Free at last!
« on: February 21, 2010, 09:15:43 AM »
Hi Guys!

I have just started wet shaving my head for the first time this week after years of electric trimming and do I feel better for doing it! Since I was 21 (29 now) I started thinning and lost it all on top except from around the sides but I have always buzzed round the sides to keep it short but this week I thought to hell with it and took the razor blade to it and the only word I can think of is 'FREE' at long last!
I ordered a head blade yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive. Has anyone had any problems with it?
Hope all you guys are well!

Welcome!  The thing you want to be careful of with the HeadBlade is that you DO NOT want to apply much pressure to the blade when you're starting out.  Also, there are different types of blades that you can use.  HeadBlade triples are more forgiving for the beginner.

That reminds me of a T-shirt I keep meaning to get printed:

"Free from the tyranny of hair!"

Congrats on your freedom.

Welcome.   Could you explain something for me?  I ask this because from my experience, I wasn't going to wait until the final profound baldness arrived.  What was the essential reason, if you know it, that you tried to keep it?  I ask because I see these guys going around w/ a horseshoe and I personally just can't see how or why  they do it.
