Thread: Shaved head

Finally broke down and shaved the ole. dome again, forgot how nice it felt. Was gonna wait a little longer, let old man winter ease up a bit more, but the hair, or should I say lack there of finally got me down so I swmbo take the clippers to it

I just ordered some Headblade lotion matte, anyone ever use that? Also picked up one of their Headblade Sport razors (it was on sale for $6), used it this morning and cut myself (ouch!). You have to push the razor on this model. They have a newer model that you can pull instead, that makes more sense to me. I generally use a DE, but does anyone use the Headblade stuff? Or Dovo's Striglia? Or maybe the Rolling razor, I think it's called that....

I just use a Schick quatro (coz I'm lazy). I'd like to do it with a straight or at least a DE but the Schick is so quick & gets so close I always give in.

I have used the glossy head-lube but I tend to be pretty glossy up top anyway. Maybe I should give the matte a try. Does it really give a matte finish? I just rub an alum block on my head now. Does the trick magnificently.

Not sure if the matte really works, I just ordered it based on reviews on Headblades site, supposedly it'll give you a matte finish. As soon as I get it, I'll do a review here.

On another note, you should give a DE a try. I can shave my face and head in 10 minutes, and I'm pretty anal about stubble on my head I usually get a "so smooth it's sticky shave". Although the ease/convenience of using a modern razor is understandable.

I tried a DE on my head a couple of shaves ago. Once the scabs heal, I'll give it another go
(Still working on my DE technique)

Had that problem when I first tried the Muhle R41 on my head, it scalped me and I didn't even know until I applied the Alum. I think I did a dance, and not a happy one.
For a head shave I usually choke up on the handle of the razor and drop a finger or two down and use them as a guide to keep the razor at the proper angle.

Good advice. I tried a similar approach. Think I just need practice

I have used a DE and my straights back and forth. I don't even own any others

Simply no cuts.Joust weight of a head of razor.
