Hello from Jamaica
« on: February 15, 2014, 01:32:23 AM »
I've been shaving my head and for over 10 years with my handy wahl clippers because I was always prone to razor bumps. I was tempted a few times last year to try out disposables that my big brother occasionally left in the shower, BUT I still got razor bumps every time.
It occurred to me finally that I wasn't doing it right and I started researching on the net. So from discovering the importance of mixing my own lather to the discovery of DE shaving, I can happily report that I've retired my clippers and I am now loving my shaving experience for the last 3 months(razor bumps be gone).

You look great shaved, but you're throwing me off with the Trini colors there, man!

Welcome to the forum rookie. One thing I've always said is" less blades equal a better shave", hands down. We don't need 4 or 5 blades to get a great, smooth shave, regardless of what Gillette says. I normally use a double blade cartridge on my HB sport, and it works way better than the new multi cartridges they are currently pushing. Enjoy the forum and keep the dome smooth.   O0
