From a 0 buzz to totally smooth took me just about three weeks. I had been gradually going lower and lower for some time. I had always said if I keep losing it, it's all coming off. I knew which direction I was going. Once I had the 0a buzz, I knew it was just a matter of time, and my buds here helped me finally take that leap.   O0

About 45 minutes.

Prior to going sly on 1-1-07, I wore it at a #1 setting for all of Dec. 2006. On New Year's Day 2007, I buzzed it at #0, went for a 4 mile run, then took the HeadBlade for its maiden voyage.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I did the #0 fro about 8 months, give or take a  month. It was a weird situation when I decided to go for it I had seen the HB a couple of years ago in the back of playboy, and thought that was a graeat idea, but never could find one. I was in Jacksonville FL for work and was shopping and I came across one and I had to get it, but I still wasn't sure when I would actully do it. The HB sat on my desk for a week. I thought I needed a fresh buzz so I gave myself the 0. When I was done I turned and seen the HB and I thought WTF and I went to scraping it down and I'll never look back.

I went from the no. 2 to a bic in exactly a week. I originally asked the barber to take it all off, but he thought I should have some hair on my head (?). I had no way to maintain it other than taking a disposable razor to it, so that's what happened. I like it better this way.
