Beginners head shaving kit, what should I get?
« on: May 30, 2007, 02:07:42 PM »
Alright, still haven't shaved yet, I'm in the process of building confidence and finding a good time.

What should I get?  I don't want a shiny head, and I would like a rather quick shave, so that I don't get lazy and will want to do it every day.

I would also like to maintain the non glossyness throughout the day, and I would want to be able to get color, while not getting burnt.  Suggestions?  I'm lookin for a beginning to end routine here.

Thanks a lot guys.

www.headblade.com and order a starter kit gold if ya dont mind the price..it has everything you need to start and then some.....the starter kit silver is a lil cheaper ....headblade is offering 20% off to SBG members plus you get a free beenie.

when i shaved mine i got 5 tanning sessions deal and did that to get some color on quick.


if you dont want a shiny head then use the headlube "Matte" lotion.....theres also Matte for men with spf 25..and i'm sure baldguyz.com has some too

I just shaved my dome for the 1st time today and used a Mach III, though I did recently purchase a Headblade just haven't used it yet. 

Try out the HeadShed Exfoliator, then use HeadLube, and then ClearHead, followed by the Matte lotion.  I tried the "Glossy" lotion today and the result was way too much shine IMO.  Headblade also has some sunscreen too called HeadShade but I haven't used it yet.   

Look around here on the forum for alternatives - a couple of the guys have mentioned other products also.

Also, as someone who's been on the fence about going SLY, I finally shaved it all off today and I gotta tell you it's quite liberating.  Go for it!

KySly, It's unreal that you just shaved.  You look like a pro and a natural.

if you haven't shaved you head yet, I would say to save your money. Use your existing wet razor and decide if you like it and want to keep it before dishing out for a HB and related products.

And to go off of what has already been said, HeadBlade has some Dope Starter Kits.
