I decided on the Headblade Sport (the only HB they had), with triple blades. I've used the Mach3 on my face before, and always got a little blood. I'll probably get blood with the HB for the first few times too, but I just think it'll be easier for me in the long run. I also got the Headshield gel, and an aftershave balm with SPF 15. I'm sure I'll find my own routine from here, but is there anything else I absolutely need right off the bat?

Now that I have everything I need, I really want to just shave it all off now! I probably won't wait a week. But I do want my goatee to grow a little longer. Probably two days at the most.

How long do the shaves take, before I get used to the routine?

Probably less than 10 min. Trick to HB,, NO PRESSURE on the blades, for me it seems the HB works better with quicker strokes, Probably should rinse after every stroke, I usually make two passes then rinse. Start shaving WITH the grain for a couple shaves, then if you want it real close shave against the grain. I have to shave mine everyday or the stubble is horrible,,, so I always shave against the grain.

Get,, I steal my wifes,,, an exfoliant and use it every couple of days.

Oh yea the most important thing enjoy.

I'm a HeadBlader and love it...... but I would be cautious about using it for your first head shave.

just shaving your head takes few times to get used to it...... same with the HB... takes a few shaves to get used to it. Could be a bad combination. You may want to try with your current razor once or twice before trying the HB.
