Heck, at my age I don't even shave my face anymore let alone my head. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the beard although I let it grow during deer season. Those unguarded clippers are my face's best friend. I've been lucky enough to get to this point in my life with a reasonable head of hair so I'm hesitant to start shaving it for fear I'll never get it back if I want to.
I have had the discussion with the wife trying to prepare her for the inevitable day I start clipping the top of my head too. To say she's been unimpressed with the idea would be an understatement . . . wait, is that an incentive or what?
When I was bothering to shave (and when I still do for required occasions) that's my method to. Shaving the in shower once my face was warm and wet just made more sense. I don't need a mirror either, after 45 years of shaving I know where my face is.I shave my head and face twice a week. In the shower, no mirror, just feel. It took some time to get use to. I order Harrys razors and usally use the wife conditioner. I spoil myself with slapping on some Aloe after the shave. My adult boys dont remeber what i look like with hair, and laugh at old pictures.
Been using unguarded clippers for 20 years or so at this point. Face and head get a once over about every 5-7 days.
I started Bic'in my head at 19, back in '94. I'm biracial, and was sick of constantly having to go to get it cut to keep it 'tight'. Plus, wanted to be "like Mike". Never had a problem with ingrowns on my head... but my neck and jaw were awful with bumps with a razor.
Decided in my late 20s to grow out my fro for a few years. No sign of inability to regrow, thick as ever. Went back to a fade the rest of the decade.
Around about my late 30s, was starting to see some significant thinning and receding. Rocked the Fro-over (pretty sure I coined that term, lol!) for a while, then decided to just start clipping w/ #2 attachment. Through my 40s top has thinned out quite a bit. Now, I just use the clippers with no attachment about every 2 weeks. Wearing a full beard, these days, but if I do my face, it's with the same level as my head. No more ingrowns.
I'll never use a razor again.
So I guess I'm hearing that electric razors are better for preventing bumps than blades directly on the skin?
Hair type might have a lot to do with it. My hair doesn't come out straight... wants to curl as soon as it leaves the skin, sometimes before. Once I busted open a bump, and had a 3" hair curled up under the skin!So I guess I'm hearing that electric razors are better for preventing bumps than blades directly on the skin?
