Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Safety Razor Head Shaving
Hey guys, Any DE users?? I'd like some opinions...
FR8TRAIN:
I just started using a DE on my face a couple of weeks ago and though I now have many, I'm trying them all to see which ones I like and which ones I don't. So far my favorite is the 1920 Gold model on the left. No pressure and it shaves like a champ. I've tried a couple of TTO's and a 1966 adjustable but they don't give the shave like this old guy. I have a couple of more 1930's 3 piece models (one gold and one silver) to try out. But, so far the 1920 3 piece has given the best shave. O0

I shave my head with a mercur 34d DE with feather blades. I cut the $#!t out of my self the first few times I did it, but soon got the technique down. Start slow with lots of lather and pay close attention to the angle. They are called double edge SAFETY razors for a reason, the only way to really cut yourself is to slide the blade sideways (commonly done by angling the razor slightly). Ive been shaving with them for about a year and can confidently shave my face and head with no mirror or nicks, and can do it in less than 10 min if I'm not after that baby butt smooth feeling. I have not worked up the balls to try my straight on my head but maybe someday.
Overall, I recommend DE to anybody who does't mind spending a little more time for perfection. and as stated previously, there are great sights out there to help get you started

Any of you D/E shavers using it on your head in addition to your face? Also, are you using the D/E in the shower or at the sink?

I use a DE on my head and face. It takes some time to adjust to using it, but once done, the shave takes about the same time as with a cartridge razor. I shave at the sink, but I shave my face in the a.m. and my head in evenings.

I use a DE once in a while, but it seems like in winter, it's more destructive and shreds...maybe it's the condition of my skin?
