I say it's actually easier to use the head blade for a sly beginner... The reason I say that is because if you use a regular blade, you'll learn how to use that blade... where the head Blade has it's own way of getting you smooth.

As for me, the first 2 years I shaved my head it was with the Sensor. I found the head blade when I was stationed at 29 stumps and used that for 2 years... then I became fuzzy for 3 years and am now back to the Headblade with Sensor 3 blades
