Starting to develop a good process, thanks everyone.
« on: May 10, 2013, 03:26:46 PM »
On my last post I talked about how I had a horrible first shave that left my head irritated and developing razor bumps. Since then I have had several very refreshing shave taking the advice you guys shared as well as from a sly friend of mine. As of now I

Exfoliate (st. ives), Head wash (headblade), apply cream, shave WTG (probably most important for me) with a Gillette Fusion, and apply some bump patrol on my sensitive areas (back of neck and side burns). Been bump and irritation free since I started this process. That bump patrol stuff is amazing, I may get their shave gel on my next go round.

I think I may post a pic on my next shave now that my dome is all better. Thanks for all the great advice.

Good job. Sounds like you are getting it dialed in so it is just right for you.
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.

First time I shaved my head I didn't use a good technique or have the tools needed so I didn't stick with it, then I found this site and learned a lot. Once armed with the know how, I gathered up the proper resources and gave it another shot and have been sly ever since.
