New member from the UK!
« on: September 25, 2010, 08:49:47 AM »
So, after years of trying to hide it, I finally did it a few weeks ago! All going well so far. First week I shaved with an electric shaver, but then quickly moved on to a proper blade as it feels much better and lasts all day!

Now my only thing I need is a good moisturiser, that is available in the UK! Any advice? I'm using some L'oreal Men Expert Matte stuff, as I want my head to be less shiny (just personal preference), but it has alcohol in it which I'm sure can't be good long term. So, what else is out there to keep my head feeling smooth but non-shiny?

Oh, I also need some good suncream recommendations!

I definitely DON'T look better bald, but it's better than the combover look!

I've only just joined myself so take my advice with a pinch of salt.

As for sunscreen I use Coppertone Sport with a SPF of 30. I live in Japan and swim outside, with no cap on, all August and it does the trick for me. I also like the matte look and this sunscreen does make my head pretty shiny but it is a dry shine and not a greasy shine.
