Problems with the Sides

<< < (2/8) > >>

BaldRob:
that's the one problem with the HeadBlade that I've run into... the sides!!  Just can't get them close and have a stripe above my ears!  Never worry though... that's what the fusion is for...  ;D

CarlosMIS:
I'm my case I use the HeadBlade shaving with the grain in the back then I used my Fusion sideways around the back and sides just letting slide with very little pressure. The back on my ears I do againts the grain (upwards) very very slow and carefully.. So far not a cut or irritation.

 ;D

Sheeple:
I have had zero luck shaving against the grain on the top and back of my head. Back being the worst.

All previous attempts to shave against the grain have left my head in such a condition as to cause other folks the empathy pain. (About half as bad as watching someone get kicked in the stones.)

Fusion works fine for me goin with the grain on the top sides and back, and sideways on the sides. Anything else is a no go.  :(

One thing that helped me was to go with the grain on a first past and then go against the grain on a second pass.  It could also help if you re-lube on the second pass.

Sheeple:
Have attempted both relube'n and doin with the grain first as prep. Gone so far as to even try a fresh razor head for the against the grain pass.

The only thing I have not tired is stubborn persistence. In all actuality, my head does not hurt as much as people apparently think it does, it is only sensitive for maybe a few hours.

If I plow ahead and just do it daily, will my skin adapt?
