Hammy...thanks for posting a picture of your damage! Your head looks pretty much like mine...though I think I have more of the red spots! I too am using the HeadBlade (Sport). I would really like to master this and so am very reluctant to switch to something else. I need to do some research to try to find out how much the skin toughens up as it gets used to being shaved. I'd like to know if I switch to something else while the skin adjusts and then go back to the HeadBlade after that happens...will it be then result in less damage?
