Anyone here take a blade to the head?

I've been clipping the head for a long while now and recently decided to just start shaving it. Came across some awesome tips for first timers or guys that have been doing it for years.

1. Gillette Mach 3 is awesome and just the right amount of blades. To many blades causes to small of gaps making it harder to clean out or need to clean out a lot more often plus easier to nick. (So far I've tried 4 blade, 5 blade, head blade, electric and the bald guys on other forums were spot on with the Mach 3 being the best)
2. Shave at the end of the shower or after when the pores are open and head is clean reducing ingrown hairs and nicks
3. Warm up the blade don't use it cold reducing closing of poors and ingrown hairs and nicks
4. Use a moisturizing conditioner(not a 2-n-1) and not shaving cream. IF you do use a shaving cream do not use anything with menthol or cool gel as it will close up the poor and more of a chance for ingrown hairs and nicks. (I found this one on another forum and there was a long discussion on the origins of conditioners and how this makes sense)
5. Go with the grain at first until the head gets used to it
6. Do not put apply pressure causing nicks

I'm still looking for a good aftershave or moisturizer as I have pretty sensitive skin and really easy to break out due to fragrances.

I've done no guard buzzers.

[Jason2459]

I've done no guard buzzers.

That's what I've normally done. Usually once every few weeks. Now I'm doing a quick shave of the head and face every night or every other night when I take a shower. Done in well under 5 minutes.

[Jason2459]

Oh yeah, btw, nice jim LIME.

I went through a period where I was doing a 1 guard. But it's getting longish now. More trouble than its worth.

Nice, I'm going to get some Adipowers.

thanks man, i tried on the adipowers, and the fit was a little better and more refined than these, but they just weren't as stiff and stable feeling.

Those are a really nice shoe. Good job though picking the only other color out there more obnoxious then the AdiPowers.

i could have gotten the black, but where's the fun in that?

[samsont]

hrmmm theres a USPA meet coming up in march not too far of a drive (only other options are local usapl which I won't do, or drive 4 hours to goto apf meet in orlando). Might just register for the push/pull. But it's a 'state championship' meet. No idea how big it'll be.. most people seem to either compete usapl or apf in florida.

I got the white ones a few years ago and have never looked bad. The are in the same shape they were when I pulled them out of the box too.

Won't do USAPL cuz of JustLift peoples? All I'll say is at the March 24th USAPL meet, you will probably be able to meet Stig, ErickStevens, L The Pirate, and myself. So you should atleast come say hi and bring us sandwiches





zmcdole, dat you?

Shave your head, get a goatee beard, wear some chucks, westside t-shirt and transformation complete.

I have the black ones, I got them 2 years ago I think, and they look brand new.

I have chucks and a westside tshirt, but I can't grow a goatee and I'm not fat enough.

I swear by the Gillette 2-blade with the pivoting head (very important) and the lubra-strip. In the shower, wet the blade, take it slow, make sure it doesn't get clogged if your hair happens to be slightly "long". I don't use soap but soap does help to find the little longer patches you might have missed during round 1.

I went to an AAPF (I guess it's the tested version of APF) nationals in Florida, it was alright, nothing to spend so much money over again.

yeah brian schwab runs the apf in FL i believe. he wants me to come up for the meet but I cant swing the gas money / dont wanna drive 8 hours on a meet day... His meets also draw a huge crowd... I did some photography for the southern states meet couple years ago & it ****in' lasted from 10am to 11pm. needs to cap the number of lifters. Heard it happened in '12 as well.

Yea, I'm still not 100% on whether I'm going to compete. But I'm down to hang out and yell out Misc lingo while the other guys compete.
