Title: I feel like a cheater.
Post by: Nick912 on March 26, 2008, 05:44:28 PM
Team,
 
I have to admit something. I used a high end electric on my head today. It was my buddy's Braun Pulsonic that he has been using. I have to tell you that this was the best headshave that I have ever gotten. My head was smooth as a blade shave has ever gotten. The best part was there wasnt any irritation. I rubbed some aftershave on my head afterwards and was good to go! I loved it!! But I feel guilty for using it, I feel like I am cheating on my blade, and not experiencing the true slyness. Am I wrong?? Because the electric feels sooo right!  :/O

Dude,,,, there are many ways to achieve Slyness. It's not important how you get there, just that you do! O0

Did you need to do any touch ups with your razor???

Exactly what I was going to say. Thanks for saving my the typing Tom.

Your blade may be waiting at home with a rolling pin though.

That's awesome to hear bro and also something I've been waiting to hear for a while.  Because I myself would love to find an electric that will do the deed as close as a razor.  But you are not exaggerating at all about it being as close as a razor?  Not saying that you are but just want to make sure before I go out and spend the money to give it a try.  Thanks bro.  O0

Great to hear Nick, would like to have an option to razor shaving when periods of irritation arise.  I am curious though as to how long the smooth feeling lasts.   Did you notice a faster return of stubble than with a razor?

No sir! Clean as a whistle! Just had to hit around the ears with a blade

Bro I was blown away at the ease and comfort of this shave. It was great. I am going to read alot of reviews on Amazon before I decide on spending the $$ on one too. Im not sure if I want to spend $200 for a Braun Pulsonic like my boy has. I want to see if I can get a similar one for cheaper.

Gunny Paul,

I did notice stuble returning faster than a blade shave though. I used it this morning at the gym, and around 1600 I was a lil prickly. But it wasnt that bad though. For me to not have the irritation that I get with a blade, I will live with premature stuble.  O0

That's cool, Nick! Thanks for the review. I wonder if these "face" shavers work better on people with thinner, lighter color hair? Versus darker, thicker or more coarse hair.

I have been shaving the dome for about six months now and have pretty much used the HeadBlade exclusively with great results.  When I first started shaving, I went out and bought a Panasonic Vortex electric and only used it a few times.  I brought it out again last nite...charged it up...used it this morning in the shower with a little Pacific Shaving Oil.  I must say that it was quicker and easier than using the HB and the results were better than "pretty good."  No cuts, no irritation.  Maybe I'll use this routine a few times a week and use the HB on the weekends when I can relax and have a bit more time.  Nick...I didn't feel guilty at all.  I had time for an xtra cup of coffee before leaving for work.  If it works Bro...go for it.
Regards,
Fester

Same here, if it works for you and keeps you smooth, then go for yours, bro!   O0

My shave goes so fast in the shower in the morning using the HeadBlade that so far, an electric hasn't done as well for me but... technology is getting better and better!  If I could afford one, I'd give the Braun Pulsonic a try!  O0

Sgt.  if technology keeps going we will be able to plug up some sort of contraption to the head of our beds and wake up in the morning with a freshly shaved head.  Man wouldnt that be nice....timer goes off....it goes to work on giving you a smooth dome and when finished an alarm goes off to wake you and to alert you of your freshly shaevd dome!....That would be the only time I would give up on my headblade sports...........gotta love the wheels man.  I have been looking for some new rims for the wheels....any one know of any replacements???

That would kind of like the RoboVac for the skull. Any engineers out there that can design something like this in the name of all the members of SBG.....we could all be rich! Retire as a group and move to Aruba or someplace warm.

I do in-between shaves with a Braun (model #5614) and Williams LecTric Shave. I feel no shame about it.
