Head shaving - mildest but most efficient DE razor?

[YanikM]

Hi all.

I shave my head every two days and rotate between:

• Henson Tii aggressive (+++) - Feather yellow blades / Personna Med Prep blades

• Rex Ambassador (Subie Shaves hack using Schick yellow injector blades to reduce exposure)

• Proof DE - Derby Professional SE blades

• Bic Flex 5 Hybrid cartridge for final pass.

My issue is I need a razor with minimal blade exposure but can’t find any that fit the bill.

I’ve tried Dura Sharp blades as they’re allegedly the narrowest on the market but still have too much exposure.

I would really welcome some recommendations from the experts!

Thanks!

Have you thought about trying a milder razor, something like a DE89, a Merkur 20c/23C, or a King C Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor (which you can pick up for less than £15); the DE89 works well enough as a head shaver. My old go to head razor was an Above The Tie R1, but it's been superseded by an Alpha Oultaw, but it still see's some use.

Drop us DM, I think we're local to each other, if you fancy trying something different, I'm sure we can arrange something.

The best razor for head shaving that I've tried is the Henson AL13 Mild (+). Have no trouble going through two days of growth and I get no irritation or razor burn even with my sensitive skin. I see that you own the aggressive Henson. Attached some pictures for comparison.
