“What about a cartridge razor?
NOT recommended.
They are too costly, require frequent clearing of clogged blades during shave and don't do as good of a job.
First blades trims, second blade further cuts down the hair and third blade finishes the job.
With each blade pass, your skin is pulled and tugged, which is bad for the skin.”


I’d disagree with the above part. DE’s work well for the head but I personally much prefer carts for the head. I just get a much closer, smoother shave. They work beautifully up above. DE’s for the face.

Cartridge razors do just fine on my head. A cart lasts a month. No nicks, no thoughts, adequately smooth.
Straight? Not me!

I have a simply guide for my fellow eagles...

I've been head shaving for almost a decade. Get yourself a fog-free shower mirror. Get yourself a Plissoft brush, good soap and a RazoRock Mamba. You will thank me later. After 15-20 Mamba head shaves you will never pick up another cart razor again!

So I've been wondering....do you do multiple passes, WTG/ATG/XTG? or just one and touch ups? Is nicking and cutting a problem?

Good questions, I would like to know what others do as well. I've always stuck with one pass.

That's what I came to believed, as my personal experience has not been that great with cartridge razors.

I do one pass and touch ups, always in the shower.

I have probably shaved my head with the Mamba 300-400 times, I have never even nicked myself once. I have cut off a pimple but that will happen with a cart too. It takes me about 5 minutes start to finish.

Sounds good, thanks - Does it make a difference if its New Mamba or Black Mamba?
