I finally succumbed!
« on: November 20, 2013, 12:55:00 PM »
My spending spreee for today. Bit gutted I went for the Matte instead of the Gloss moisturiser in error. meh.

So I shall see whether all the hype you have created is true and whether it is better than my current Hydro

I use the Headblade and HeadSlick myself.  Welcome to the club.  BTW, I'm edging into the "shave head every day" group!

Shave your head as a unit, why do guys fool around with facial hair? Leave the accessories to the birds!

Why do some people demand that everyone else do things *THEIR* way?  Why do some people think everyone is going to stop doing what they're doing because some stranger on the internet demands it?  D#tG3t

Those semi beards look like a bunch of try hards with no real world skills. You are no longer sly with a semi beard, you are hanging on to something that's not there. Talk about emphasizing your baldness, get a chin beard

It's always interesting when people who post no avatar picture of themselves are critical of how other people look.

So now we have a beard expert on the forum.   By chin beard, I'm assuming you are referring to a goatee and by inference, assuming you are talking about a full beard when you say semi beard??  ---I've not heard of these two words being used to describe beards.    Either way, "talk about emphasizing your baldness" sounds like a negative comment.  Why would you think we are not proud of our Sly heads.  I like the way facial hair looks with a bald head and so do many others.  It's not for everyone, but people who speak their opinions as fact are often not appreciated.


Slyest, It looks like you did a great job with the headblade.  Is it a much closer shave than usual?

I am afraid to ask, Slyest, but how much did it put you back to have all that shipped to London?

It didn't! I found a store in London. Well I say found Mr Jules has mentioned it, and I've been toying with it for a while.

Mike - It is quite a stash but I mainly shave my head at the gym after my work out, so I got one for gym and one for home. Still bummed about the glosse finish tho. Meh! Can't believe I didn't notice it was matte, I think I "thought" gloss and said "matte" when I was asked.

Myke - I think so, I used to be smooth anyway but I think it's been smoother for longer. The problem with my hair is I still have it on the top but it starts high and I have a bald pot rather than totally bald, which makes me want rid of stubble even more

Tracer - I don't even know what you're talking about with your beard comments.....

Well a few days in and I don't think I'll be staying a headblader. Although it first felt smooth, it now seems to take longer to shave, leaves certain parts of my head feeling rough and I'm not pleased with the back at all. Plus the blades seem to go blunt very easy! The corners of my head (you know what I mean) seem to grow back quicker too.

Lesson learned, give it a chance before overhauling alll your shaving gear as I've probably wasted too much money but I'm just not as happy with my head as I am with a Hydro

I had troubles with the Headblade as well.  Is seems that some do very well with it, but others do not.  I have be quite happy with the smoothness and ease of use with my Personna M5 Maginum razor, and the cartridges cost much less than the Fusion.  I do not know of its availability in the UK.

BTW - just ignore the comments from Tarcer.  The beard looks fine.
