Salutations Sly Guys,
Just took a shower using an exfoliating wash (CVS brand Gentle Exfoliating Wash), and I'm feeling more or less good. My head pulls a bit less when it's rubbed now, so I think it's working pretty well. I'm gonna wait till either tomorrow or in a couple of days until I shave again though.
I actually saw a HeadBlade at the CVS, and it looks slicker than a mother. But God almighty, the prices on the blades! And I'm pretty sure they didn't have the blades that the HeadBlade needs. I'm itching like a dog to get it, but I'm gonna see if I can get my money's worth with the rest of my Bic blades, and I'm gonna check to see if I can get the right blades for it.
This bald stuff is pretty hard work, here's hoping it's worth it.
Optimistic,
Bizzle

Bizzle, the Headblade is compatable with either Gillette Atra or Gillette Sensor blades, which are both readily available at most places you can get razor blades. I bought a 5-pack of Sensor Excel blades today at my nearby Wal-Mart for 8 bucks, and I think the Atra's are cheaper than that. My HB is probably the best investment I've made in my headcare, I just wish I had a Sport model.

Damn, damn.
Just tried shaving again, and my head still came out completely bloody. Chalk one more to fate. At least it's not *as* bloody as it was before, so maybe I have to give it a while longer. Maybe it is the blade, I dunno.
Oh well. Thanks anyway for your help, guys.
Disappointed,
Bizzle

was it healed all the way or still bumpy?
You might have just re-injured your head.
At least its better...

Hey Marz,
Yeah, I think I just totally messed up my scalp here, or at least re-injured it a bunch. I threw a lot of alcohol on my head and kept wiping it down with a towel, and it burned when i put moisturizer on. it burned like crazy when I took a shower. Now it feels tight and it still hurts a bit. I'm pretty worried I might have done something.
Damn damn. I don't think I'm gonna mess with my head again for a while.
Bah,
Bizzle

I doubt you damaged your head, the scalp is pretty resilient.
take a break and let it heal up completely and give it a go with the latest method once it is back in good shape.

Just a suggestion to think about. This may be related to acne, so just stick to buzzing at #0 for a week or so. Once the healing has reached just red bumps, get some 10% benzoyl peroxide and use it twice a day after washing with a mild antiseptic soap or an acne soap. Then once it's healed nicely, start again, BUT after every shave use the 10% benzoyl peroxide as the first ointment after you dry your head. After it drys, some non-oily scalp treatment w/o alcohol, Nivea for example.
As I said, just a suggestion, but I've had bad skin all my life and until benzoyl peroxide came up I had pimples all the time especially in the beard area but not since using it. I've also been using it on my scalp since I started slying my head, and so far clean & clear, and it's three weeks.

HOLY SHITAKE
Alright, here's how it went:
I'm coming home after taking the bus, right? My bus stop is right in front of CVS, and as I'm walking home, I look back.
"Eh. You know what? I guess I will check out this 'HeadBlade' stuff everyone's talking about."
So I get a Sport HB and head home. I take my shower, exfoliate my head, use the HeadSlick that comes with the blade, pop it on my finger, and take a deep breath...
HOLY
MOTHER
OF
GOD
(pardon my language)
Absolutely no bleeding, no problems, and it was THE CLOSEST SHAVE I EVER HAD. Seriously, my head is a goddamn cueball now. Completly smooth, no irritation, no aftereffects, 100% perfect all across the board.
Try to picture a naked bald black guy running through his house screaming with joy.
actually, don't.
And I got no one to thank but you guys. Should've taken your advice in the first place. I think I'm gonna be pretty happy with this from now on. Thanks a million Sly guys! Now, I got a head to polish.
Stayin' Sly til I die,
Bizzle
