Well, I've been using the clipper for a while and tonight I feel it's time to move on. I'm taking out the razor. Actually, I'm going to the mall and then out to dinner. Hopefully I can find a place that sells the headblade. I know CVS used to sell them. If so, I'm taking it home and shaving the dome to a shine. If I can.
I just shaved my head with a clipper today, and I just feel reading for the blade.
Wish me Luck.

Good luck & have fun!

First time? I'd recommend a "normal" razor rather than the HB. The HB takes some getting used to.
Be sure to post after photos!

What he said, HB is a little tricky-- O0

Walgreens has the Headblade products on sale this weekend. You might save a few bucks by stocking up. That's what I did.

Welcome aboard! I will have to agree on using a normal razor for your first time. The headblade is more apt to take off bumps that you didn't realize you had on your head. :o I speak from experience. :XX

Good luck stemikger! O0

Hey guys. I could not find the Headblade last night, and I was too tired to do it with my mach 3. However, tonight is the night. I will put the pics up when it is done. As always thanks for the support.

Thanks mangosink, but I didn't do it yet. The other picture was very close, but not shaved yet. Well, here is the update. I was all set to do it with the Mach 3 last night and I found this product that I couldn't stop thinking about, so now I have to try it. The catch is I have to wait until tomorrow morning because it has to charge for 16 hours.
It is called the conaire cleanhead and it promises to get as close as a blade. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Here is the link if you are interested.

All this is fine and good, but be reminded that the blade, M3, M5, Fusion, or HB, whatever--that's the "Gold Standard" and until you're to the wood with the Gold Standard, you haven't experienced the essence of Sly, we promise.

Good luck with your first shave...... whether with the CH or HB...........

O.K. guys. I did it. I used the Conair Cleanhead and there was a little learning curve, but it got me just as close as a blade. I didn't think it would, so now there is no turning back now. I'm going to try to put up some pics now. My apologizes if they come in too big or small. I'm not well versed with downloading photos.
I'll also give a little review on the next post. I'm still on the fence about it becuase it's new to me and like anything else in life, I have to get used to it, but the bottomline is it got very close. I shaved with a blade a few times and my head felt the same way it does now. Oh and my wife hates it so, I know it got close. LOL.

Looks pretty good. I know about the wife not liking it, but for me--it's just not her head, it's mine!
-
Yes Saintc. I believe we spoke about the wife challenge. That is why the pics came out so bad. I had to take them myself. She wanted nothing to do with taking pics of my bald head. LOL.
-
Well, at least for me, she's got to learn to tolerate it. Love her :@`, but love my dome too O:O.
-
Looks fantastic!
My partner doesn't like me sly -- he prefers the buzzed look. But since I wear it buzzed for (what passes for) the winter, he doesn't moan too much about it during the warmer months.
Tell us more about the clippers!

Tell us more about the clippers!
I was pretty shocked how close they got. I only used a razor to my head twice and truthfully this did the same exact thing.
However, because I had a very short crew it took a little longer because I used the trimmer attachment first. If you want to keep the clean look and use it every day, I don't see it taking more then 5 minutes at the most.
I think I'll keep it clean for that reason and probably do it every other day.
Also, on those other occassions when I used a razor blade I cut my head up pretty bad. This think left me with no iratation at all. To me that was the best part.
After thinking about the process, I would highly recommend it because from here on in, I know it will only get easier.
I hope it is durable and lasts long. It says on the instructions with regular use you should replace the cutter and foil every 6 months. The cutter and foil assembly comes as one unit and is $10. It also has a 5 year limited warranty.
Here is a picture of the back of my head so you can get more of a reference on how clean it got my head.
