After many years of slowly losing my hair, and cropping it ever shorter to compensate, I finally took the plunge at Xmas and went for the full head shave. It takes a bit of getting used to, as if you're learning to shave again, until you get used to the contours of your head and the direction your hair grows. Us guys are notoriously bad at asking each other about this kind of stuff, so although I knew a few people who shaved their heads, I never got around to asking them about technique, razors to use, moisturizers, and so on.

Luckily a little online research has opened up a new world on this subject, most notably the discovery of the Headblade S4, pretty much the ultimate headshaving machine. Sorry, headBLADING machine. I have to order one of these babies - apparently, you PUSH it across your skin rather than pull or drag it.
