Not sure yet. All my hats feel different.

I have collage classes tomorrow should be interesting to see if any one notices/reacts.

Looking good! Don't worry about nicking yourself. It's all part of the process. I've been shaving my head for 9 months and I still nick myself occasionally.
Hair is over rated.

Don't say anything. Let others mention it first.

Currently my head kinda feels like a fine grit sand paper. Especially right were my hair line use to be.  When I shaved I use some clippers for the big chunks and then lathered up with Gillette Fusion Proglide Shave Gel and used the proglide razer on it. This is what I usually use on my face. Is their a way to avoid this sandpaper feel? Is this more to do with the fact that its my first time and my scalp needs some time to adjust?

I've seen a few mentions of this "headblade" thing I may look into it.

The grit is the stubble. You can avoid it by shaving again.

Looks great! As you said, not much difference...if you want it smoother, after you get used to shaving, shave against the grain (upward on the sides and back, and backwards on the top). As for shadow, it's going to be there until you get a tan.
Even when the d is removed, the devil is still evil.

Sandpaper feel happens. A close shave with the head blade delays the sand paper feel.

Some love the headblade. Some hate it.  I love it. Use it daily.

But take it easy at first.

Yeah I don't want to nick myself right there where everyone can see it before my first day in public with it. Think I'll just leave it alone for now.

Sly works well for ya. Beard or facial hair I think is purely optional. As a lady, I even prefer bald guys who have smooth faces too. 

Good luck adjusting! Welcome!

So I got a head blade the other day and I gotta say it makes a great shave. Very close and smooth.

However the quality control needs some work. After I shaved my head I thought I'd try it on my face just because the package said it could. And then it broke!



Well I suppose I could have tried to return it but that sounded like work... And I would have to go without it for my next shave! Nuts to that I said!





Problem solved!

I think this bald thing is growing on me. Guess I'll keep at it till the end of the month at least.

Your unintentional spring upgrade is actually something I have been considering, I reckon it would help with pressure control.
