If I have my way, I would like my scalp to be shiny all the time but depending on the weather, there are days my scalp is matte.

I try not to hide my light under a bushel.  And if I can't make my dome actually emit light, I can at least aim for specular reflection.  Shiny, but only on shave days when freshly HeadLubed "Glossy."  Between-days the world has to do without my glitter.  Their loss.

I prefer the shiny look myself. Headblade glossy head lube does the trick.

It depends on the situation...around the house, casual situations, normal days at the office then the shinier the better.  For some reason I think I look better in a blazer or suit and tie with it matte.  Somedays the shiineis there all by itself, when it needs a bit of help I use headlube glossy, aloe vera or an oil which I can't recall thename of at the moment.  For a matte look I stick to Headlube or have been known to hit it very lightly with some Pinaud/Clubman talc.

I'll find out shortly, but I expect I'd prefer shiny.  Like the shiny look on other men.

I've done both. As long as it's smooth, I'm good with either. Has this become a game show "Shine or no Shine?"

Most of the time I go for matte, but whenever I want that high shine, I use HeadLube Glossy.  8)

Normally the more shine the better but every once in awhile I do like the matte look. The bad thing for me as far as products go, both headlube matte and glossy have the same affect for me, just dulls the natural shine I have. When I have a blinding shine that random people at the grocery store comment on, it makes me feel great inside. But when I have a matte look and I still look awesome it is almost as good

I prefer the shine also and have been using Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera and Headlube glossy with very good results.

I opt for a mate but my head is naturally shiny and oily.

You use both of these at the same time? Or a choice of one or the other depending upon how you feel?

And for the record, I'd prefer the shiny look.  Right now, I'd say it's semi-shiny.

Typically no but I have on occasion used them both together.

The Aloe_Vera is what I usually use and then sometimes I'll apply Headlube glossy on top of it. Usually I just use Witch Hazel and then the Aloe Vera which in itself provides a nice shine.

I've never been able to get a matte head, so it has to be shiny for me by default.  O0

I love the shiny look. I use either HeadLube Glossy or Bald Guyz Moisture Gel. The moisture gel does a surprisingly good job of leaving a real shine and it leaves my scalp feeling great.

dr organics aloe Vera gel for me.  Shiny as a new penny!

I prefer the shiny dome, but when I shaved my head I had a matte look despite my natural oily skin.

got to agree with marky boy on this one, got to be dr organics double strengh aloe vera gell, this has got to be the best product on the market for those who prefare a real glossy dome, headlube glossy is matt compared to this product.

Post by: Dr-photo on March 12, 2012, 05:28:12 AM
Natural shine, or super shiny with the help of a couple of drops of a natural brasilian oil whose name I have forgotten. Fresh and smooth is more important than shine though

Sounds like a great product. Do you happen to know if this is available in the States? I did a search and can't locate it.

As a newbie to everything sly, I have not quite decided yet.  But I think I will go for the shiny look.  I intend getting the whole HeadBlade range, from the scrub to the shine (except the sunscreen).
