Just joined.
« on: February 10, 2012, 08:20:40 PM »
Hello all.

I am a new head shaver, but not new to being bald.  I am happy to have found this forum after being a member of Badger & Blade for the past five years.  I have enjoyed my time there as well, especially since I finally learned to shave properly after 30 years of wearing a full beard due to the problems of being a black man with a natural tendency to ingrown hairs and razor bumps. 

I have been naturally bald on top for about fifteen years or so, and I kept my 'horseshoe' very closely trimmed with clippers.  Thanks to Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), it wasn't that bad of a look.  For the past five years or so I have used clippers to take it all the way down as close as they would allow.  I also let a barber shave my head a few times a year with a straight and the feeling was like night and day compared to the clippers. 

Once I found that I did not get any irritation from a real shave I decided to start doing it for myself about a month ago.  Now I lather up my dome with my badger brush every other day after I shave my face.  I use a DE razor for my face, but I shave my head with a Bump Fighter cartridge system.  My results are really good, but I have a feeling that they will get even better with time.

Well that's about all I think of for right now.  Sorry if I got a little long-winded for an intro post.  Glad to be aboard.

Welcome. I believe that it is true. With time/experience in shaving your head bald, the smoothness increases and probably the shine, too.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. 
I suspect that, just as it is with face shaving, there will be a lot of things to discover that will improve the head shaving experience for me.
