Hey guys, been a while since I've been on, but trying to understand an issue I'm having. I've been using my 1952 Gillette fat boy for a decade or so now with feather blades. The Gillette currently needs rebuilt as it is getting a hangup in the twister that I need to figure out, so I bought a cheap drug store de razor that holds de blades and kept on my merry way until I can fix the fatboy(been a year or two like this)
Shaving my neck and face works great, but since I have started rocking a mowhawk again and shaving my head has become part of routine.
I can use the cheapest of throw away cartridge razors to shave my head... even aggressively at times when rushed... but every time I try using the de razors I end up cleaving my scalp to hell. What is it about the cartridge razors that is different, and how can I get back to running a single razor again?
1)Fix the fat boy and go with a less aggressive pitch? I normally run 3 to 5 for neck and cheeks.
2) get a new modern version of an adjustable de razor?
3) give up and buy a pit bull head shaver and or stick with throwaways for the head?
