BuyStraightRazors.co I saw all your videos I experienced thanks I became good Use the shavette "NTS-Solligen" long blade for the hair + shavette short blade "The Goodfellas'smile" stainless steel to shave I hope one day to buy the "Spartacus" razor
Thanks for this video, I just did my first head shave today with my straight razor and even though I nicked myself at first when trying to position the blade on the forehead, the rest of it went very well. I only shaved against the grain for the top and with the grain for everything else. I finished it off against the grain with a disposable but still fantastic shave. Thanks again as this helped me get certain angles just right.
Been shaving my head with a straight edge razor daily for well over 40 years. The razor is not a disposable one either. I also use it on my face. It's the only way to go.
Wow, that's impressive. I'm definitely way too lazy to shave my head every day. How many straight razors do you have? I feel like straight razors are a little bit safer than the feather razors. I can sort of sense when to back off before nicking myself, but with feather razors I've already nicked myself.
My hat is off to you sir. That definitely is a level that I have not reached. I can shave back that there without the mirror I just end up missing a bunch of spots.
I tried shaving my head with my straight today. I ended up George Costanza-ing myself, gave up and finished with a disposable. First time ive shaved my head.
I do this too, it's not as hard as it looks and after a while, you can do it by touch rather than using a mirror, but i always seem to whack the skin behind my ears. But I really like the length that it cuts my hair at, I find it easier to shave my head than my face with a straight and it is the most hardcore wayto shave your head, ever!
Zen Jon Maybe one of these days I'll get to the point where I can stop using a mirror. I also find shaving behind the ears to be pretty tricky. I like using it because it doesn't clog up with hair like all the cartridge razors do. I also like not having to use clippers to trim the hair down before hand. I think there might be one more way that is slightly more hardcore. I saw a video of a guy shaving with obsidian. I think that probably takes the cake when it comes to hardcore if someone ever shaved their head with it. Also, I heard that there are countries where people shave with just a DE blade, without the handle, that seems like a pretty rough way to shave as well.
BuyStraightRazors.co Ya...obsidian is more hardcore, the DE blade solo just sounds like an ambulance ride. When you shave next, try closing your eyes-as long as you are no where near your ears! It helped me to get a feel for the blade, I found that two reflections is too confusing for my optic nerves and leads to vertigo. Ya know, come to think of it, I think I have a chunk of flint in the fron yard....
Zen Jon The funny thing is I actually got used to looking in the two mirrors and maneuvering the razor that way. I'll definitely have to start try to close my eyes little by little.
I have two long movable mirrors left and right of the central ... I see 360 ° behind your head i see good + The difficult part on the left side is solved advice to have two mirrors on either side to you too .. Hello
James Black Yeah, that would solve a lot of the problems with seeing where I'm shaving. I would like to get to the point where I can just do it by feel.
Yes, I got luck on that one. If I had been shaving with my shavette I probably would have cut myself. I find the straight razor is a little bit more forgiving and I feel like I have a little more control with it.
It sucks but I always cut myself, I use the old school razors after using the clippers to get as much off as possible and it does the trick as well. THanks for the video.
I’ve done this a few times. Despite getting BBS on my face every time, I can’t get nearly as close on my head with a straight. ATG is nearly impossible with a straight head shave. DE is much more manageable. But a good disposable type like a Gillette is simply the easiest way to get BBS on the head. Nice job tho.
I definitely agree with you. Cartridge razors are definitely much more user friendly when shaving your head. I actually really like doing ATG on the back of my head, but it's definitely taken a lot of practice to be able to do it and it's not for the faint of heart. I have a crease un the back of my head that is hard to shave WTG. A lot of it just ends up being muscle memory you develop over time. The more you shave the more comfortable you become and willing to try different things.
No matter how hard I try I just can't shave my head with a straight. I know the razor is good and sharp, but it just won't go through my thick stubble without a lot of effort. But the face is always a nice shave.
hmmm, where are you trying to shave first? You might want to try going from the side of your head down. That's probably the flattest part of your head and will be the easiest part for you to get the angle right on it. Do you remember if you had the same problem when you were first starting out learning how to shave your face? I remember when I was first learning how to shave my face with a straight razor I had the experience where I found it hard to shave my chin and mustache area because the stubble was too thick. As I got more experience eventually I was able to do it, you might be experiencing something similar with your head. If you can shave your sideburns on your face with no problem you might want to just try to shave higher and higher with your side burns. Eventually you will be well above your ears and you'll be shaving that part of your head. Once you have that part down you'll be able to learn to shave the other parts of your head.
Codrin Vechiu Not that I've noticed. However, I'm not the best person to ask because I have a growing bald spot in the back of my head and a receding hairline.
This is one of the single most badass things I've ever seen. Straight shaving your own head...damn.
FallaciousScotsman It probably looks more impressive than what it actually is. With practice anyone could learn how to do it.
BuyStraightRazors.co I saw all your videos
I experienced thanks
I became good
Use the shavette "NTS-Solligen" long blade for the hair
+ shavette short blade "The Goodfellas'smile" stainless steel to shave
I hope one day to buy the "Spartacus" razor
James Black Yeah, the Spartacus razor looks pretty bad ass.
oh my !
old school videos 🌹😍
Throwback to the 2010s!
Such a satisfying sound....Almost trance inducing.
I can't believe this is free....
it makes my head hurt just watching this

