Do you shave your head...

[nofearfactor]

...or use an electric razor to crop it close?

I can grow hair and did grow it to near my waist from about age 10 to my mid 30s. Im 41 now and have kept it short going on about 5 years. I hate my hair because its that straight as a string kind of hair. I just tired of it one day and I guess I felt crazy because I not only cut it all off but I shaved it. And I liked it and I still like it. Since then Ive kept it close cropped or shaved. A friend of a friend in California invented the 'HeadBlade' brand of head shaving razors and he keeps me stocked with up those as well the lotions and lubricants that they also sell. I usually just prefer to run over my head with my electric razor to keep it close cropped about once or twice a week,and then I totally shave it completely using my HeadBlade razor and gel about once or twice a month.

Those that shave their heads, what do you use to shave your head with, and how do you maintain it? Those that use electric razors, how do you shave yours and maintain your look?

I used to just buzz it with electric cutters. Lately I've been shaving it bald with a razor every 1-2 weeks. I hate having hair on my head. If I could get laser hair removal on my head I would.

Shave it 2-3x weekly here.

I use the one with 3 blades, whatever it is... no need for a Quattro or that stupid 5-bladed one, etc.

My biggest trick is women's shave gel. Slicker than snot and the BEST way to prevent razorburn. also shaving with COLD water also helps a TON, but you don't get near as close a shave.

I use an Oster electric trimmer. I keep my hair at 1/8".

I use an electric trimmer once a week with #2 guard on it. I also hate my hair but a shave is even worse as I have plenty of lumps in my head.

I use to hit my head with a BIC razor twice a week for a short time. Boy was I a hit when I went to Ft Benning, GA for jump school LOL. Then I realized I have a goofy shaped head and decided to grow it back to the good ol high and tight.

Now that I'm out of the Corps I still like to keep it short.

+1 on this, at least during the summers.

During the winter I actually get haircuts, #2 on the sides/back and trimmed around finger-length on the top. Though sometimes the Asian or teen girls get it really short with their skinny little fingers.

I shave my head every morning in the shower with one of those 3-bladed razors. Quick and easy. I go through a lot of shaving gel but it beats going to get hair cuts every 2 weeks.
