First Time With a Blade - page 1 -

• First Time With a Blade by jimbo48 on 16 Feb, 2012 20:25
• For the past 14 months I have been shaving my head with an electric razor.  Tonight, I tried using a blade for the first time.  What a difference.  My head is as smooth as a baby's behind.  It shines more too.

• Now you will be more addicted, the super smooth feeling is like nothing else in the world. I noticed when I don't shave for a few days I still have shine, just not as good as when I am smooth. Enjoy it!

• yup Jimbo you can say that again . I really like our heads emitting natural oil and eventually causes our heads to shine like bulbs.

• I've never used an electric razor since high school, but as best as I remember, the blades always do a closer shave.
  
  And for shaving the head, I don't even think that I want to try the electric. The blade is so smooth. I love the feel of the first few hours of especially slick shine and smoothness. Excellent.

• It has been decades since I used an electric shaver for facial hair and never have for head.  I do like the smooth feel.

• I've used an electric shaver and then followed up with a blade to get as smooth as possible.  Takes a little longer, but there's never any razor burn.  Since the electric does the lion's share of the work, the blade just catches the fine stubble. 
  
  Once you've experienced a smooth, slick dome, it's almost impossible to go any other way!

  It shines so much you can't even see your dome in the photo.
  
  Looks great
  
  I can't believe you never used a balde on the dome.

• Thanks for all the responses.  You guys are right - there is nothing like the smooth feel of a blade shave.  I could not stop rubbing the slick dome.  Looks like you have a blade convert here.  The blade was used again tonight.  Goodbye Conair CleanHead.

• I never shaved with anything but a blade but I have to admit the very first time I shaved my head I fell in love with it. I just could not stop touching my head and marveling at the wonderful smooth feel. I am kind of obsessive compulsive now about trying to get the absolute closest shave possible. I wish I could keep that just shaved feel 24 x7.

• I know the feeling...the first time I shaved with a Fusion was a very different experience from the Atra or electric.

• Jimbo, congrats on making the move over to the slick side!  Electrics have their place, be it convenience, fear of the Van Gogh look  or a gradual transition to the blade.  But once you go metal on knoggin', it's tough to go back to anything else!
