@@terrellking4174Short id say, in general with shaving, razors get clogged easy and should be rinsed often for maximum efficiency. Pay attention if hair is clogged in the blade gaps.
Don't see many people using tabac. My grandpa used to use all of their products. Brings back some memories. Thanks for the video my guy. Greetings from Germany 🤙
My Rockwell 6C and Rockwell blades are mainly what I shave my head with. I do three passes, one with the grain, one across, one against. I switch plates each pass and go 5 3 2. Excellent results every time. The key for me switch into a de blade is the section off the head, it makes it so much easier. Great video, first time viewer. Looking forward to seeing more. Take care my friend 💈🇨🇦
Hey, thanks for stopping by my guy! 🙌🏻 Agreed the Rockwell for the head is great and it sounds like you have your system down pat! I am mainly enjoying the Leaf as it is much faster and easier to use but from time to time I’ll do my head with a DE. I always do around the ears with a DE no matter what. You know I don’t think I’ve tried the Rockwell blades yet, I’ll have to pull them out and give ‘em a go. Have a great day bud! 🤙🏻
@@terrellking4174 It’s intuitive after you build the muscle memory. But if you’re just starting off what you do is you roll into it. So start at a safe angle higher up on the top cap of the razor, then slowly roll down as your using a down stroke. Very light pressure at first. You will feel it catch the hair. But it really only takes 5-10 shaves with a razor before getting to automatically know how it works I’d say. Once you get good it’s easy.
Good video I have been shaving my head for 30+ years but always used a cartridge razor or electric but wanted to go back to using a DE Razor for trimming around my beard and thought hmm wonder if I can use it on my head. And your video helped a bunch thanks brother!
You’ll save a fortune. I have been shaving my face and head with a DE for 20 years. Cost me about $5/year to shave, and I’m not filling up landfills with plastic disposables.
I’m so glad it helped! 👊🏻 Thank you for the comment. I will do this anywhere from 1-3 times a week. If I’m lazy I’ll just do it once a week on Sundays lol. But I know guys who don’t mind shaving everyday like this. It won’t hurt anything. I use to do it every day myself. Just depends on your level of hair growth and if you want a completely clean smooth head or if you don’t mind a little fuzzy.
Barbasol can be good but as for "not slick enough", the foam really needs more water which can be added to the lather on the face or into the brush and brought to the face; then Barbasol works better.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy How much Barbasol and how much water? Barbasol with additional water can work very well. I tried this a couple of times to be sure and familiar.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy When you have an old can of Barbasol sitting around going unused, you think about it, unless you choose to simply discard it. Or choose to use it for something else.
I used a safety razor for the first time yesterday and cut myself 3 times, but i also built my first lather which i think was WAYYYY too dry. Next time i'll use a little more water in the puck and re-apply lather so it doesn't dry in!
Congratulations! Ya the water level can very pretty dramatically from thin to thick. I like it in-between myself. Until you see a glossy looking sheen in the lather. Just add a little bit at a time.
Thank you! It’s completely up to you really, depending on job and how professional you need to look, but I recommend maybe two or three times a week. When I’m lazy I do once a week on The weekend, but ideally 2-3. Like Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Possibly Sundays. Or maybe Sunday and Wednesday kinda thing.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy What's your shaving frequency with against the grain? I shave daily for two years now. I do with, across, and against the grain. My main issue now is the little scars I got compounded from nicks, cuts, and scrapes. I'm starting to get frustrated, as I'm not yet sure if there's a chance to completely get rid of it.
I’ve heard the defender is a great head shaver! But I’m good with blades of all sorts and sizes doesn’t matter what it is so it comes natural to me. But it’s easier then you think. Well at least if you have a steady hand it is.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy cool brother, maybe in the future..👍The defender is good for a headshave but it dont last sharp as much as gillette razors, atleast not for me.
For most of these razors that is true but there are a few newer models that have a angle range(harsh to mild depending on the tilt) and arnt intuitive like most of them. But generally you are correct for this style.
Nuh a leaf. Either the leaf, or leaf thorn. More efficient. Plus uses same blades. Atm I shave my head with disposables more or less everyday. Takes me like 3mins. I don't understand blokes who shave maybe once a week.
Different strokes for different folks! I use the leaf 98% of the time. And shaving I’m just lazy these days. I go in and out of how often I like to shave.
The Rockwell 6s and 6c are the only razors I trust to head shave with. It is an amazing shaver all around, TABAC is one of my favorites as well.
Amen man
I agree but I also ding the merkur progress on setting 3 to work almost as good as the 6S & 6C
A Merkur Progress on 4 is a perfect head shave. Or my Fatboy or Slim starting on a 9 work well also.
This is really one of the best head shaving lessons I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you so much. Will use it once my Rockwell 2C arrives!😊
Thank you so much I really appreciate your comment! 🙏🏻 Thank you for watching, good luck, and happy shaves! 🤙🏻
@@KnifeCrazzzzy good shave quick question when shaving head with DE is long or short strokes better
@@terrellking4174Short id say, in general with shaving, razors get clogged easy and should be rinsed often for maximum efficiency. Pay attention if hair is clogged in the blade gaps.
Hey mate. One of the best head shave tutorials I’ve seen.
You should make more head shaving videos.
Cheers
Much appreciated! 🤙🏻
Thanks for this informative video. I've wanted to go to the de razor for awhile, now I feel fully prepared.
Thank you 🙏🏻 and your welcome!
If you have any questions I am glad to help.
the best thing ive seen in my life
i trust you with my life bro
Wow that’s big, I appreciate the sentiment. 🙏🏻

