And that's me. 

Of late, after a couple of bad head-slashes (and no, I'm no newbie; have shaved for a quarter of a century or more) I decided to take it easy for a while.  What does that mean?  Just do the dome once a week with no-guard clippers.  The beard is being left to its own devices, except for a little clearing at the neck and shaping on the cheeks.

My hair being white, the hairs on the not-thick side, the effect is nearly SLY.  Ah, well, the razor is there for more extensive work when the slash scar fades.

Well, "Slash happens," as they say.

I don't think anyone here with some time behind a blade razor and dome shaving has completely avoided the blood scene.  If they have, I'm sure they will convey their prophylactic methods to you.  I'd be interested, too!

I've been shaving for7+ years and still get the odd nick.  Usually happens when I rush or lose concentration.  It usually heals up very quickly so I don't worry about it.  Part of the process and as your skin toughens up it happens less often.

 

We must pay for the bald look and its rewards with a small blood sacrifice.
