Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Safety Razor Head Shaving
Double edged my head.
Natedawg:
Kudos to you, waine! Congrats on successful DE shaving.
Personally though, I'm with npsbg. My hands are anything but steady (let's just say I wouldn't make it as a surgeon), so there's no way I'll ever even attempt a DE shave. That's just me, though!
waine:
NateDawg, that's what I initially
thought, but it was surprisingly easy!

DE shaving doesn't have to be expensive at all.
From somewhere like bestshave.net you can get Yuma razors for about $3, or Derby for $10. They're both fine for learning the skills, and might be all you'll need. Blades are available in some countries and not so expensive (compared with cartridges) but online from Amazon, Bestshave, and a ton of other places, you can buy packs of 100 for about 8 dollars.
Don't let the fear of high prices put you off anyway.

Hey Slyfive: U may initially spend a little more on a DE razor but the blades are inexpensive. My favorite DE blade is the Astra SP and U can get a 100 pack for less than ten dollars from Amazon.com. Can U imagine how much 100 Fusion, Mach3, Hydro5 cartridges would cost?
When U are ready for taking that plunge... U won't regret it. I know I haven't.

I guess one of the things that gets me is I've only ever used the headblade on my head, apart from once i tried my schick quattro and took about an hour to get a satisfying shave, and I nicked myself loads. So I don't know if having something that needs so much control and can't just be rolled over the head would work for me. Any thoughts?
