I am bald because of genetics.......................because i chose to be...................or was it genetics?
I always knew i would lose my hair. I just wanted it to be on my terms and not have the "monk" look. So i just started to shave my head when i was about 28/29 years old, before any balding started. I am now 33.
I use the regular 4 blade cartridge's to shave my head and face. But lately Ive been getting a hankering to learn to use a straight razor and use that. I feel that in the long term ill save money. I can get maybe5 to 7 shaves out of a cartridge razor. Then i have to toss it in the trash and use a new one. I guess i have a very stiff beard or a sensitive face.
Head blade? I wish i could get my hands on one for free to try it. I just DO NOT like the idea of pushing a blade across my head. It just seems like a bad idea!
Anyways, im hear to see if i can pick up anything new or to bestow my own knowledge on the crowd.
Thanks!

Welcome Mark! Your doing better than me with the cartridges I only get 2-3 shaves, so one cartridge lasts around 1 week!!!! I suspect using a straight razor would be cheaper but much more time consuming!

Welcome Mark. Glad to have you join our group of brothers. Yes, a straight razor would be nice and in the long term cost efficient. However, not being graced with coordination, I would probably come out one eared. Kind of scary!!!

Welcome. You're a great standard bearer for the concept of hiding the mpb process in plain sight! Your straight razor idea is interesting, but I don't even know if anyone out there can show a guy how to do it short of barber school. -

Welcome to the site buddy, enjoy your stay!
I've never had a straight razor shave, I'm usually one to try something before judging it, but I'd have to build some trust with the person holding the blade before letting hin start.
I just got a Headblade a few days ago, trust me it's good! One thing that's cool is that a lot of different replacement blades work for it (you get two different blade adapters). The Headblade replacement blades are fairly priced so you'll asve money over time on blades.
