You're absolutely right. Where is the feedback. I am sorry but it has been a few months of odd times. Not bad, not great, but a little of both at the same time. Hard to explain I guess.

Anyway, So, I love full shaved against the grain. I am lazy though so I tend to shave every other day. Honestly I kinda like the second day look, but I cannot get that with a shaver so I end up getting both; shaved and second day. The wife digs the smooth dome.

Ok, now to all that I have learned, I have tried King Of Shaves and Headslick as well as a couple others although those have been the best for me. KOS wins only slightly. The only difference I feel is that I get a slight sting on the back of my head with Headslick. Also, I have tried four different types of blades and Atra Double blades are my favorite.

Lastly, cold water and pure Aloe Vera. After I shave, cold water on the dome is mandatory. I no longer have bumps at all because of this. Also, I tend to look a little flaky after drying so the Aloe Very makes it nice and shiny, keeps the bumps down and gets rid of the dry scalp.

Overall, I wanted to thank you all for the suggestions given on this site. Although I have not said much here, the suggestions given have been most helpful.

Welcome Todd.  Glad you found us.  I go from the front to back(all the way to the bottom of the back of my neck) first.  Then I go from back to the top, or crown, of my head.  I do this because the hair on the back of my head seems to be thicker than on top or on the sides.  So I go front to back first to cut it down some.

My only issue is that I use the Headblade Sport from front to back so I do not go against the grain on the back. That means I can feel stubble back there. I've gone against a few times back there but I am just nervous to do so (that'll probably change). Do you all go against in the back?

Anyway, I'm Todd and glad to be a member!

Welcome Todd!

Turn the HeadBlade around and go from bottom to top!  ;)
