Does it leave an oily residue behind? I'd like to check that out, I'm pretty impressed with the Bald Guyz stuff that I've tried thus far, especially the head wipes.

That is tough to say. I've found that it leaves a nice sheen on your head but it keeps my head from burning. I don't know if oily is the right way to describe it. If you use too much it will leave your head tacky. I would warn against using it immediately after a shave because the alcohol in it burns. It is a quick drying gel.
If I know that I'm going to be in the sun all day, sometimes I use my kids sunscreen which is SPF 50. It smells like baby powder. I keep the Bald Guyz stuff in my work bag and slap it on when I know that I'm leaving the office to venture out in the sunlight.

I thought HB stuff was a little pricey too, at first but... I started shaving my head about 2/3rds of the way through January of this year. Just yesterday, my wife held the HB Clearhead bottle up to the sunlight and said, "why aren't you using this stuff?". I replied, "I've been using that stuff everyday since I started shaving". She said, "Wow! It's still over half full". Same story for the headlube and headslick.
The moral of the story? A little goes a long way. 8)

Welcome Phriend. I too am a big fan of Headslick as my shaving cream of choice. I have several different choices for lotions. One of my faves is Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Lotion. The key as far as I understand it when choosing a product is to look on the label for the word 'noncomedogenic' (a fancy word for something which prevents clogging of the pores). Let us know when you do the big shave.
