Jukka, One thing that must be said is that head voice and falsetto are entirely two different things! Falsetto is thinner (often weaker) sounding. Head voice is used by most male singers, esp tenors, and it has a range of a fourth or a fifth. One thing I notice when I sing in head voice, usually after an F, or so is that it is very forward and bright. it almost feels like it is coming out of my cheekbones, and this is also a characteristic, hence the term "head" since it is coming out of your head and resonating in that cavity. Chest voice is obviously in your chest. As a baritone, you probably use this up until about C or D, right? Falsetto was so called because of the "false" sound of it. It will feel really weak and probably unsupported. I can sing in falsetto fairly well, but I don't really advocate the use of it, unless I am resting my head voice.
I hope this helps!
David
