  • Why Men Should Shave Their Legs

    ,

    It’s a controversial topic with differing opinions all round, but I’m happy to hold my hand up and admit I’ve been shaving my legs for a couple of years. I like the way they feel, I like the way they look, the skin on my legs seems healthier with regular shaving, and there’s no way…

  • Review: Head Shaving with the Henson AL13

    ,

    In my post about how I was upgrading from foil to blades for head shaving, I mentioned I had just ordered a Henson AL13 aluminium safety razor, and that I would write about it soon. In this post I will reflect on my first impressions and initial experiences. The Henson AL13 is a nice piece…

  • Upgrading from Foil to Blades for Head Shaving

    For over four years, I’ve been shaving my head daily, starting off with a rotary shaver (Remington RX5) for the first year, before switching to a foil shaver (Babyliss Pro Titanium) for the last three years.

  • Yes, I Still Shave My Head

    ,

    I’ve already written about the experience of buzzing my hair and shaving my head for the first time, but that was almost a year ago, so I thought it was about time I wrote a follow-up post. To Recap… Just before the UK went into lockdown last year, I buzzed all my hair off for…

  • How it Really Feels to Shave Your Head

    ,

    Spoiler: it’s amazing! Back in March, just before the UK announced it was going into lockdown, I buzzed all the hair off my head. Two months later, I’m still sporting the buzzed/shaved/bald look, and loving it. Here, I’m going to address some of the doubts other guys may have when they are thinking of embarking…
