Yeah Tapehead, I remember it was a pain to remove that hcm piece. If you can wait a week or so you can remove it pretty easy with electric shears. This is how they do it...they are basically cutting the piece away from the shaved hair that it is attached to, as you lift the piece up on the sides you hit the hairs that its attached too with the razor and it will pull away. Once you get it off its easy to remove the tape from the poly sides. Good point by Fred also, get the video it helped me out big time.
