Cuts & shaving?

How long would I need to (roughly) wait from when I cut myself to when I shave that area so that I don't do something to the healing process of the cut? (like cut that area again or make it worse in any way)
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Generally best to leave it until its healed over, if its still a scab and you shave the area, you could remove the scab and make it more likely to scar. It also depends on which part of your body and how badly you've cut as well. You might be to very carefully shave your legs after four/five days if its a minor cut that healed well.

    I'd say about a week, at least, to be honest. Don't shave until the wound is healed and the scab has fallen away. Just don't.
