HeadSlick Shave Cream - I've heard good stuff about this and wanted to try it out.
HeadWash - So I didn't *need* this but it matches everything else and supposedly smells good.
HeadLube Lotion Matte - I've been using Aloe as a post conditioner after I left my balm in a hotel. Interested in seeing how "matte" it really makes it.
HeadShed Lotion - Another "what the hell, why not" purchase to replace the face scrub I've been using a bit too much of given it's price.

HeadSlick Shave Cream - This is the best shaving cream out there IMHO. I use it on the dome and face.

HeadLube Lotion Matte - I just got some earlier this week. It does help to reduce the shine - which I like. It also seems to do well as a moisturizer too. My head wasn't flaky later in the day.

HeadShed - I haven't used this lately but it is good stuff. It isn't as thick or pasty as some of the other scrubs on the market.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

My roommate and his partner agree with you, just as the girl I've been trying to talk to forever but never had the balls to until last night. My confidence finally kicked in and I took the plunge and messaged her. She digs the (lack of) hair and I doubt I would have talked to her without this little kick of confidence. It's worked out great so far.

I appreciate your thoughts. :)

Great job t3ase! I jumped in myself just 2 days ago. I have been thinning for years, add psoriasis to it....and enough was enough. Although I had been warned against it, I used my Gillette Super-Speed DE after using clippers with no guard. Best idea ever, 30 or so minutes and not a nick nor irritation. The wife is not loving it so far, but hey...she didn't marry my hair...lol. I guess SWMBO will just have to deal for the moment. I love it, and everyone has been very positive so far. Thanks for a cool thread to make my first post O0

Welp, it's been (over) 30 days now and I'm still rocking the slicktop.

Observations:
My confidence has improved a huge amount, just as everyone said it would.

Friends and family weren't as discouraging as I thought they'd be, in fact everyone supported it. My Mom had a bit of a "WOW" moment (literally) when I was on the phone with her as she watched my time lapse video.

The time it takes to shave is becoming less and less but I've also found I enjoy it and feel like I'm "unwinding" when I do it. Kinda of a "me time" thing.

Other people (those I don't know) seem to have changed the way they interact with me. This is somewhat hard to explain, it just seems as though I'm treated a bit differently in a good way. Maybe it's my inner confidence showing or maybe it's how I now look. I've been told I'm now quite a bit more intimidating looking. I do carry my head up a bit higher and my chest out a bit more these days, though. Still trying to work this one out and figure what exactly is going on.

I'm single and I've noticed my "target demographic" for what I'm looking for has also changed. This may also have to do with confidence or the fact I recently moved to Cali and am changing all together. I don't know but I will say I'm getting a LOT more attention from the "puma" and "cougar" age ladies than I did before. At lot more extended smiles and a bit more attention from them, and I'm diggin' it.

I do dislike spending so much time shaving thinking I got every angle to reach up a bit later and feel some stubborn stubble. Ninja hair.

I absolutely love the feel of a pillow, especially if I leave the window open right above my bed and it's nice and chilly when I get there. Aloe vera is also a nice touch, not to mention the smell.

I had to stop wearing my Under Armor skullcap due to the marks it left on my head from being trapped between it and my helmet. No problems wearing the (motorcycle) helmet without anything so far. I do keep my head well covered in HeadLube, Aloe, and or sunscreen as needed so maybe that helps?

Anyway, thought I'd post a few photos taken tonight. I appreciate everyone's support around here and thanks for being so open and welcome with the help you give everyone. Nice to see a (seemingly) civil place like this.

Hey - welcome to the over 30 gang. Great post.

Looking at the new pictures I understand why you're drawing the attention; sly is an incredible look for you.

Excellent turn of phrase; ninja hairs.  Know them well and HATE the little ba%^*rds!     Nice relaxing shave, think everything is great, get out of the shower, dry/cool down, run my hand over the top and DAMN......

Next addition to the collection of shaving gear I've accumulated has to be some cheap disposable razors that don;t have any sort of lube strips on them. Something I can leave on the shelf over the sink to nail those little buggers and not end up with the slime the lube strips can and do leave behind...Not to hijack but anyone reading this able to suggest a decent razor for the job?
