When I first started shaving my head I just used the same Gillette Sensor Excel razor I used for my face. My barber advised that I should get a good electric razor as a cut on the scalp is painful and bleeds a LOT. So, I dropped something like $80 on some Norelco Warp Factor Nine wet/dry model with built in shave gel "oozer". The directions for the razor recommended you give yourself three weeks in order for your skin and hair to become used to the electric razor and after that time the electric would be shaving as close as your bladed razor.
I waited three MONTHS and it still didn't come even close as my Sensor and it actually took longer to shave. Plus the electric really irritated my skin. Forget that. I went back to the Sensor.
Recently I happened upon a new type of razor, made just for shaving your head. It is called The HeadBlade and I have been using it for about a week. I am totally hooked on it and I wanted to let you other chrome domes know about it.
As you can see from the Master Chief's display, this is far from your traditional razor.
You actually wear the razor like a ring and you push the razor over your scalp with the same motion as rubbing your head with your hand.
My initial hesitation was that I didn't want to have to start buying another kind of blade refills, but the HeadBlade uses the same Gillette refills my traditional razor uses so I was ready to give it a shot.
While I was in the store I also picked up a bottle of their shaving cream called HeadSlick. I need some shaving cream anyhow so I thought what the heck.
They have an entire line of aftershaves and skin care items that you can get at just about any majore drug store or retail chain or you can cruise by their online store.
It took a little getting used to naturally because this is a new way to shave. But I followed the directions and by the third day I was zooming away. This is by far the easiest and fastest shave I have ever had. You apply no pressure to the blade so you have no nicks or cuts. The shave cream was excellent as well. It rinses clean but is not too thin so it allows you to go over the spots you missed without having to reapply shaving cream. It is plenty slippery as well.
I highly recommend it!
