@Carl, "Been thinking about shaving my head with a straight for Movember, any tips?"
Hint #1 Be Careful
Hint #2 If you meet resistance, stop it could be your skull....
I've been shaving my head for 15/20 years and I'm still not confident enough to use my straight on my head although I have tried. I think a few on here do shave their head with straights though.
Come to think of it we should have a club on here for head shavers, be nice to have somewhere to share tips and techniques. Good Luck!
Ta. Good idea re the club. !5 - 20 years and still not confident? That doesn't bode well for me! :p
Gonna do it though, for Movember...It's possible there shall be a video...
[EDIT] I know Mikael and that other Nordic guy (Bjorn something?) shave their head with a straight so I'll hopefully garner advice from them too...
Well the first 15 were with a Mach3 or Fusion so easy peazy. The straight wasn't so easy on my head and I've using that on my mug for about 2/3 years, DE's my perferred weapon on my chrome dome. I'll follow your thread, I may get brave enough to try it again
