Head Shaving Videos
Reposting my attempt in the appropriate forum:
My Headshave
And, for comparison, a real pro in action (someday I want to be as good as this guy):

Kind regards,

Jimbo kudos .. for your own head shave ......... I've still not got the confidence to attempt it .. the back of my neck is the closet I get , still use the wet n dry clippers or a safety when I do mine ..

Cheers Garry.
A lot of it does boil down to confidence - the first couple of times are fairly scary, but once you get a few under your belt without major incident you realise it's not so different to shaving your face.
I'd encourage you to give it a go and throw away those Bics!
James.

 Thanks Jimbo! Your encouragement led me to try a head shave yesterday - it went well enough to give it another go today. Not as smooth as my face but pretty darn good and I enjoy having that much more area to shave (some, anyway - not much left on top!) |

I'm not sure I get what you mean - I guess I could add a commentary soundtrack (David Attenborough style) over the video if that would help

Congratulations! Head shaving is addictive with the straight. I can only speak from personal experience, but it's helped a lot with my face shaving technique too.
I used to think there was no upside to being follicly challenged. Nowadays I feel blessed to have another part of my body I can use a straight on.
James.
