Go ahead and give the Headblade a try. Slow and steady is the key. Can feel a bit awkward at first, especially using your "off" hand...but after a few shaves...nothing to it. Used it for my first bald shave and haven't looked back. If you arent happy with the shave at first...feel free to try some alternate blades. (look up the Gambrinus Custom Plus 3 thread.....I swear by it!)
