Has anyone else that uses an exfoliator as a pre-shave, whether it's HeadShed or store brand, noticed that their head has gotten smoother. I know that this is what the exfoliator is supposed to help do but it's gotten to where I don't have to shave as much. Is that also what the exfoliator is meant for? To soften up your hair and scalp so you don't have to shave as much? I don't know, maybe it's just me. But since adding the HeadShed, and now the cheaper St. Ives' scrub, in my routine I've noticed in the past week I can let my head shaving go for two days instead of every day like I was doing it. I was trying to shave against the grain every day even though I would have some bad irritation. But I started noticing that 24 hours later after shaving against the grain my head would still be very smooth. I mean you could definitely feel a little stubble in some spots but it doesn't feel real prickly the way it use to before the exfoliator being added to my routine. I've been shaving every other day against the grain for the past week and it seems to be working good. My irritation has also cleared up by doing this too. Just wondering if anybody else has noticed the exfoliator making a great difference as it has for me? I also started using baby oil under my HeadSlick which also helps a lot. I don't know if that has something to do with making my hair soft also?
