You look great man, you still have time to do the 30 day rule before January. Give it a crack for the full 30, not just "a couple of days" and you'll realise it isn't really that big of a deal. Heck if your prospective employer is willing to let a guy walk around with a donut, you should be fine sly!

Pretty good Statement !
It's definitely a great experience and I think every man should shave his head even once in his life. Liberating, that's for sure.
And sly works for you and you seem to like it ! -

Looks really good on you.
And I agree with Beardman ... you should give it the full 30-day challenge to truly experience it. -

Thanks a lot, everyone, this has to be the kindest forum I've ever visited!
Third shave, minimal redness, but I can't get it completely smooth - I never knew that getting a pique polo shirt over my head could become a problem.

Nice man, are you shaving with or against the grain? because to get the closest shave you will want to go against the grain. But it sounds like you will want to let your head condition a bit first before you do that or otherwise you will just make your irritation worse.

I shaved with and against the grain right off the bat, but there still minimal stubble. I tried a Wilkinson Protector and two different safety razors, no difference. Said razors all produce completely smooth skin when used on my beard - maybe a special razor like the Headblade will help?

You look great shaved smooth Stan K. It is definitely a keeper. How about using the picture as your avatar?

As others have suggested, give it the full 3p0 days. The shave will get smoother.
Yes, the poll shirts can be like Velcro on stubble head.
Experience, fresh blades and some patience will help with the smoothness.
You look sharp.Welcome -

I'm a huge fan of the HeadBlade and am quite satisfied with the result. To me, it seems Baby Butt Smooth but the feeling doesn't last more than a few hours because of hair growth. Just something to live with. -

I have been shaving for years and have tried most shavers including HeadBlade - -and I have found Shick Xtreme3 to be the ABSOLUTE BEST - -It is worth a try - -I told my brother to try the Xtreme3 and he too thinks it is the BEST - - - - I get a very sensative shave and it lasts longer than any other blade that I have used. - - -What you see (in my photo) is what you get - - -the shine is great and I really like that.

I'm a fan of HeadBlade Sport. I get a super smooth shave with no irritation.

I'll give the Headblade a try, but mangosink12572's shiny head makes me want to buy the xtreme3 asap.

I think the shine depends more on the post shave products than on the razor itself. Here are 2 photos of me, both are in the morning a little while after shaving that morning with the HB Sport and then using either HeadLube Matte or HeadLube Glossy.
I usually use the Matte. I find the Glossy leaves a good shine, but also that a shine seems to enhance the shadow effect.
