Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head
Does this product even exist?
PhriendOfChrist:
Alright, I'm planning on going "baldy" within a few weeks.
I've seen some of the "HeadBlade" products, but I'm also convinced that no human on Earth can actually afford them.
That being said, I'm looking for a moisturizer with sunscreen (that won't clog my pores) and that will keep my head shiny. You know, like an all-in-one thingy.
Does such a product exist? :-\
(Ummm....and how on Earth do I know which products will clog pores and which ones won't???)

POC, welcome to the boards! You've made an excellent choice in going sly. O0
When I started using my HeadBlade and their fine products I spent a one time razor purchase of $15. I spend $7 every 2 months for blades*, $9 every 2 months for HeadSlick shaving cream**, $9 every 2 months for HeadShed scalp exfoliator and $9 every 2 months for HeadLube Lotion***.
So my start cost for shaving and head care would be:
7 + 9 + 9 ÷ 2 = 12.50 + 15 = $27.50
and a monthly upkeep of:
7 + 9 + 9 +9 ÷ 2 = $17.00
So, overall...that's not expensive beyond reason...and I'm a starving musician (lol). Seriously though, HB stuff is pretty comparably priced to most other brand name head care products on the market.
HeadLube is specially formulated for your scalp! It won't clog your pores and comes in both Glossy and Matte finish. It's not a sunscreen, but hey, nothigns perfect right?
Good luck in your quest for an all-in-one scapl finishing product.
* HeadBlade razors use the Gillette Atra blade for replacement. I have found that nearly every major grocery store chain offers it’s own in house knock off brand of Gillette Atra blades. They sell for about $7 for 8 blades. Shaving both my head and face with the HB I go through about 1 blade per week. That’s 8 weeks (2 months) per pack on average. Since this expense is every 2 months rather than monthly, I had to divide the cost by 2.
**A single 8oz. Bottle of HeadSlick, HeadShed & Headlube shaving lasts me about 2 months. Since it takes 2 months to use it up I have to divide the cost by 2, for a per month analysis.

Welcome to SBG's Phriend. Glad to have you with us. Vash is right, the overall cost is not out of line for what you might pay for your normal hygienic care (normal shave gel, blades, shampoo, conditioners, etc. ) As for problem with pores, I have rather oily skin which can react badly to some products and with the HeadSlick I have had no problems. Using the ClearHead in conjuction with that I get no clogged pores or skin outbreaks. Hope this helps a little.

Wow good post Vash, I think that you prety much sumed it all up, there is realy nothing left to say, accept to agree with you 100%.
schro:
Like Paul, I also have oily skin and also suffered from a severe case of dandruff (hereditary thing). Since I have been shaving my head (using HeadBlade products almost exclusively), my scalp has never been healthier and have not had ANY recurrance of my severe dandruff (sebhorric dermatitis). I'm not sure if different products would yield the same excellent results, but IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.
HeadBlade products rock (HeadSlick, HB Razor, and HeadLube) and are competitively priced.
Peace,
Schro
