I've always wanted to know what men look for in a razor. What do you prefer to use? I find straight razors to be cool,in an old fashioned kind of way,even though I'd never use it on my head.
-
I prefer any razor that will make my head BBS and not cause cuts. I've found razors like Mach 3 and Fusion Proglide that do the job as well as DE safety razors (depending on the blade used). I wish I could use a straight razor on my head but had a bad experience with it one time and cut myself even being careful not to.
-
At the moment I use a DE on the face and fusion on the head. I need more practice with the DE on the head before using it exclusively.
-
I've run the gamut (electric, HeadBlade, Mach 3) and now use a Fusion on a daily basis. When I have extra time in the morning (a rarity), I use a DE on my face and the top and sides of my head. I haven't gotten good enough to use a DE on the back of my head, so I stay with the Fusion for that. I've had straight razor shaves, but never tried to do it myself.
-
Personna M5 Magnum. Can't find it in the stores anymore so I may have to start looking around soon.
-
Gillette Mach 3 or Mach 3 sensitive are my favorites. I occasionally shave with my DE Edwin Jagger and use feather blades. I find the DE is very hard for me to get the hang of ATG on the back of my head.
-
Merkur Progress DE is at the top of my list right now, with my Fatboy and R41 not far behind. I've been practicing on the face with a Parker SR1 shavette style razor, but it'll probably be another month or so before I'm comfortable trying it on my head.

I actually just use Wilkinson sword razors. I can get them in packs of 4 for a little over a dollar at Walmart. About 5-6 bucks for razors and a 3.00 can of shaving gel lasts me all month
-
I go back and forth between my Panasonic Arc-3 electric and the Wilkinson Sword disposables at Walmart that metalhead mentioned. These disposables do a surprisingly good job and they're cheap. I buy a package of 12 for a little less than $3 ...plus the $3 can of shave gel and Shave Secret. I get a BBS shave every time.
-
I happen to be a straight razor shaver. I use either a dovo classic or a feather artist club dx when Iam at home when I travel I use a head blade.
-
Tried various over the 2 years i have been shaving my noggin. Really prefer the Mach 3 now.
-
My personal choice would be a straight razor (if only I knew how to use one properly & with confidence!), however, I kind of gravitate either to the Gillette Mach 3 Fusion or a Head-Blade at the present time.
I have used an electric shaver & battery shavers before but can never quite get as smooth as a blade in my estimation.
-
For me its the head blade sport, I just get the best shave ever and head slick..
-
Although I am about to treat myself to a safety razor shave in 5 minutes.
-
I shave my face with a straight, and also use a DE razor. I first shaved my head with a DE razor before I invested in a HeadBlade. I wouldn't use a straight along the back of my head, far too dangerous without being able to see what you're doing! But if you were to practice often and get a feel for it, I'm sure you could.
For ease and quick shaving times, I find the HeadBlade is the winner.
-
I started shaving my head about three months ago with a Phillips Norelco 1250x and it does a pretty good job.
But about two times now I grabbed the Norelco and I forgot to charge it so I shaved with a Mach 3 and man this is a different shave. Love the closeness, the feeling and it was so much fun.
Maybe I'll buy a DE safety razor just for the fun of it and see if I like it.
I'm a guy who likes to do things old school, in fact, I just smoked a really nice tobacco pipe with some single malt scotch.
-
I use the Gillette fusion. I do occasionally use a straight razor on my face but don't have a lot of time in the morning.
-
I just started shaving my head and since I am a big DE safety razor fan for shaving my face I have begun using a Merkur 38c on my head, but this definitely takes me some time to complete. Maybe that is because I am newer to the process. I would like to purchase an electric razor as well for when I am in a rush and just need to get a decent shave fast. I was looking online and found this list (http://www.primandprep.com/best-electric-shaver-for-head/) of the best electric shavers for your head. Would anybody suggest one of these or possibly another that is not on this list?

The HeadBlade S4 is my weapon of choice.
