Welcome.  I agree with many of the posts above ... you notice, others don't.  I also discovered that it took about a week or so of shaving daily for the skin to toughen up and as also noted above, getting some sun so your whole head is the same color/tan helps as well.  Good luck.

After shaving, which is always very close, I can see the outline  where I still have hair. I have asked several people if they can see it and they always say no.

I have dark hair and fair skin which doesn't tan easily, so the shadow is always noticeable to me even after a close shave. No one else seems to notice - or mention it if they do.  The shadow is just a fact of life.

I suppose that we are all our own worst critics.  Most likely, you are the only one that notices the shadow.   Since my hair is mostly grey now, I have almost no shadow on the sides and just a little on top.  One advantage of being a little older. (Or should I say more mature!) :)

Hey Skinheader, if you want to save on shipping, do you have a "shaver shop" near by? Because they stock headblade and most of the popular products that go with it too. I went in there last week and had a nice chat with them last week. by the way, what is the official headblade site for australia? If the prices are cheaper then my local shaver shop it might be something worth looking into

Their starter pack does look good, and so does the free shipping, I can easily send 30 dollars there I think haha, for now though I think I will keep going into my local shaver shop, they have been just as informative as the guys on this forum so while I am still getting the hang of everything I highly value their knowledge :D

I have a local shaver shop, never asked if they sell headblade though. Do you know if they have any products to stop razor bumps?

If you order your head blade equipment via the links to their ads on this site, you get a 20% discount, and SBG gets a commission. Pretty nice deal to support SBG and get a discount yourself.

Meeting the headblade.com threshold for free shipping is a "no brainer." That's at least $10 more product for the same net cost.
