Title: Count me in!
Post by: PianoMan on February 18, 2008, 07:39:09 AM: Hello everyone. I came across this site last week, and it prompted me to dive right in and go for it. I purchased the Headblade gear online and it came Saturday. There was so much advice on this forum and I couldn't wait to get started.
I've been buzzing my hair for about 5 years, going shorter and shorter. Went to the barber on Saturday and had it buzzed with no guard. Came home, got in the shower and went at it. I was a worried I wouldn't do it right, scared about razor burn and bumps. Took my time, went slow and had great success....ZERO bumps, burn or irritation. I followed up with clearhead and aloe. O0
I'm from Caledonia, MI (near Grand Rapids) and am appreciative for the push you guys gave me. I'll post a pic if someone could let me know how.
Thanks again!
Dan

You look good bro. Just remember, when that HeadBlade starts getting a little dull, don't press down harder trying to get "one more shave"! That's when I managed to scalp myself and it was a week till I could shave again! :*))

Post by: JohnMont on February 18, 2008, 02:14:41 PM: Welcome. Looking good, PianoMan !
I had the same fears about cuts; bumps; etc. but if you use the right products (Gillette Fusion is what I swear by) you do fine. I have rarely had a cut; never had bumps.

So are you a piano player? Same here -- prefer classical ; older beginner.

John - I've been playing since I was around 5, and continued through college (Michigan State). I joke that I could read music before I could read books. Stick with it and keep practicing!

Hope you stick with us, and we get to know you better.
I'm also glad you decided to use the Headblade. It's like we tell all the new guys who want to try it; just go slow and easy and follow the directions and you'll be fine.
It works wonderful. O0
