It's one of those things where the first time seems a bit intimidating (in terms of the reactions of others), but after that it seems it would quickly become the norm.
How often did you have to shave your head to keep it bald? I'm using a single bladed double-edged razor ala 1970 on my face, and it would be nice to be able use it on my head as well. Is that feasible, or do you need one of the six bladed monsters they're selling lately to avoid nicks and cuts?
This thread has made me intrigued to the point where I may try it in the near future. The nice thing about hair is that it grows back and this results in a nice opportunity to try new things out every few months. |
I like every other day. Everyday seems to irritate my scalp, although people will be different. And two days between shaving doesn't really leave room for any hair to grow; you can feel it, but you can't really see it.
For the first shave do it on the weekend. Your scalp will be red and blotchy for a couple of days, but will clear up quickly as air gets to your scalp. If you shave on Friday night or Saturday morning, by Monday morning your scalp will be well on the road to being adjusted.
I would use a razor with at least two blades, preferably three. That depends on how thick your hair is though. Thinner hair is obviously easier to shave than thicker.
