I love my safety razor for the head shave. I always do my shave in the shower, and always strap it counter edge against a piece of denim. Rinse it sterile in alcohol and dry. The blades stay sharp, sterile, and last twice as long.

Tried shaving my head with a safety razor for the first time aaaaannd a few nicks here and there, although I didn't feel them at all. Never had such a smooth head shave before. Usually I use a cartridge and it just pulls the hair out, leaving it itchy and annoying. Not with the safety razor, it was smooth as butter. Sure I need to practice shaving my head with it, but it wasn't half bad for my first time.

If you haven't try Stirling Shave out. Fantastic stuff.

I do this too with my Feather blade razor. Very smooth and close. Didn't get any cuts thanks to practice too.

Made me nervous when he was hitting his ears with that razor. The exposed blade could really cut them up if you're not careful.

As a barber and someone who shaves his head i must say you are right on point. The best blade to use is a single blade safety razor.

Russell Bogrett as a 10+ year DE shaver, I just started shaving my head with them. Preparation and technique is key. After a few times, it gets easier and I experiment with different combos of shave creams/soaps and blades to get a comfortable and smooth shave.

Jay tutorials nice I use one everyday here in Barbados where much people don't

Back in the late 70s,I used a sharpened butter knife to shave my head. Ive had a knack for sharpening any kind of blade. I had no knicks or irritation. NOW,I bought a double edge safety razor yesterday,and I didnt know I had to be prepped for Hara Kiri. I had more knicks than the New York basketball team. Guess it will take better prepping.I only had beard balm to use as a prep.

Thank you! Just started shaving my scalp again around my Mohawk. This helps!!!

@@Rainaman- Reinis Miks Yep, used cartridges. My hair was slightly shorter than the gent in the video. Was using Weishi Nostalgic razor with the razor blade it came with. Blade wasnt really sharp (may have just been a blade from a bad batch?) that caused me to put too much pressure....bad mistake. Even with using a preshave cream/oil I still got cut pretty good. After getting blades from Shaving Revolution and practice little to no nick's. Eventually canceled my DSC subscription. Almost a year later I switched to Merkur Slant 39c and got a blade sampler pack. I'll get one or two cuts a month but not bad enough to use my styptic pens that's still in its package. Dont see myself going back to cartridges any time soon unless the current apocalypse leads us to a Mad Max type world. I really do enjoy wet shaving as it's almost therapeutic. This vid, Razor Emporium and kensurfs channel was a big help to correct my mistakes. Sorry for the long winded message but dont want you or anyone to do what I did wrong. Hope this helps, I believe in you!

Wow, this was a very unsafe loading of a DE aka Double Edge razor I have ever seen at beginning of video. First of all you should get into the habit whether loading or unloading the blade, holding it by the sides and never the the front where the blade sticks out. It's Such and easy way to get a nice deep slice requiring stitches. Always and I mean always, Hold the DE Razor by it's side of the cap. Like you mentioned after you loaded the blade. Besides that. Nice shaving video. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job Derek....shame to use brushless soap though....the shaving brush is the nicest part IMO.

@@Rainaman- you could always start using a cheap double edge razor like a Wilkinson sword. And there are mild one you can use. But I don't normally recommend cartridge razors. Also taking a warm shower will help open the poors and will give you a clean close shave. And also your skin will be prepared also pre shave oil is a Good option to use as well that will help you avoid cuts.

Hair is way too long to shave.. needs to trim it prior. You will def. Cut yourself with that length esp. Going against the grain.

The blades can be stopped to perfection again. They even used to sell machines for this, but I thing free hand will do fine. I won't bother anymore since they're so cheap when I buy NOS.

I tried today first time with safety razor God damn I got to many cuts

Transitioning from a cartridge razor to safety razor for the beard went pretty well, but first try on the head wasn't very successful, finished off with a cartridge razor. I guess I need a lot more practice on the head. No knicks though... also finding the right blade for you takes some tries. Had some very aggressive ones, some are more forgiving.

I don’t know you, just scrolling around looking for information on head shaving with a safety razor. I have frizzy hair, and whenever I shave it , I got razor bumps, on the back of my head. After trying a lot with cartridge blades, I stopped and just trim it with a trimmer. Is a safety razor, the solution for us, balding frizzy hair guys?!

Safety razors cost more up front but the blades have a long lifespan, are cheaper, and can be recycled

True. Depending on what soaps and razors you buy you can end up spending a lot more. And don't even get me started on the $140+ shave brushes.

I always get a bloody head when shaving. I use conditioner since can't really afford a shaving cream. I find it really hard to shave the back of the head and near the ears. It also takes me an hour in shaving my head. I must be doing something wrong.

Good shaving products don't have to be expensive. An Arko shaving soap stick will put you back less than $3 and will last anywhere from 6 months to a year. You can get a Yaqi synthetic shaving brush from $7 up on AliExpress and it will last a lifetime. Give them a try - you'll be amazed!

No, you can definitely cut your self. But maybe it depends on the product you use. I've ordered the ez-blade kit. I can't wait until it gets here.

I have shaved my head with safety razors (astra, derby, feather), gillette fusion, match 3, wilkinson xtreme 3 and I can tell you that these last two are the best for a headshave. Safety razors are ok with your face but you need a lot of time for your head and they are the most easy to cut with. So, for your head better use a multiblade.

So much incorrect information it hurts. Safety razor blades are way cheaper but they don't last anywhere close to as long as a normal razor head. Myself included and most guys in the DE community use blades once or twice MAX before you really start to notice them dull down. Now I haven't used a Gillette razor really ever but I know you get a lot more life out of them then that. Doesn't really matter tho when you can get 100 blades for under $30 shipped.

@ThaRedPitbull

Agreed. I shave my face and head with a razor once and then I put a new one in. I thought I would get more out of the blade but nope. Doing a 2 pass shave and having coarse hair dulls the blade down pretty fast.
