Welcome to Sly Bald Guys steviejosey!
There's plenty of different products that you can use. I noticed you live in the U.K. from your other post, so I can't tell you which of the following is available there. Though, there are some other guys here from the U.K. so they might be able to help you out in that department.
You can use the following:
HeadLube either Glossy or Matte
Tolsom Skin Care lotion
Lubriderm
Bald Guyz moisture gel

I am not a fan of Shine... Just due to the fact that it just does not look right to me. Now when it comes down to it, I recommend use of HeadLube Matte after you apply after shave course. The aftershave protects your head from Razor Burn and irritation. The HeadLube will protect from the side effect that Alcohol dries out your skin, and it is not chill to have a Ashy scalp... BALD MEN SHOULD NOT HAVE DANDRUFF! After that I am also a fan of the HeadShade sunscreen. Its spf 15, so it will protect you against burning, and also it will allow you to get good color in your scalp, which Is EXTREMELY important of you are a man (or woman, women shave on occasion as well, and on some it is definitely HOTT! O0) of color. I am Hispanic, if you use anything with more than an spf of 25, you are not going to get color and your scalp is going to look paler than the rest of your head.
You can also tell that I am a HUGE fan of HeadBlade products. I just find that they are designed better for the scalp, they do not cause your head to breakout, and they understand that its a lifestyle, not just a hairstyle. Hope this helps O:O

Welcome Stevie! I strongly recommend the Headlube glossy, it keeps the dome looking awesome.

I've been reading through the posts here and trying to decide what to cover my noggin with after it is shaved for the first time this coming week.
I am pale skinned so I'm assuming my scalp will be as well. I'm thinking of using a sport type sunscreen SPF 15 to get a little color in small doses. Can you apply Headlube Glossy over sunscreen? Or will it wipe off the sunscreen?
-
Obviously don't use sunscreen if you are not going to be out in the sun. I would just let the old scalp get aclimatized.

You can apply sunscreen on top of the HeadLube. HeadBlade actually makes sunscreen that they recommend to put on top of the HeadLube.

Hi stevie, i would recommend eny of the NIVEA FOR MEN after shave balms the cool kick seems to give a bit more of a shine than the others they are good value and easily availible in the uk

When I want a high gloss shine, I use mango butter from the Body Shop. Otherwise, I've been known to use nut butter from the Body Shop when I want to have less of a shine. Both products feel really good going on, and both of them smell really good, too.
