Shaving my head is just becoming a real pain in the butt basically. It's really frustrating.... but when I look at pictures of myself with hair, even short hair...the receding just looks horrible and I can't imagine going out like that. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with the extra  time it takes...

It's just annoying and I feel like I'm doing it so awkwardly when I shave, especially in the shower...I miss spots constantly and seem to have to go over everything (especially the top) 2-3 times which takes even MORE time.

I've now switched from the HB to a Fusion Proglide and I do find I get a cleaner, smoother shave... but I still don't feel like I'm really doing it 100% right.

Hang in there bud....I've been shaving my head for four years and I'm still looking for ways to improve....Remember, it's gonna take some time to get what you're looking for. To bring up an old phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day!" Good Luck and keep practicing/experimenting, there's something out there that will give you what you want!

Don't worry.. your doing it right.. or at least, you have to find what works best for you and forget about the rest. Thing is we all have spots where we still feel hair and as annoying as this can be, it's perfectly normal. We all have to go over the same spot sometimes. The human head just isn't as smooth as a balloon that would allow us a perfect shave every time. As long as you know it's as good as you can get it, then learn to be happy with that. Chances are no one will know but you. I can feel fuzz on my head now and wont shave again till morning, but if you look at me now, you can't see it unless your real close up. No one will know.. trust me.

Well I m probably bad sly   guy   , But  can get away with a gillete fusion for a month 

Wow, how do you get an entire month out of a razor? I also use Gillette Fusion and they last me a maximum of 2 weeks (I shave every other day).

BTW, I don't like to use the Gillette Fusion ProGlide. The ProGlide system seems to 'slip' over my head, I like to have a bit more control.


Thanks for comments about the pro glide , it might wind me upasmuch as the HB . Seriously ifyour side of the pond see,s a market for BBC sly guys products are gonna follow beyond. HB , correct me if I am wrong but if the US see a viable market for a product which would make guys permanentl bald , The R &D of some drug companys or allied medical companys will make a killing , but its a lot of moneywhilst there is worldwide recession .

Oh yes , it seems to last well , re-iterate no business or other links with gillette , i m jus a RN part time with a private income

I have my routine down to 25 mins .... I am a sink shaver and I always shower first. The 25 includes the shower and cleanup.

I also am not 100% satisfied with the smoothness yet but it's getting better everyday....

Hang in there!

So today was a bit of a rush with a dry shave at the sink with the proglide... definitely not as smooth as when I do it in the shower or at least after the shower and it took a good 20-25 minutes. It still feels a bit awkward with using the proglide, seemed a bit smoother passes with the HB but perhaps I should give the HB a chance with different blades like the atra plus?

I just want to find a good method that I can do daily that ensures I'll get a nice, clean shave...even if it takes a LITTLE bit longer, maybe 30 minutes tops for shower, shave and clean-up... I could live with that. Any more suggestions?
