I have been using a safety razor for shaving my face for a few years, now I just have a beard and don't shave anymore apart from shaping the beard.
But I do have to shave my head and I just can't figure out how to use a safety razor or straight razor for that. I keep cutting myself. The margins seems to be quite narrow and boy does your head bleed if you cut it...so I am stuck with cartridge razors which actually works really well. Just means spending more money and dealing with clogging.
- nelaboras 6y agoI am using a safety razor for my head. Once every 2-3 shaves I cut myself (usually on my non-handed side) but otherwise no issues. The cut usually heals by the time I'm done and I have rather thin/sensitive skin. Derby or Feather blades and a cheap €15 handle. I try to shave once with the grain, once sideways. The blade is held at quite am angle but with very little pressure.
- this_is_not_you 6y agoThanks! Did that work for you from the beginning or was the learning curve bloody? I still have many Derby blades and the safety razor from my non-beared times. Might give it another shot.
