Newly SLY
« on: December 01, 2012, 05:57:18 PM »
Hello everyone my name is Isaiah and I have been on the fence for about a year and just getting my hair cut lower and lower to a point that it was basically just a shadow. I went to my barber yesterday and looked at him and told him to do it, he already knew what I was talking about. So now I am bald he did the WAHL 5 star shaver and it was pretty smooth yesterday but a little more that 24 hours later I feel the stubble and I am thinking about taking a razor to it to keep it clean. I am not going back so I am here to stay just debating between the trimmer or razor route. But regardless hello and I hope I can bring something to the forum because I am sure I will get alot from it

Yes use the razor daily.

It's a nice look/feel.

Welcome to the club mate!

Definitely razor shave it, the feeling is an amazing thing, so much better then just a trimmed shave

Thanks a lot guys, I am going to get at it first thing this morning. Do you guys highly recommend the Headblade ATX or is it just as easy with a standard razor

Opinions will vary widely regarding standard razor versus the HeadBlade.

I haven't used the ATX, but I've used the HeadBlade Sport since the first day and can't imagine using anything else.

Welcome Isaiah, to the forum. I would suggest shaving so you can experience the feeling and look. At this point it's easy to change your mind and in a few days you'll have the original fuzz back. Enjoy and good luck.

 Welcome Bandit.  Take the plunge.  Shave it all off with a razor, it is one of the most exhilarating things you can do for yourself.  Look at it as just another hairstyle which is becoming rather "in" these days.  I highly reccomend the Headblade Sport.  You can buy generic twin blades to fit which work just as well as the Headblade blades.  Good luck with your decision.

I shaved with a regular blade this morning and it wasn't bad at all, I have never really had problems with hair bumps (knock on wood). I was looking around and found out that Wallgreens sells HB Sport so I just picked one up

Thanks A Lot Guys

Welcome, Bandit.

If the stubble bothers you, you are much better off with the razor.  As you can see, most of the guys on here swear by it..