@@KnifeCrazzzzy thanks for the response is plate 5 on the Rockwell aggressive would you use it on a days growth
@@terrellking4174 it’s efficient. I wouldn’t necessarily say aggressive. I would say plate number five is most people‘s favorite and you’re welcome!
@@KnifeCrazzzzy learning a lot from your videos how do u keep the angle using shorter strokes thanks for the advice

Best head shave video I’ve seen. Do you ever shave fully against the grain on the sides or should you always shave across the grain?
Ya I do sometimes.
This was about giving people understanding and structure, but once you get the idea you can do whatever works best with your hair!
And thank you 🙏🏻
Have ya ever tried the leaf razor? Cuz im debating wich to get the DE like the one you got in this video or the leaf razor
Haha good thing you ask, I use the leaf 99% of the time. I’d definitely recommend the leaf over a DE for the head for efficiency and quickness.
This was super helpful; thanks! 👍
Your welcome, thank you for watching, and glad I could help!
As a newbie this video helped a lot! How often do you shave like that? Daily or every 2-3 days?
I’m so glad it helped! 👊🏻

In my experience adding water to Barbasol just thins it out and deflates it.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy How much Barbasol and how much water? Barbasol with additional water can work very well. I tried this a couple of times to be sure and familiar.
@@10floz30minutes I’m sure I could figure it out easy. I just have a few dozen options better so I generally don’t even think about it.

Perfect !
Thank you! 🙏🏻

Some people do not need to stretch skin but maybe pull to flatten.
Sure

@@KnifeCrazzzzyhow about shaving against the grain everyday?
@@DongDonos Ya totally if your skin doesn’t have any issues.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy What's your shaving frequency with against the grain? I shave daily for two years now. I do with, across, and against the grain. My main issue now is the little scars I got compounded from nicks, cuts, and scrapes. I'm starting to get frustrated, as I'm not yet sure if there's a chance to completely get rid of it.
I shave my head every-other-day.
Bro, Ive been DE shaving for like 7 years and I still dont trust my self to do a DE headshave. I do it with my defender or Mach 3
I’ve heard the defender is a great head shaver! But I’m good with blades of all sorts and sizes doesn’t matter what it is so it comes natural to me. But it’s easier then you think. Well at least if you have a steady hand it is.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy cool brother, maybe in the future..👍The defender is good for a headshave but it dont last sharp as much as gillette razors, atleast not for me.
OMG!!! THIS VIDEO DESERVES A 1 MILLION LIKES FROM BALD GUYS WHO SHAVE ALL OVER THE WORLD 🌎 AWESOME SIR
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
Plus the angle for the blade is predetermined by the design of the razor head, so you don’t have to find it.
For most of these razors that is true but there are a few newer models that have a angle range(harsh to mild depending on the tilt) and arnt intuitive like most of them.
But generally you are correct for this style.
Once you use a Twig Thorn safety Razor no other razor will do
I don’t have the twig but I do have the leaf and it’s all I use in my head since I got it!
@Le Xizildsss just do it as soft you can across your face no need for any pressure
Stick to a mild razor to do a head shave. Pair it with a sharp blade to bump up the efficiency and you’ll be just fine
Nuh a leaf. Either the leaf, or leaf thorn. More efficient. Plus uses same blades.
Atm I shave my head with disposables more or less everyday. Takes me like 3mins.
I don't understand blokes who shave maybe once a week.
Different strokes for different folks! I use the leaf 98% of the time. And shaving I’m just lazy these days. I go in and out of how often I like to shave.
@@KnifeCrazzzzy Fair enough mate. Just don't see the point of a DE if someone has a leaf. Im still stuck using disposables flip sake ha.
@@KrisVic91 As they say, Variety is the spice of life!
I'll be honest; I love DE razors, but they're not my ideal choice for head shaves.
To each his own, I’ve found a few I like for an every now and again deal myself.
@@KnifeCrazzzzyI love DE head shaves. Mows through things easily and doesn’t clog up like the multi blades disposables.
Can you speak English?
Yes?
