DE Head Shaver - New to Forum
« on: December 16, 2014, 10:34:13 AM »
Just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Sean, and I have been shaving my head with a DE safety razor for about one year now.  Looking forward to hearing other gents' experiences with DE head shaving.  Here's a picture of some of my vintage Gillette adjustables.  They're my favorites for head shaving as well as my Gillette open combs.

Hi Sean:  Welcome to the sly fraternity.  Glad to see another head shaver who shaves the traditional way.  Love your pic of your vintage Gillettes.  When you get a chance kindly post up your SOTD pics in the Safety Razor Section of the Forum. O0

Welcome.  The Fatboy has recently become my favorite as well.  I'm actually getting it recalibrated right now so my 9 is about 2 levels above normal.

Welcome, Sean.  You look really good with a totally smooth scalp.  I am still using the HeadBlade (or, rather, I'll resume using it when I finish recovery from surgery), but it would be interesting to try a double-edge at some point.  Keep us updated.

Welcome Sean.  Great choice! The DE Safety Razors are excellent.  As a matter of fact, we were providing the standard cartridge razors and have just switched (totally) from cartridge to providing the DE Safety Razors to our members.  It's good to see others having positive experiences with the DEs as well.
