At the moment I am shavin every second day. Hope my head toughens up as my scalp was quite tender yesterday. quite sandpapery today but not too noticeable (mainly cos there was hardly any hair left before I shaved anyway- hee hee)
Hello all. New guy... both to this forum, and to being a slick top.I must be some kind of freak... I shave about 5:30 am, and by 9am I have about 1200 grit sandpaper going on. By lunchtime, I have visible stubble.I am still new to this, and don't get a perfectly close shave yet... but it is pretty smooth.I do have very thick hair, and a full head of it, so it is difficult to keep it at bay.I shaved for the first time on Friday, and headbladed it on Sunday. I am really liking the headblade so far... it is very different than a normal razor, that is for sure.
Well, I shave from the front to the back in long strokes. So, basically against the grain in the front, and with the grain in the back.I am going to try both directions tomorrow, as well as the sensor 3 blades (I use a sensor razor normally on my face).Even with that, I do get it pretty smooth. I know I can get a closer shave with more practice though.I am going to get some HeadSlick, and the HeadBlade shaving cream in the near future and see how that helps out. I have heard nothing but good stuff about the HeadBlade products.
But recently, I've been having these disastrous screw-ups and I've been slicing my head up really bad because I'm in a hurry, so I usually only shave every other day (if that).
When I first started shaving I would be smooth for maybe 8 hours. Now I dont know if its because I am getting old so I dont have as much hair to shave or if its because my hair is growing slower. Normally I shave at about 5:30-6 in the mornings and I dont get the sandpaper feel until around 9 or 10 at night.
