1st Partial Head shave with DE

[LewCrew6]

Last night I preparing to shave my head. I have been using a brush and cream to lather (T&H WIL yesterday). I made a larger batch of lather as my wife is not a fan of that fragrance and I wanted to practice. I was going to use my dreaded fusion when it dawned on me to try the DE since I had so much lather. My hair had grown out quite a bit so I thought it would be a very long time. To test I did half with the Fusion and half with the DE.

It took about the same amount of time! The fusion was continually clogging, but my SS was not. (I was taking shorter strokes with the DE but still) I even re lathered and did a second pass with the DE in the same time as the Fusion half.

I had a couple of cuts but after further review and confirmation with my wife, they were spots I always cut when shaving my head.

Plus the DE side was less irritated and was cut to the same level of closeness.

I was going to get a HeadBlade once I finished my Fusion cartridges. But after las night, why bother? I will use my DE! May even do it more often just because I like it and like my face, it is no longer a chore but an experience.

Just thought I would share!

I've been using my DE to head shave for awhile now. I like the results.

there is no shaving problem, that a DE, SE or straight cant fix.

DE head shaving is the way to go!

I do two passes face/head every morning. I work from home, so I take about 30 minutes, and I enjoy every minute. I've been DE shaving since 01/01. I have a rotation of soaps and creams (three soaps-TABAC, MWF, CADE) and four creams (Proraso, AOS Sandalwood, TOBS Mr Taylor and Body Shop- Maca Root). It's a great way to start the day. SMOOOOOOOTH!!!!

The fusion was continually clogging, but my SS was not.

That's another advantage I forget to mention. Since I sometimes let my head go for a week or more the DE can remove much more hair between rinses and is a lot easier to rinse out.
