There is someone on here (orYouTube) that has a video showing him shaving his head with a straight razor.

I've used one on my face in the past, but I'd be too chicken to try it on my head.

I own a straight razor (Fromm, sold at Sally's Beauty Supply) The good thing about straight razors is that the handle and the razors are relatively cheap, and further, they stay pretty sharp for a long time. The downside is that you have to keep them clean and covered, or they will rust up in a hurry. Also, when using, it requires extreme care, as a cut from one of these will bleed for a while. Good Luck!
Even when the d is removed, the devil is still evil.

I have a Straight razor, I've been meaning to teach myself how to use it properly, but I just feel more confident with a DE. I think the only way I'd ever be able to use a SR on my head is if I split off into a 2nd person.

Being that I'm on anti-coagulants for the foreseeable future, I'm too chicken to try a DE least of all a straight razor LOL
