I wasn't sure where to put this thread; anyhow. Can anyone please advise me the best tool for head shaving? Should I try with one of my de/se razors, or one of those things that look like R2D2?

Thanks in anticipation.

Whilst I agree in general that with practice you can use the razor you use for for face shaving just as readily for head shaving, never the less I have found some razors easier and more forgiving for head shaving. For speed and minimal risk of nicks, I find the Gillette Guard (cart) very good (a great razor to begin with) closely followed by the 1912 SE (there is something about easily maintaining the correct angle with a 1912). For DE's, paradoxically, I find a more aggressive razor easier for head shaving than a milder razor, thus the R41 works great for me. Maintaining the optimum angle for each razor does take some time to dial-in for head shaving but it is only practice. Mind your ears and eyebrows! :) ...
