This has all been a new experience for me. I just started shaving my head last week and was not happy with the closeness using a cartridge. After doing dome research I noticed a lot of people were using DE on their heads. I bought a Merkur 38 HD and a sample pack of blades and went to town. So far after 3 shaves, my head is smoother than my face ever was saving for a few nicks. I am having fun absorbing all the info that is out there and will see y'all around the forum.
