First Time Shaving/ Trimming Head... tips?

[Heinzanova]

So I am 23, and the other day was told by a couple girls I look 30+ (34 to be exact by one)...

It is time... the little bit of hair that is left must go!

I am white, and I have two concerns. 1 is I will look like a cancer patient right off the start (any tips on liquid tanners to use, so my office co-workers don't fear me/for me).

2 is how should I do it?

My black friend suggested a zero trimmer, because he gets alot of ingrowns when he trims it?

So here are my options I see.

Trim it with lowest setting on side burn trimmer?
Use my electric face razor (brauns self cleaning job).
Go buy a Hair trimmer with a Zero setting
Get lots of shaving cream and razors...

What do you guys advise? I have sensitive skin, but at the same time my head/face is really oily.

Cheers!

If you want it to the skin buzz it with the 0 first and get it as short as possible, then take shaving cream if you want and go at your hair with a triple blade razor. I personally will buzz my hair down then shave it in the shower, prevents me from cutting myself to easily because the water with soap makes scalp nice and slick.

There is actually a deal now (not sure if its new or not) that slides on your hand like a palm brush except it has a straight razor on it... i had a buddy that used it and liked it a lot...he would shave with a zero and then get to work with that little devise...
