In <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/random_stuff\/stitches_27mar2009\/P4030510.jpg.html\">this photo<\/a> you can see that I&#8217;d become very, very, terribly, uncomfortably scruffy, but with stitches and a bit of scabbing on my face I didn&#8217;t want to risk shaving.<\/p>\n<p>After getting home from work I took a shower, shaved all of my head and face save for my upper lip, fitted a new (and very sharp) blade to the razor, then started shaving shaving my lip. While I was particularly cautious, it all went very well with only a bit of pain coming from the inside of my mouth as my face moved around. There are still some painful cuts on the inside, but those are healing quite quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I then applied some Target-brand <em>Moisturizing Scar Lotion<\/em> which claims that it, if used multiple times per day for about two months, will help ensure that scars appear softer and smoother. I&#8217;d compared the Target brand version to the bigger name brand version, and as the only ingredient difference was the type of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Polyethylene_glycol\">polyethylene glycol<\/a>, I opted for the 50% cheaper Target brand. It has a somewhat bothersome fragrance, but dealing with that will be worth it to help things heal better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One week after falling, and one day after the stitches were removed, I finally was able to shave.
