I frequently had ingrown hairs and bump from razors like the mach 3. I use a safety razor now with some sensitive skin proraso shaving soap and the problem actually cleared itself up. Though I do not shave my head so I cants comment there.

Yeah so I’ll have to say - safety is king for the beard, but the newer ones are MUCH better for the head. I slipped once with the safety and had a 5cm cut that bled for about 2 hours? Absolute crime scene in the shower.

I think it’s an individual thing though, I’ve just found the commercial multi-bladed are a little more idiot proof, which helps me.

I don’t shave my head, but get bumps and irritation on my face until I used the feather blades, which seem to be super sharp. I also found I can’t reuse them either because that causes irritation, too.

I get bumps on my neck from shaving. A safety razor drastically reduced them.

I eventually switched to a straight razor. That's been the least bumps and irritation for me.

>Any men who shave their head out there, or who have some bumps and occasional ingrown hairs on the chin line and have success with these?

Head shaver here.

I have used safety razors for years. When I shaved my face daily, my standard was a Merkur 39C slant. It's famously aggressive, but I had my technique down and found it to be the best. I have tried numerous others and could always get close shaves. Even with experience and a good technique, I could never get a great shave on my head so I stuck with a Mach3 for that task.

Then I tried the Henson AL13. It was a gamechanger for me. I found it as easy to use on my head as any disposable. I highly recommend Henson Shaving for head shavers. It is a great product. My only complaint is that it's aluminum (personal preference.) I've been toying with the idea of buying their titanium version but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
