Shaving cuts and uncontrollable bleeding

[cardinalkarp]

I remember once when I was shaving against the grain above my upper lip (very difficult place to shave, BTW), I went just low enough to nick the lip. That thing must've bled for three or four hours.

You go against the grain on your upper lip? Only place I got against the grain is on my neck.

Let me guess, you don't have very dark hair? Guys closer to the blond side of the hair color spectrum have it so much easier when it comes to shaving.

I have brown hair so I guess that allows me to get away w/ it a little better.

Not going against the grain = it feels like I haven't shaved when I run my hand across my face.

Run your hand w/ the grain! It feels like that by the end of the day no matter how I shave.

That's true.

It's a habit for me by now, though. I'd feel unfinished if I didn't go against the grain.

I've never tried an electric razor.

Don't, they work light [expletive] and they take longer than shaving w/ a razor.

Electric razors suck.

I thought Nair wasn't intended to be used on your face.

I don't know, but I think it's a good idea in general to refrain from putting harsh burning chemicals on your face.

Electric razors suck, i don't want to wash my face with Nair, and my beard comes out splotchy. I just don't like bleeding for 3 hours, so let me rant, please won't you just let me rant!
