Hil, that's normal for me. Other people may be more dexterous.

Robin, I'm glad you're getting things taken care of. I hope it's as easy as possible.

Yay for the Jessica male sprog! I don't think I've said that yet, though I've thought it a lot. It's very exciting news. That's going to be one awesome kid.

(((vw))) Have a nice relaxing evening.

Deena!

I get a lot of nicks when shaving unless I have a brand new blade. My childhood scars are pretty much all gone, though. The only ones that have really stick around are from burns, the cuts and scrapes all faded within a few years.

No idea how normal that is.

Hey sj! How's school going?

I was just noticing the scar on my forehead's prominence today (yes, Voldemort did come to mind). I was cut there by the scalpel while I was being delivered. Which is the long way round to saying that precious damned few of my scars ever fade. It does disturb me when I can't remember where they're from, though. There's one along my right instep that seems it should have been memorable, but nothing.

I always nick myself that much when shaving, which part of the reason I do it so seldom.

I am one big map of scars, but I think I've finally learned how to avoid self-nicking. The Really Nice Razor helps, too.

I have very few scars, but the ones I do have are humdingers. Mainly, the 8" "necklace" scar at the base of my neck.

I don't nick myself shaving. The key is to have a good razor and good lubrication.

I lurve my Schick Intuition razor -- I've hardly nicked myself at all since I bought it. And no shaving gel to buy!

I have also fallen for the Intuition! However, I also have the bad habit of avoiding shaving for fairly long periods of time and I think the blade gets dull (or possibly clogged by the too long hair). But it really is terribly convenient.
