 Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:00 am Post subject: Bad shaving incident, do YOU shave anyway? |
  |
|
As many of you probably read, I cut myself pretty good yesterday morning.
Well, I'm SO addicted to shaving my head that I typically shave around the area as close as I can, then a little closer... and if the wound permits, I take my electric razor over it.
Anyone else do this or am I just that ill?

I'll do that occasionally. But, I have found that it's best to give it at least one day, if I do something major. In fact, I'm taking today off, because I have some irritation going on. I admit though, when I feel my head...ewww! I need a shave!

I for one am taking a day or two off. I don't know if my head is just that sensitive or I am just that big of a wimp. Had to take a cool shower today because of the sun burn.
I feel my head and think to myself, self, you need to shave.

Well, sunburn, that's a different story! Yeah, you'll need to cool that melon off for a couple!

Try cold witch hazel or cold aloe gel if you can stand it.

I will try the witch hazel cold. I have been putting aloe on my head and it feels good.

When I was working on the play set for the kiddos a part of me wished I had a 5 gallon bucket of aloe vera to dip my head in

Longhorn,
Did you cut your head or was it sunburn when she dabbed alcohol on your head? It must be from a cut. Not to much sun in WA. I lived in sandy OR. for a year.

| Worst thing about a sunburned melon is that the razor can get pretty gummed up when your head finally starts peeling! |

I am still waiting to shave my head again. My head is peeling still and it looks like my head is snowing.

Guess we're all a bunch of tennis ball heads right now 
I decided this one was bad enough to just let it heal before messing around with it again. Pretty sure it's going to leave a permanent mark, it's rather deep.

Sounds like you could use some Emu oil. It will help the cut to heal and minimize the scar.
