at other times I use my Panny "lima alpha-63" it's a fine machine.  O0

Thank you for the welcome, Red. I saw your posts about your pleasure with your Panny, was it a couple years ago? At that time I was using an "Echo Sierra 8243" and lovin' it. Before that I had a Panasonic Linear. I know that you don't need a Panny pitch, but if'n you're wantin' to upgrade, the "LA-63" is the catz ass!  O0

Thank you  :D 8)

Someone yesterday alluded to the fact that perhaps I pay too many compliments to people, but unfortunately thats the way I am. If I see something or someone that deserves a compliment, I like to pay the compliment, because I tend to think it makes the world a nicer place, plus we all need an ego boost from time to time, as long as the boost is a genuine one

So, here's one back for you. I said on a thread a couple of days ago that I find the 'shaved head / full beard' look a little weird, which I usually do because I dont think too many men can carry it off. But I think it suits you, and I think part of that is because from what I see in your picture, your beard is very nicely groomed. Another part of it is that you have a nicely shaped head  :*))

Its not a look I'd get away with, unfortunately. I have had a full beard many times, but only with a full head of hair too, so now I just stick with my rather bushy goatee.

Thank You.  Right now, I still need the ego boost because I'm only 3 weeks into this look as of tomorrow.  I had my beard permanently fixed so I wouldn't have to shape it it everyday.  I alternate between the beard, goatee, and nothing because I didn't like having to shave every day (and now I'm shaving my head every day ???).  With the bald head, I don't think I'll be going bare faced anymore.  I'm going to wait a while and then see what I look like with the goatee and then with nothing.  Luckily, I only need about 3 days to get the full beard back.

I didn't want to shave my head without the beard because a guy I used to work with shaved his head and didn't have a beard and he looked like an alien to me but he had a weird head shape.  And, I never saw what he ever looked like with hair.

When I try the HB, I really hope it works for me because I would like this daily routine to be a little easier.  But I'm not holding much hope because so far, I like my edge gel better than the Head Slick so I'm thinking I'll like the Gillette better than the HB.

I had the same experience with the head blade as the OP did. I actually took off a patch of skin. It was about a 1/4 inch of skin and took weeks to heal up. The head slick is a great shaving cream.
