looking to upgrade my technique...

Hi guys,

After switching to the Headblade full time, I've been noticing that while it takes less time and shaves just a tad closer, I get some wicked razor burn, mainly around the ears and below the bump in the back.

I'm using the HB Sport with Sensor3 cartridges, KOS AlphaGel or Headlube, shave in the shower, against the grain, and still, get some nicks and razorburn....

Any tips on cutting out the nicks?

Thanks

Dude, just like GBORN you are really BBC, looks like you have sick thick hair under that razored dome...

one thing you might try is to gel up or foam or moisterize heavily in the shower , then reapply what you shave with and shave at the sink...looks like you just need a lot of extra pretime to get those suckers ready scrape off!

Keep it as smooth as possible dude, hope it helps!

It's my curse.... I usually get 2 shaves per blade. I'll try the "pre-time" idea though, walk around with head full of shaving cream, that'll freak my roommates out