Hi Andre,
Glad to hear the video helped you out with your shave. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.

Nice shave! Top Job 👌
+Leo Lunn Thank you.
Nice job.. Looks great on you.
Thank you
So very cool!!... Except for the crack.... on the mirror
I don't use mirrors at all. I use my fingers to to feel where I need to go. At the end I see the results and if I need to clean up some parts.
My hat is off to you sir. That definitely is a level that I have not reached. I can shave back that there without the mirror I just end up missing a bunch of spots.
Luis Donado With a straight razor??? That's impressive. I've been shaving my head for years with a cartridge razor and I still use a mirror.
nice shave
Thank you.
good job
Thank you.
When the straight picked up your skin on 10:31...pheeeww!
Nice video!
One thing I like about straight razors is that they're a little bit more forgiving.
That's jumbo coconut balls right there.
lol
I tried shaving my head with my straight today. I ended up George Costanza-ing myself, gave up and finished with a disposable. First time ive shaved my head.
Enough practice you’ll be doing it with your eyes closed.
Thank you. Although I don't think is quite perfect.
By using a very light and careful touch. :)
I do this too, it's not as hard as it looks and after a while, you can do it by touch rather than using a mirror, but i always seem to whack the skin behind my ears.

advice to have two mirrors on either side to you too ..
Hello
James Black Yeah, that would solve a lot of the problems with seeing where I'm shaving. I would like to get to the point where I can just do it by feel.
i have a straight razor and i can do this with a shavette but i cant get my sr sharp enough. any tips
Maybe pay someone else to hone it? This will help you determine if it's your technique or if the blade was dull or not honed properly.
Yes, I got luck on that one. If I had been shaving with my shavette I probably would have cut myself. I find the straight razor is a little bit more forgiving and I feel like I have a little more control with it.
How long does the blade last?
The blade itself can last as long as your alive, provided you don't damage it. You do have to hone them or pay someone else to hone them periodically.
It sucks but I always cut myself, I use the old school razors after using the clippers to get as much off as possible and it does the trick as well. THanks for the video.
***** Do you think you are going too fast? Usually, when I nick myself I'm trying to rush and get a little careless.

It's either that or I'm crazy... ;) It's like shaving your face once you get enough experience.
which razor is that, sir?
I picked up at an antique shop and paid someone to clean it up for me. It has "Genco Head Barber" stamped on it.
does it grow thicker ?
Codrin Vechiu Not that I've noticed. However, I'm not the best person to ask because I have a growing bald spot in the back of my head and a receding hairline.
Shaving does not actually cause hair to grow in thicker. It may appear so, but the ends of the hair become blunted and seem to thicken.
solved this problem,its called micropigmentation look it up
How does this not turn into Reservoir Dogs at 11:30?
Because I like my ears attached to my head.
F*** me, you're brave.
hey its jonny sins
Lol
Added to the list of people I've been compared to...lol.
