@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!carlmaloschneider likes this.CHRIS

[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...Last edited by carlmaloschneider; 10-07-2013 at 09:55 AM.
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Finally received my Brian Brown Kamisori. Took it for a test drive with some slick CF CS.
A wonderful shave.
