Hi All!
I am a 63 year old male. About 15 years ago I started losing my hair in the front along both sides of the top. A friend of mine with a similar situation got a buzz cut and it looked pretty sharp. I asked him about it and he said it was easy. After hemming and hawing for a few weeks, I took the plunge and never looked back.
Fast forward 15 years, my hair line was continuing to retreat and my curiosity about head shaving was advancing. I spent many days reading about and watching videos of head shaving. I found HeadBlade's web site and learned all I could about it. I then went out and bought the ATX and Slick at Walgreen's.
After a few more days of weighing the pros and cons and mustering courage, at the beginning of an extended July 4 weekend, I thought I would stick one toe in the water. I have been shaving my face with a Braun Series 7 shaver and had nightmare memories of shaving with a blade when I was in my teens. So I started on my head with the same clippers, sans comb, that I used to give myself a buzz cut. I then went to work on my head with the Braun. Passable results to the eye, but I could tell it wasn't blade close.
Six days later, today, after shaving my head this morning with the Braun I came home from work and decided to try the HeadBlade. I had concerns about a small bump near the crown of my head that has been there for years, but what the heck!
The shave was amazing thanks to all the advice I got from all the generous posters on this site. The HeadSlick made the operation easier than expected. The small bump did bleed a little, but stopped with a quick treatment.
I followed up with a cold water rinse and an aftershave oil concoction that I found on megaoils.com which consists of Jojoba oil, Sandalwood oil, Lavender oil and clove oil to which I added Eucalyptus oil. I rubbed that into my wet head and let it air dry. The oil soaks into the scalp and keeps it moist, leaving a nice natural shine.
Bald is beautiful (even though there is not much hope for the rest of me)!
