Todd, a late welcome, but here it is. Good to have you with us, and glad to hear your a Headblade user, it's the best tool for the job. Just go easy like the bro's have said and you will get better and better. Soon it will feel very natural. Stick with it.

You're absolutely right. Where is the feedback. I am sorry but it has been a few months of odd times. Not bad, not great, but a little of both at the same time. Hard to explain I guess.
Anyway, So, I love full shaved against the grain. I am lazy though so I tend to shave every other day. Honestly I kinda like the second day look, but I cannot get that with a shaver so I end up getting both; shaved and second day. The wife digs the smooth dome.
Ok, now to all that I have learned, I have tried King Of Shaves and Headslick as well as a couple others although those have been the best for me. KOS wins only slightly. The only difference I feel is that I get a slight sting on the back of my head with Headslick. Also, I have tried four different types of blades and Atra Double blades are my favorite.
Lastly, cold water and pure Aloe Vera. After I shave, cold water on the dome is mandatory. I no longer have bumps at all because of this. Also, I tend to look a little flaky after drying so the Aloe Very makes it nice and shiny, keeps the bumps down and gets rid of the dry scalp.
Overall, I wanted to thank you all for the suggestions given on this site. Although I have not said much here, the suggestions given have been most helpful. -

So WELCOME to the SBG family, and sorry for being late.

Welcome Todd. Glad you found us. I go from the front to back(all the way to the bottom of the back of my neck) first. Then I go from back to the top, or crown, of my head. I do this because the hair on the back of my head seems to be thicker than on top or on the sides. So I go front to back first to cut it down some.

My only issue is that I use the Headblade Sport from front to back so I do not go against the grain on the back. That means I can feel stubble back there. I've gone against a few times back there but I am just nervous to do so (that'll probably change). Do you all go against in the back?
Anyway, I'm Todd and glad to be a member!
Welcome Todd!
Turn the HeadBlade around and go from bottom to top!
