If you've check the introductions lately, you'll know that I'm relatively new to the world of bald. Here's a question:I do well shaving my head except for an area on the very top of my head, in front of the whorl on the back of my head. No matter what I do there, it's still pretty bristly. I've tried going back over it from several direction, and nothing seems to make a difference. Ideas? Suggestions?Thanks.Gene.
Wow, I've never heard of any kind of hair that could stand up to a couple of swipes from a Gillette Fusion.

Also, I go at this one area from every conceivable angle but have found that for me left to right gets most of it. Also, I recently added King of Shaves Oil to my routine and it helped get it smoother for some reason...I use KoS Alpha Oil with Headblade Headslick on top of it, and use Sensor double blades on the Headblade Sport (trying HB doubles tonight) and I can get it 99% smooth. When I first began I was using Headblade Triples and I was getting it maybe 85% smooth (just that one spot ... the rest I was getting totally smooth).Also, I tried the Mach 3 on just this one area after I have headbladed it and nada ... Mach 3 didn't touch a single bristle...Hope that helps some... What works for me may not work for you, but it's worth a go. I will try the side-to-side passes and see if that makes a difference. So far, I've just been going back-to-front and front-to-back, with a little bit of diagonal in the back-to-front. Stay tuned.Gene.
