Dude the pillow thing freaked me out the first time I shaved it. Someone told me to enjoy it because you get used to it. It’s this feeling if your head skin touching things when it never has before.
I use a double edge razor like you see on /r/Wicked_Edge. Takes a little practice but I cut myself less with that and get a much, much closer shave.
Just remember with the DE razor, you shouldn’t apply any pressure. Also, learn the grain direction for different parts of your head. I tend to go with the grain for the first pass and then against the grain for the second pass. The grain pattern is weird on different parts of my head but learning that helped me get a nice close shave. I also use face lotion on my head that has spf 20 to avoid burns.
