Title: Just got back from my first head shave
Post by: smoothsailing on March 21, 2013, 07:31:26 PM: I went to a great place called Floyd's where this good looking Latina woman gave me a straight-edge head shave. I have to say while it's not perfectly smooth, I'm very pleased with the feeling.

I see a lot of "30 day rule" threads but honestly this seems like my kind of thing just a couple hours after the fact. I'm sure I'll be rocking it for a while- was getting tired of the oily, thinning mop that was attached to my head.

Post by: smoothsailing on April 04, 2013, 06:48:18 PM: Thanks for continued kind words all!

I went a day without shaving for the first time and it was bittersweet. While I dislike not having a smooth head, it was a welcome relief to my skin. When I shaved the day after, my skin was stronger and healthier and resulted in almost no razor burn. Usually I have a little burn which I mostly attribute to sensitive skin that hasn't adjusted to daily razor use (and that I'm using a DE razor and still learning haha)
