I did a few times, usually at moments when I felt the most stressed out (and therefore the most helpless in my stress).
I will not say this is the answer everyone has, but for me, seeing the 'cuts' I had made did several things: 1) it made me feel empowered because I was actively doing something instead of passively accepting the stress and 2) seeing the cuts made me feel as if the pain had been externalized, and therefore made visible to others, instead of being internalized, and therefore remain invisible. To cut myself, and to be able to show others that I have 'cut' myself was a way of saying to them 'see how much pain I am in?'
I stopped because the one time I did it (with an exacto knife on my left bicep) I actually left marks that remained. Because I had left marks, I didn't have to cut myself in order to demonstrate to myself that I was 'in pain'; I had the reminders that I could see. Also, I was able to show my psychologist/therapist the marks, and explain to them what I was feeling at the time, which validated the feelings and removed the intensity of their being buried.
I haven't cut myself since, at least intentionally, but I have also expanded my communicative abilities, so it could be a combination of several factors.

It depends on some situation. Yes I will cut my self for my family. for my good friends. If my friends need my blood then i will never think about my self.
& if my family member wants any part of my body I will do to my best. AND IF U WANT ANSWER OF WHY? Then it is becoz I really love them. and why I should not do this they helped me from then when I born. and for my friend I will cut myself becoz they ware always stood behind me as and when I needed there help.

When shaving in a hurry, some people do cut themselves: other than that, not.

No. Because it would hurt. And it would harm my body.
