thanks. just got to that part. looks great. appreciate the info and welcome.

There are gentlemen who shave their heads with straights, but I'd recommend getting a really good understanding of how to use it (angles, strokes, etc.) before tackling head shaving with one.

Welcome to SRP. Enjoy

Hi Coatesjesse,
Welcome to SRP!
1.-Shaving with a straight razor is well worth a try.If you do decide to go ahead -do plenty of research on the wiki in the beginners tips.This will guide you through your first steps to buying your first razor and the kit needed for a shave.
2.-I have no experience of headshaving so will let other members chip in on this subject.
Look forward to seeing you in the forums,
regards
