Title: It's addicting!
Post by: Oracle on July 14, 2011, 02:06:32 PM

I commented the other night that I thought that I was going to give my head a rest and shave just every other night for a while due to a little irritation  I was developing on the sides of my head.  Well, that hasn't happened!  I just can't stand not shaving my head daily!  The irritation issue has resolved itself since I switched to using Head Slick and Fusion ProGlide Blades.  I did nick myself for the first time last night but it was actually on an old raised scar on the back of my neck from a cut I suffered as a kid - doesn't count if it wasn't on the head does it?

I've been shaving at night because a smooth head on a cool, clean pillow is just about as soothing a sensation as you could hope for before drifting off to sleep. ;)

Shortly after I went sly, I ran into a neighbor who is also sly at the local bagel shop.  He told me that I was really going to enjoy it and that I'd get addicted to shaving daily to stay smooth.   At first, I didn't believe him, but I've discovered that I'm addicted!  I look forward to the ritual and most of all, the results. 

I shave in the morning so that I feel clean and smooth for most of the work day.  A few times, I've done a touch up after work to get back to the great feeling.  I'll even put up with a little irritation because nothing beats the looks and feeling of a smooth, shiny dome.

Yes! The pillow effect is often overlooked and underappreciated!

I'll have to give it a try!

Ditto on the pillow.

I tried the nighttime shave - the pillow effect is great, especially since it's been so hot and humid.  Perhaps I'll double my addiction and shave twice a day - smooth dome for work, smooth dome for sleep!
