First Time With a Blade
« on: February 16, 2012, 08:25:27 PM »
For the past 14 months I have been shaving my head with an electric razor.  Tonight, I tried using a blade for the first time.  What a difference.  My head is as smooth as a baby's behind.  It shines more too.

Now you will be more addicted, the super smooth feeling is like nothing else in the world. I noticed when I don't shave for a few days I still have shine, just not as good as when I am smooth. Enjoy it!

yup Jimbo you can say that again O0. I really like our heads emitting natural oil and eventually causes our heads to shine like bulbs.

I've never used an electric razor since high school, but as best as I remember, the blades always do a closer shave.

And for shaving the head, I don't even think that I want to try the electric. The blade is so smooth. I love the feel of the first few hours of especially slick shine and smoothness. Excellent.

It has been decades since I used an electric shaver for facial hair and never have for head.  I do like the smooth feel.

I've used an electric shaver and then followed up with a blade to get as smooth as possible.  Takes a little longer, but there's never any razor burn.  Since the electric does the lion's share of the work, the blade just catches the fine stubble. 

Once you've experienced a smooth, slick dome, it's almost impossible to go any other way!

Jim

It shines so much you can't even see your dome in the photo.

Looks great

I can't believe you never used a balde on the dome.

Thanks for all the responses.  You guys are right - there is nothing like the smooth feel of a blade shave.  I could not stop rubbing the slick dome.  Looks like you have a blade convert here.  The blade was used again tonight.  Goodbye Conair CleanHead.

I never shaved with anything but a blade but I have to admit the very first time I shaved my head I fell in love with it. I just could not stop touching my head and marveling at the wonderful smooth feel. I am kind of obsessive compulsive now about trying to get the absolute closest shave possible. I wish I could keep that just shaved feel 24 x7.

I know the feeling...the first time I shaved with a Fusion was a very different experience from the Atra or electric.

Jimbo, congrats on making the move over to the slick side!  Electrics have their place, be it convenience, fear of the Van Gogh look  :o or a gradual transition to the blade.  But once you go metal on knoggin', it's tough to go back to anything else!  O0
