Today is the day...
« on: February 25, 2009, 01:56:22 PM »
Today is the day I am going to go Sly. This morning I drove over to Coeur d' Alene to go to the walgreens and picked up a set of clippers, a head blade, some headblade shaving stuff, and a bottle of headlube glossy. I also got some apricot scrub stuff too. I am going to do it sometime today, I will get some before and after pics. I am so excited!

Well I did it. I had my brother shave the hair off then I showered and used the head blade. I thought it was going to be harder or that I would cut myself but I only cut one spot on my ear. Then I rinsed in cold water which felt different, it seemed like all the skin on my head shrank or something. After that I put some headlube glossy on and took pics. I like it and so does everyone that has seen it so far.

Okay here is before



And here is after

Thanks, I love it so far. I went out to the garage to grab something and it was like nothing else. Even in the house I can feel the heat with my head before I feel it else where.

Great look,  brother. 

BTW when you finish with a cold water rinse, it does close the pores and the feeling is instantaneous.  At least that's how it works for me.  Also, then when you apply the headlube it is easy to detect any little spots that you may have missed on the shave.  The clean up then is pretty easy.

Keep us informed on reactions.  Congrats!

Lol, I don't know if anyone else has had this happen before but when I walked past a mirror I had to look twice because it didnt 'click' in my head that it was me. I am also suprised that I only have one small scar on my head, I fell out of trees and off of roofs and down stairs so many times when I was younger, I thought I was going to have gashes and gouges but it looks 'normal'. My head has an odd numb feeling to it but my older brother said it should go away in a couple days.

It looks great.  With hair, you look like a nice, young guy.   Shaved clean, you look like a bad ass.    You made the right decision.

Hey be sure to give Mch III a chance.   I have never used headblade but Mach III is probably the easiest razor to use.  Not only that but it gives you a really smooth shave.    O0
You can keep going with headblade, but for a beginner I don't know it wouldn't be too good of an idea if you cut yoruself really bad from headblade..........if you have followed some stories here when the headblade cuts you it will hurt bad!!!!  With Mach III even someone like me who still struggles to shave fast enough can have a great shave without cuts and bleeding.  Cheers.
