I'm glad that I found this post. I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, and I'm currently undergoing treatments at the Duke Brain Tumor Center in Durhman, NC. I'm getting daily radiation and chemo, and I'm optimistic about my chances. All is well here.
I am very much a Type A personality, and I am doing everything in my power to beat cancer using assertive nutrition, fitness, meditation, and other personal techniques. Part of my strategy includes eliminating unnecessary metals and toxins in my body, so I've switched to electric shaving for my face. I bought the top of the line Braun electric foil razor, and it is working very well.
Because of the radiation and chemo, I'm at a point where it is almost time for me to shave my head bald. I'm ready to do it. I'm going to a barber to have it done for the first time, but I'm hoping I can use the Braun to maintain it. I'll switch to cream and regular razors if I have to, but I'm hoping this works for me.
Has anyone used the Braun foil razor with success to keep their head bald? Any tips or tricks? Also, I am getting a lot of skin irritation because of the radiation aimed at my head. I'm going to try some of the Nutragena products to manage it. Any advice about that?
Thanks for considering the questions of a total noob.
