It's taken 8 months of head shaving to finally get it right. I've been using the head blade sport daily which gives me the closest shave (even better than the three occasions when I have had a cut throat head shave at the Barbers). However having a full head of thick dark hair, I have always been left with a light shadow and assumed that was how it had to be. Browsing this site, I came across reviews for head blade shed, slick and lube and decided to purchase all 3 which arrived yesterday. All I can say is wow- the shed and slick gave me the closest shave I have ever had- Amazingly smooth and the gloss lube has finally given me the healthy long lasting shine that I have wanted to achieve. Having woken up this morning I am amazed that my scalp is still smooth and glossy and not like sandpaper as per usual. I am really impressed and will be making further orders of these products.
