Head shave

Post by kennethj »

Anybody here to a head shave yourself ? One question I have is how to do the back of the head. Use a mirror ?

I've not shaved my head, but I have often asked myself the same question. Now maybe I'll learn something. Thx for asking.

For the short time that I shaved my head I did it by feel also. Have no fear, it's not as difficult as you think.

The first time I gave myself a buzz cut then used a SE Featherweight to consummate the deal. Bad choice. The razor kept clogging and I was blaming the blades; wrong! Today I would use a ClogPruf or some such razor and know that it will clog. After that first shave I swapped to an OCMM and that helped a great deal with staying shaved. If I didn't need a buffer of hair to keep my eyeglasses from reacting with my skin I'd still be shaving my head.
