I prefer shinny over matte.

As much shine as possible!

To get a shiny dome, I find a close shave with my DE and generous splash of aftershave does the job. It  pulls my scalp nice and tight. Applying a moisteriser does not seem to give me a shine, in fact it makes it more matt, sometimes "oily".

Although I'm a high shine guy, by chance I've discovered a really super matte product--I mean no shine, no gleam just pure matte.  It's Banana Boat's Sport Perfomance "Clear UltraMist" 30 spf broad spectrum sunscreen.  I sprayed it on, and I went into panic mode--zip on shine as it dried :o.  Now, I don't know how long the effect lasts, but it is supposed to be reapplied every 80 minutes for water resistence.  I solved the problem topping it with Nivea Extreme Comfort and finished off with Aloe Vera gel--I had to get some shine. 
So, if you're a matte kind of person, this will do the "trick!"  If it's a trick you want.  I still use it for sun protection, but I work on the shine once it dries--so far sun protection seems excellent.

The shinier the better.  I'm still working on this.  I have been buffing my head with the towel after a shower and then rubbing in some Bald Guyz Moisture gel.  This seems to work pretty well, in fact a few people have asked if I am waxing my head.
