ear down with my free hand) and twice on the back of the head, which was due to me applying downward pressure on the HeadBlade. None of those nicks were serious and were done bleeding by the time I got out of the shower.
-
it's been a few months since I actually drew blood... but I did have a pretty bad case of razor burn from using a dull blade + not enough lather earlier this week
-
What day is today? lol ;D
-
Not quite the dome, but I just made a pretty good attempt at taking my ear off with a beard trimmer lol
-
Today. I was shaving in the shower with my Fusion and I took a chunk of skin about the size of a nickel out of the back of my scalp. :'( It didn't hurt too much, but now I have a stupid-looking band-aid and Neosporin on my head and I'll probably have to wait for it to heal completely before I can shave again.
I inspected the razor afterwards, and it looks like 2 of the 5 blades were a little lower than they were supposed to be. (So not all 5 blades were even with each other.) One of the lowered problem blades was where I pulled out my intact skin chunk from.) :XX
I know how you feel, RazorX!
-
I have finally found a way around getting nicked. I don't use shaving cream! I use soap. Bar soap is awesome because it leaves a lot of viscosity on your skin no matter how many times you run a razor on it. Body wash is better because it works like soap, but it won't clog up your razor.
Also, for the record, if someone sees that you shave your head, and there's a nick/gash on it, why oh why on Earth would they ask you, "what happened to your head, man?" I guess some people have nothing at all better to say.
-
When I first shaved my head I slept a couple nights on a pillowcase I hadn't washed in a while. I'm a lazy single guy...what can I say? Anyway, I got a couple good pimples on the side of my head, and I cut both of them, but one was pretty tender and annoying. The styptic pencil worked awesome, though I would also like to get a block of alum.
I have never cut a gash or taken a chunk out of my head...and it makes me cringe to think about it. YOW!
-
I managed to give myself a small cut front/centre this morning.
Shaving left handed 'cos I sprained/broke my thumb last week kick-boxing. I should know better by now!
-
Here's a pic of the damage one day later. Note the marks from the band-aid adhesive on either side, lol. :)

Nicked my ear a couple of days ago, no big thing.
-
Funny you asked this HAWK. I nicked my noggin just this morning. I had a little bump right on the top and sure enough my trusty HeadBlade sliced that thing off like a wood plane. :o
I hate that too cause now I've got to let that area heal which means I'll be sporting a 'grass bunker' up there til then. @c3
-
Why do I keep checking this thread?! I HATE hearing about cuts, and the head makes me cringe WAY more than the face!
-
Hahaha! This is an easy one for me. The last time I bloodied my noggin was the day I decided the Head Blade wasn't worth the trouble and round filed it. Went back to my trusty Mach 3, then on to my Quattro, and haven't nicked it since. O0
-
I had 1 small pimple on the back left of my noggin. Was bothering me for almost 2 days. Well... sure enough I forgot about it while shaving and basically surgically removed it. Stung for a second but it ended up being a good thing. It was healed up in a day and didn't bother me anymore.
-
I nicked my head Saturday while we were camping. ouch! Don't shave after a few cold ones on a camping trip.
-
I hit a zit on the back of my neck yesterday and had no idea until I looked up in the mirror and saw that my right shoulder was covered in blood. Amazing how much blood can come from a tiny cut. :(
