Every guy who shaves his head and is not either very bald already or has very fair to white hair will have stubble show no matter how closely you shave or how often. When I first peeled, I was substantially chestnut brown and shaving twice a day it was impossible to get the bald shine I wanted. Time passes, my hair is now white with only a greying patches and I shine up nicely. It's an error to think that shaving one's head produces the "billiard cue ball" effect, it doesn't. And for the tan oriental gentleman, take courage, every man who shaves his head and had hair will go through the dark every where else, white on top phase. Patience and some of the above suggestions will help but time is the best curative; You will tan eventually although during the process you may not think so...Good Luck!
