Title: O.K. to use same razor to shave face and head?
Post by: glowingrock on March 14, 2008, 11:57:15 AM
I'm considering the shaved head thing and don't know much about it.  Is it O.K. to use the same razor for both the head and the face?

Unless you got cash to throw away, use the same razor for head and face. I have been doing so for the past 8 years, but dont tell the tax man lol

I'm all into simplicity.  Always have used the same razor for face and dome.

I have been told that its not ok to use the same blade onhead and face.. The reason why is cause you oils in your skin and oils in your face are different and may cause irratation.. doens happen to everone but is possible.

I use two different razors. Headblade with Sensor Excel on my head and Schick Quatro power on my face.

It wouldnt be a problem if you rinse the blade off after you shave your head.....correct??

I use a Mach3 for my noggin'. Sometimes I indulge and use Fusion.
Then it's just a simple switch to a disposable two blader for my face.

You can use the same blade for both the head and face. But I'm a miser and want to prolong the life of the more expensive three/four blade razors. That's why I switch to the two blader for my face.

Use a potato peeler.
It's environmentally friendlier than the gas mower.

I use the same for both.  Been using the Fusion as of late, although I am probably using more blades than before, since  I started shaving  the dome recently......

I even use the same blade on my headblade to shave my butt....you know how easy that has become...the headblade just goes over each cheek, just the same as it does on my noggin.

A few years ago a Dr on some tv show recommended head shavers use another razor for

their face. Something about spreading bacteria.

I would think what ever bacteria I had on my face would be on my head as well.  I have been using the same blade on face as well as head for almost a year now....and I dont have any abnormalities....



Or to most of you guys...im abnormal anyways

Like a lot of the other guys have already said, my response would be "Heck yeah!" I've used the same razor to shave my face & head since day one. In my case, it's mainly a financial consideration - I can't really afford separate razors. That being said, I'd be willing to bet my shave is as close as anybody's..Yay Quattro! 8)

Post by: The Zook on September 03, 2008, 11:46:48 AM
You can.

I prefer the Headblade with Sensor 3 blades for my head and Sensor Excel with Sensor 3 blades for my face, though. That way I can use the same blades but a more specialized handle for each application.
