I've cut my shins deadlifting twice now.

You'd better go home then, don't want to ruin your leg modelling career.

All kidding aside, if you are experiencing significant scraping, more than likely you are pulling with only your back or pulling too soon. Be more patient with the bar and use your legs to initiate. You can also put strips of athletic bandage vertically on your shins or wear long socks, but the technique fix is probably better.

In other words, set up more like a clean/snatch pull or RDL rather than a stiff legged deadlift, and pull with your legs.
