I prefer the matte look on myself, but see a lot of sly guys pulling off the shiny look and really rocking it.  Maybe it's because I have very dark hair (just not a lot of it) and my shadow is a natural predator of the shine?....

You know what - I'll give the shiny look an honest try tomorrow... why not!  8)

I too have dark hair, but I still have a great shine (though it aint visible in my avatar pic! - see the photo below)  I don't actually do anything to promote it, except put a little moisturiser on after i shave, but its shiny all the time, and that's my personal preference O0

Touch of Head Blade "Glossy" from time to time; otherwise, what sunlight and the razor produce.

My head shines, whether I want it to or not. I give it no thought at all.

As promised, I went with the shine today.  The lighting in the pic doesn't show it off well, but I actually got it pretty reflective:



Followed my usual routine, but then washed my dome with a body wash that had (accidentally) turned up the shine factor previously, then rinsed with cold Cold COLD water and ended with Bald Guyz moisturizer (instead of my typical Headblade Matte).  It's a different look for sure.  I'll probably stick with matte but keep this in my arsenal... good to have options.  Certainly won't be the last time I go shiny!

I find that a shine helps camouflage any nicks or blemishes that might be present on the dome at any given time.  Has anyone else noticed this?

Yep.  All I need to do is...um...not wash my head every 6 hours or so!  Pow!  Insta-gloss!
Same here, I would rather have shine than oil though.
I used to love the shine and still like it but now also like a matte look.  O:O
I like the matte look aswell, do you use any special products to reduce shine/oil?

well anything to reduce the oils of the head there is witch hazel and then there is Head shed, wipes and matte moisturizer all from HB.

Witch hazel is good for producing a great shine also.  To get my head to really shine, I rinse it with very cold water, pat it dry and apply witch hazel.  It shines like glass.

I have to say I have been looking for something to use to shine my head with, I am very excited about trying out the headlube glossy! I think the shinier the better, I am bald and proud so I want to shine.

WOW I HATE REPEAT HATE the shine and am totally amazed by you guys?? Do you like a woman's face shinny? I seriously doubt it and the six head is just an extension of the forehead! I think it looks rediculous to walk around with a bright shinny head and much more suttle and cool to have a tan matte finish.

To each his own no doubt but you can KEEP THE SHINE to yourself in my book cause it looks :*)) :*))

agreed dude what he is sayin f the shine is just makes you looke retarded and sick. no shine is best if ever can be.
