Headshaving With a Razor vs Clippers

This weekend I made the move from a shaved head via clippers to a shaved head via razor.  I made the move for one main reason, ease of maintenance.  It’s far easier to shave my head with a razor in the shower than a multi-step clipper ritual approach. 

Previously I was shaving my head with clippers about once a week.  This required clipping, sweeping, showering, and clean up.  The whole process took about 15-20 minutes.

While this worked well, and was relatively easy, I didn’t really like getting hair all over the place or the aforementioned clean up process.  Thus, as a general rule, I would often put off this grooming task because it was a pain in the ass.  Enter the razor.

I started this weekend by using a HeadBlade razor for head shaving.  While more exposure is required for a proper review, after my first use, I am thoroughly impressed.  It took maybe an extra 5 minutes in the shower and a few minutes after for missed spots.

Best of all, no sweeping.

    Didn’t you recently have it done at a salon? How does that experience compare?

    You know, if you don’t want shaving and cleaning up afterwards to be a pain in your ass anymore, you could just let your hair grow back out again. Something I’ve never seen in person, just pictures. Eh?
