Pay Attention Gentlemen

Every once in awhile, you get a little reminder that you really need to pay attention while you are shaving.

Yes, you got to be careful - you might get lather in your hair if you don't pay attention

On a more serious note, I've done that myself from time to time - usually when I'm zoning out and enjoying my shave too much to pay attention. Bleeds like a pig, but usually heals fast.

Yes, it is a really tiny cut but, it was a bleeder. I was trying to shave the hair inside my ear which is a mistake with an AC style blade.

I use tweezers.. takes longer, but less bleedy. Keep it clean, and it should heal cleanly.

That is probably the way to go.

Ouch! That’s a bleeder, alright.

My favorite tools for that job are a blunt tipped grooming scissor, or a Trac II. The slim profile of the Trac II is very well suited to cleaning in, on and around the ear.

For what you are trying to do, this is your friend.

Been there, done that, bled the night away!

This guy knows. I use a little Phillips thing... My sharp stuff stays away from anywhere with delicate flesh.

I find the the sharp DE blade makes a cut less painful and much better than a cut from a cartridge razor. 

I have used this trimmer or something similar for years to trim ear hair. Never had even a scratch from it.

I use a small ear hair trimmer called a Merkur Klipette. But I cut my ear backing up wiyh a spike point straight razor. Healing ok now.

I use a MicroTouch, a small battery powered razor for nose, ear, eyebrows and misc sprouts that are out of place. much smaller and more maneuverable than the Wahl peanut.

Why I didn’t see this post a week ago
