Thread: Shaving head

Excellent! I once shaved someone else's head at a public event for the World's Greatest Shave. Seemed like a great idea at the time, but I found that when I started my hand was shaking - a lot! I had to steady the blade with my other hand, but once I got going things went better. No blood, at least!

Good luck for the weekend!

Hi,
I shave my head with a straight.
I always use the same 5/8 round point for my head; I don't change size, grind etc. as I do for my face.

I find skin stretching and a very keep edge essential.

I do use two mirrors but only to check I'm removing everything. For the back it's by feel, a bit like combing your hair (I only do WTG).

The first time I tried I found it easier than I expected; around the ears is the only tricky area.
