I've been shaving my head for the past 15-20 yrs. first with a Mach3 then a fusion, now I use a DE every day. I have tried a straight on the sides and have decided I like the way my head looks . Until I stop nicking my head with a DE (rarely happens) it's all good. I must admit it would be cool to shave my head with a straight, and would love to keep trying, but I still struggle around my neck/adams apple area with a straight getting BBS . I think what stops me is my honing technique on my straights, I hear of buttery smooth edges and hairs just jumping out of the way and I have yet to achieve that, so until then I'll stick to my DE. I am thinking about a Feather AC SS, that might get me a jump start on head shaving with a straight, at least the edges should be dependable.
