Hey guys,
I've actually been a member for a little while but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to check things out, that is until today. I just launched my freelance multimedia career so I've been swamped with work and business stuff, time to have some fun!
I look forward to meeting other cue balls & seeing if I can finally find a way to get rid of that damn razor burn...
Cheers!

Great to have you on board, undercover. Welcome. Check out the posts in the HeadShaving section for clues on reducing or eliminating that razor burn. Most likely it is due to the fact that you are new to being sly. As the skin toughens up, you won't burn so easily. In the meantime, try and aloe vera gel. Kept in the fridge it gives a cool and refreshing application to the skin. Also be sure to do a cold water rinse after shaving to reduce irritation and close the pores.

Welcome here, Bro!
Glad you joined:
A propos razorburn: Use a good razor - Headblade - with fresh blades (tripple don't shave as close as doubles, but induce less irritations), a good lather - Headslick - , no pressure on the blades at all, a cold water rinse after shaving and a good moisturer - Headlube. Good luck and best wishes. Keep it smooth.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the welcome, I'm obviously in good company around here!
I actually didn't know that about the double blades, that's good information! When my headblade dies & I have no more cartriges I default back to the Gillette Fusion, but at nearly $20 million a blade, that gets a little pricey

I think "Razor Burn" might not be the best term, because it isn't so much the burn as it is those nasty red blotches we all get around the sides and the back that don't really hurt but are just... THERE.
It doesn't happen all the time but I'll definitely be checking out the forums for advice

I like the cold aloe vera trick, I think I'm gonna try that! At the very least my dome will be more kissable...
LOL mangosink12572 , if it hasn't been done already I think you may have just come up with another thread!

There's a ton of posts on this problem from the guys that get it--RazorX added the possibility of allergic reaction to shaving products. For me, astringent after shaving, washing the dome at least 2 times a day w/ Cuticura anti-bacterial soap--feels great too- and lastly, changing my pillowcase frequently. Without hair to take up the stuff, I think that the pillowcase absorbs the oils and stuff that continue to come out of follicles on the scalp whether they are producing hair or not. Keeping it clean, keeps it clear.
