When you first start shaving your head, either by choice, or in my case, necessity ( damned male pattern baldness) it is torture. You're grey, ashy, and worse, you cut yourself constantly. And, as anyone who's ever seen a head hit a windshield can tell you, when you cut your head it bleeds like crazy. More times than I care to remember, I've reenacted the shower scene from the movie Psycho with the red water circling the drain.
So, after years of using the same razor without many "accidents" I was apprehensive, to say the least, when Santa put the Gillette Fusion Power in my stocking this year. The only thing scarier than a new razor was a new razor that vibrates through battery power. Can anyone say, many cuts?
But, it looked cool, and although I thought the vibrating deal was just a gimmick to get you to use more Duracell batteries(a sister company of Gillette), curiosity got the better of me and I tried it.
Well, I can report now after a month of use, that it is the best razor I've used so far. The AAA battery still runs strong after a month of daily use, and although Gillette wants you to change the blade weekly, I've used the same one blade that came in the original package for a month and I'm still getting the closest shaves in my history with a razor. I've only had one nick on my head and that was totally my fault. I just got stupid.
The vibrating deal really does make it work better and I don't have to shave over areas of my head in 3 different directions to get close anymore. Usually one pass will do.
Give it up for Gillette. They've put a tutorial on how to shave your head and body. I'll include the head shaving demo below, but they've got "other areas" covered as well.
Give it a try and let shoot me your feedback.
and for those of you that are curious, here's another video that Gillette put together that is freakin hilarious.
