Having been shaved myself for many years, I think this is true for the first few days or week, but the skin tends to toughen up to being shaved after a while, reducing problems. Just like the skin of the face. There are the inevitable cuts and nicks, from time to time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
