Head Shavers..what's your set up?

Just wondering guys..

I am not a daily head shaver..but I do clean shave with a razor three or for times a year, and if not fully shaven, my hair is very closely cropped as a faded buzz cut or a zero all over.

I use a DE and have used carts once or twice in the past..

So what's your setup for head shaves folks?

Nothing special, whatever I'm using on my face. I shave mine daily, face and head at the same time, lately I've been favouring my Timeless OC. To be honest, I've been favouring that since I bought it.

Thrice a week for me (give or take a day or two). When I can light a match on my head, I know it's time to head shave... :cool:

I use proper shaving soap and brush application alright, albeit with either a Gillette Mach 3, Gillette Fusion or Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 for expediency.

I'll have to try the Timeless OC on my head and see how that works.!

Nice Martin! Do you find Cartridges work better for you than a DE? Just curious?

For head shaving, I just prefer the speed of using a cartridge, whereas, on the face I'm a DE / SE man!

@Shaverrific666 - the other great thing about using cartridges for the head is that, even when they would otherwise be spent - as far as using on the face is concerned - with a rub on a razor pit (or similar), they become sufficiently re-energised to comfortably use on the head. I can easily get 2-3 months out of a cartridge on the head using this method.

Thanks for the info, Martin!:thumbsup:

When I first started shaving my head I used whatever DE or SE I was using on my face. Now I tend to use either an injector razor or a Mach 3 cartridge. I found that I was cutting my head when I used a DE in my left hand.

I shave my head once a day.

I like to use OneBlade to, if the growth is not over 2 days, it is realy easy to shave with, but it is not as efficient as the blackbird:okay:

Good advice. I have been using the rough side of a strop. First I put the cartridge under warm water and if there is any gunk on the blades I remove it with a tooth brush under warm water. I then strop going the opposite direction from a shave.
