Title: New Guy
Post by: goodknightdj on November 21, 2010, 08:04:07 AM
Folks:

I just wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Tom Ohlendorf. I am a semi-retired DJ by night and a Federal employee by day.

I've been shaving my head for close to two years now. I have tried various blades and am open to other experiments.

Before anyone says anything, I have tried the headblade and am not happy with that one. I am looking for a blade that can both handle my head and my face.

Welcome DJ Tom. My current weapon of choice for my face and head is the GilletteĀ® Fusion ProGlide. This is a very well made razor. The commercials had me a bit skeptical at first, but once I tried it, I truly liked it. Probably the best headsave ever.

Rodger,
Over & Out  O0

Welcome to the community buddy, I hope you enjoy your stay O0

P.S.: you can flip the blade around on the Headblade so its easier to shave with.

Welcome!

I'm not a big HeadBlade fan either. I wanted to like it, but it just doesn't work well for me -- or I'm just too klutzy to use it properly.

A good old Mach3 works just fine for my head and face.

Welcome.  While there are a lot of HB fans, a substantial number still prefer other weapons--I really like the Personna M5--but I know that it's an affair that must end.  Fortunately I have a pretty good stache of M5 blades and now that I stopped shaving my face they'll last a lot longer O0.

Welcome aboard Tom.   After years of shaving, I am back to the old reliable, Mach 3.   For me it is still the best answser for the dome and the face.

Welcome to the Sly Guy Team, DJ Tom!!

                               (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi492.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Frr285%2Fcroatoan5376%2FEmoticons%2Fsmiley_emoticons_mttao_dj.gif&hash=98da032c92a44a3ba1479e0759af79bb5cc54700)

I'd say your quest for a suitable razor to your liking would probably either be something from the Gillette FUSION line, or the Mach3.

Seems to be a popular "weapon of choice" outside of the HB.

Welcome to the SBG's forum Tom. You may want to try the ProGlide, it gives a great shave but is a bit pricey for refill cartridges. I agree with Paul in recommending the Mach III, it's still one of the best shave values around for overall shaving.   O0

DJ Tom, welcome to the best bald forum on the Internet   O0

There are many good blades out there; some brand names, some inexpensive, copy-cats, etc.
My preferences (so far) are the Mach 3 and the Fusion.  I also tried the Headblade and wasnt' excited about it  ???  Maybe I'm old fashion, or maybe I don't want a set of wheels running across my head  :/O

Hi Tom: Mach 3 and fusion are my choice too: equally good for head and face.

Welcome and enjoy O0
