I shaved my dome for the 2nd time today with the HeadBlade. Both times I did not have a nick on the head or neck. However, I did nick the top of the opposite ear. The 2nd time, I tried shaving the entire dome using one hand. Not a good move for a rookie. HeadBlade's website recommends switching hands for each side of the nugget. I think that's a good idea. Personal trial & error will tell.

  Maybe the wife will join me?!?!?!

That's some good thinking!

Ha!  I think I would be afraid to let my wife shave my head.  Because of her Filipina heritage, she doesn't have to shave her legs much, so I'm thinking she doesn't have much experience with a razor.  Though, she can get in the shower and help... :o

Which HeadBlade did you end up getting?  I'm thinking of getting the one with the wheels on it.

I use the sport (the one with wheels) and love it!  Though, I never did try the classic.

Classic has worked fine for me. I'm not sure how much benefit I'd get from the wheels. Just shaved after my run this afternoon and no nicks whatsoever. SLY is here to stay!
