The makers of my favorite shaving product, Total Shaving Solutions, just updated their web site. I’ve tried several shaving oils, and without question, these guys make the best.

I’ve tried several shaving oils, and without question, these guys make the best. For a head shaver, this is important. You use this stuff either instead of shave cream, or before shave cream (Which is what I do). Close shave, no skin irritation.
But the real point is, I’m featured on the site. Thanks, Dan!
I use the Headblade (url rejected by your comment system) and their Headslick shave creme. Good stuff.
I love Headslick, and headlube lotion. I love the headblade concept and the company.
But you know — I don’t like actually using the headblade. I find it’s much harder to shave with that the Mach III, which is more maneuverable and has a much much MUCH better blade.
If Headblade would adapt to a more modern blade I’d try it again, they’re a truly great idea.
That URL is http://www.headblade.com – it ran afoul of something in my blacklist. Damned comment spammers make this necessary.
I changed it from reject to moderate though so next time it should be less rude.
Well, to be honest, I do a first pass with the Headblade and then touch-up with the Mach III. Doing it with just the Mach III seems to take longer and I always seem to miss a spot.
LOVE the Mach III blade and wish like hell Headblade could use it. I heard rumblings awhile ago that they were creating an adapter to fit it but no sign of it yet.
Do you shave by feel or in the mirror? I do it completely by feel, and I almost never miss a spot unless I rush. The other thing is that shaving oil applied before the shaving cream makes the shave smoother and closer. I usually don’t use the oil alone unless I shave daily because it clogs the razor a bit when the hair is longer, but it makes the head so slick that you can’t beat the shave you get.
If HB ever do get a Mach III adapter I’m so buying one. I also just got a note from them that they’re working on a Headlube version with SPF, so I’m looking forward to that. Headlube is a great lotion but in the summer I gotta have a little protection!
Re protection: Two words — Wear a fucking hat!
I shave by feel in the shower (which may be bordering on TMI for some of your readers). I meant that I miss spots in the first go-round and touch-up that I have to go back and re-touch-up. I think I’m done, make one last feel check, and find yet another spot I need to hit before I’m done.
I haven’t tried the oil yet. I’ll give it a shot. I’m pretty lazy about shaving and it gets kind of ragged sometimes, but hey, another male product can’t hurt!
What’s the point in all this careful shaving if we just cover it with a damned hat?
Spend some time showing your bald little noggin to the Texas sun in July and you’ll understand the hat thing.
I was disappointed to click the link above and not see your scrotum. Guess I assumed too much.
Scrote pics require a charitable donation. Since there’s no Nut Cancer Walk (that I know of), I’ll settle for a donation to my wife’s Breast Cancer Walk at http://www.avonwalk.org/site/TR?px=1780148&pg=personal&fr_id=1132. (Sorry for the pimpage in your blog, Karl. Hope it’s okay.)
It’s a bruthahood of pimps here, pie-guy.
Nut Cancer guys don’t walk, they ride.
