    Default My first head shave with a Straight !!!!!

    1st head shave today, it went good. Just have to get use to using a mirror to shave the back of my head. I used a 6/8 blade, but i'm wondering if 4/8 or 5/8 would be easier, any thought? All advise is very welcome.

    There is no different between using a 6/8 or a 4/8 for using on your head . Use a razor that lays good in your hand. Take it easy and a good shave will come.

    Congratulations! The size of the razor is probably more about how it fits in your hand than the job it might do on your head I think. Go with whatever size is most comfortable and easiest to manoeuvre for you.
