I Am OVER My Panasonic Wet/Dry!! by k_floss on 16 Jun, 2008 17:17

When I first started using it a few months back, it seemed like the s*** --but now, it is no less akin to taking an electirc sander to your head, AND HAVING TO SHAVE AREAS OF YOUR HEAD RAW OVER AND OVER AGAIN --AND STILL, not getting close enough.
I've tried pretty much every shaving cream/gel out there --and, although some make the shaver move faster, I still have to go over areas repeatedly --WHICH, OF COURSE ,MAKES FOR PLENTY OF IRRITATION AND BLEEDING SPOTS.
And get this, I actually have to use ANOTHER SHAVER to shave the base of the back of my head --the Panasonic for some reason just won't even get this area AT ALL.
So now, I'm coming to you guys to see what I should look for in terms of just a regular razor --as this overwhelms me a bit --there being so many out there and all. -

Try a HeadBlade (http://www.headblade.com) It's what I use and I wouldn't trade it for any other razor on the market.

I had the same issue K_floss. I jumped from the Wet/Dry to the HeadBlade.

Headblade does the trick for most of my dome, though I do touch up a bit around the ears with my Schick Extreme3.
Good luck! -

Try the Gilette Fusion that way you will only have to use one razor for the whole job.

Thanks guys!! --ANYTHING!
My showers had gotten to the point where they've been taking anywhere from 30-40 minutes!! --by which time, my fingers are so water-logged I can't even hold the damn thing! -

I agree with Tom. You can't headblade your face. And I don't like the idea of having to deal with two razors.
Has anyone tried headblading their face?
Does TimmJ use a headblade....
Maybe.... 
Timmay you're gone only two days. I we miss his profound posts and life experiences already.

I'm standing firmly with my Panasonic Linear. I used it this morning and got a great shave. No irriatation, no cuts. I use an ample amount of Anthony Pre-Shave oil. I agree it can irritate if you have to shave the same area over and over. I just don't have my blade shave routine as refined as I hope to someday.

Rafter, I HB my face. I just flip the blade around and go to town. Head and face all done in a few minutes. -

My advice is Fusion, Manual or Power, in more than 8 months never a serious slice or nick, just four or five red spots that got a little out of control--I use 10% Benzoyl Peroxide get to calm that down, some Nivea shave balm and now for the summer a couple of shots of Banana Boat to keep the oily/sweat down and provide SPF protection. You won't regret the Fusion, and it doesn't require any technique to avoid cuts, etc. Get a good gel, Nivea has a new one out, or headslick. But the Headblade, for me and others, (1) doesn't give a close shave, and (2) requires skill. I believe in KISS, and FUSION. Keep It Simple Stupid.

Well, it would make sense to be able to use just one razor for the whole kit and caboodle.
Yeah, I dunno --I went and bought the HB last night (haven't used it yet), but the more I think about it, I'm not really that bowled over by their other products I've been using, so you may have a point, saint. -

Try it and let me know how you like it. If you have any probems I'll try to give you some pointers.

I actually just called the Gillette company (I've been known to do that sort of thing when I "research" stuff), and was told by the rep that most of the head-shavers who've called her actually prefer the Mach 3 for head shaving.
I just talked to a friend of mine who also shaves his head --he said that's actually what he uses.
Guess I'll just have to try all of them and see which one works best for moi.
I'll definitely keep you guys posted! -

Wow, they actually know their products! I prefer the Mach3 to the Fusion.
