thanks for the welcome. think I will try a wet shave tonight, my electric razor leaves the top like sandpaper, and thats not nice, the back/thicker hair is fine. Now its gone its got to be smooth. I've read not to use a brand new blade is that good advice?

Welcome--very logical conclusion O0.  Whether the blade should be new is dependent more on the type of weapon you're planning to use.  A Fusion or Hydro 5--I'd use a new blade after a hot shower and some Headslick applied with a brush, or at the very least a gel shave product.  Double edge, not my area, can't tell you, same with the Headblade.

Head slick applied with a shaving brush feels so good. Like a mini-head massage.

A brand new Schick Hydro 5 has never cause me problems.

Maybe William Wallace was talking about his genes causing baldness...."They can take our hair, but they can't take our FREEDOM!!!". Whatever your outlook, sly guys are freedom personified, welcome to the club!!

Welcome!!!!  You look like you were suited for slyness!  I have to ask you, what made you decide to become sly.  Probably for the vast majority of us, myself included, MPB gave us the push to do it.  But there are also quite a few guys here that just like the look and have MPB at all!  So where are you in that equation?  I believe that especially for those with more advanced MPB, family and friends are often more supportive!

MPB has started but not in full swing yet. I just thought I would try it before I have no choice. It's high maintainance, but I quite like it, so now the fear of balding has gone. I might have become bald by the time I grow it back. The sun is blazing today so my heads roasting, and the sunscreen is at home, hope I don't burn.

Key to using the head blade is keeping the wheels in contact with your head. takes a few shaves to get that feel down. For the first few, just go a little slower than you think and pay attention to what you are doing with the wheels. Don't press down hard.

I've not had a problem with the head blade. Been using it for a month now.  No slices or nicks.  But it is easier to keep the wheels down now as I've learned the feel.


Bald looks good on you, Dr.
