I shave my head 3-4x per week. I tried the Leaf and it worked fine until one of the blades came out of alignment midshave and gashed the heck out of my head. Not sure if it was user error or a freak accident, but it caused me to revert to a DE razor.
I don’t know that there is a secret code to it, other than practice. Start to finish, I can get it done in about 10 minutes, which is about what it took me with cartridge razors before I switched to DE. Everyone has to figure out what works for them, but for me the best method is to use a sharp blade (feather, Gillette platinum, personna red platinum, niacet, etc) on a very mild setting with an adjustable. I expect the Henson razors would work well for head shaving, as they have a reputation for being very user friendly. If their new titanium model was $150 instead of $250, I’d probably give it a shot. Can’t do aluminum, as I travel frequently and my razors need to be able to handle somewhat rough treatment.
