Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head

Does buzzing at #1 and #0 every other day irritates skin? If yes, what to do?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rob:
The only thing I found with buzzing to a number 0 (which i did about four or five months before going SLY) was that sometimes I got pimples and itching if the bare blades werent 100% clean.  You've really got to clean them thoroughly after each use.  Better still, buy some clippers that can be used wet or dry, then theyre easier to clean (mine were dry clippers only).  The itching I expirienced was the main reason why I took to shaving instead: something I never regretted doing! 8)

I wore a #1 and #0 buzz for a while.  The velcro feel is going to drive you nuts and you'll likely end up shaving it slick.  So, why not just try shaving it slick and see what you think.  If you like the #0 better, let it grow for 2 days and you're right back at the #0 look.

Plus, rubbing a slick dome is much more enjoyable than rubbing velcro.

The Noggin:
I did the tight buzz for only 2 weeks before I decided to shave. There was no skin irritation. But with the buzz cut I often had the feeling that dirt or something was sticking to my head.

Like bem said, why don't you try to shave right away? You'll be curious about it anyway.

malaco:
Hey there, thanks for the replies guys

Well, I will probably end up shaving it at least once to see what it's like eventually, but first I'll try the #1, #0 looks, gradually... Also, I already have the clippers so there's no need to buy equipment for that. But since I plan on adopting this "low or no" hair style permanently, there will definitely be plenty of opportunities to shave lol

Back to #0, let me see if I got things together:
* Keeping the clippers without guard close to skin, but not INTO it
* Gotta clean well the blades of the clippers after every use
* Just washing the head with soap or shampoo should do it fine
* Sun protection (maybe some gel thing, since lotions or creams probably are a mess with a #0)

Missed something? Anything else?

Think ya might have it down packed.  Just to re-enforce the before said, take care of the skin in the sun even if you live where it's winter.  O0
