Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head

Freshly shorn ...need the basics

(1/6) > >>

Cerebus:
I finally gathered the nerve to shave my head after contemplating the idea for the last year or two.  So about an hour ago I had the GF take the clippers to my mopp and I finished it up with a blade shave.  Now I need the basics for head/scalp care.

Should I just clean it with my regular soap in the shower? ...or use a specialized product?  Do most of you guys use a moisturizer of some type to keep your scalp from drying?  Anything special I need/should do to keep my noggin from breaking out?  Now that it's summer time, I plan to use a sunscreen of some type, any suggestion?

BTW, here are some pics:

Before, made it a mess to show how long it was:


Half way thru, just for S&G's:


After the clipper work was done:


And finally after a blade shave and shower:


I'm actually liking it way more than I thought.   O0

Welcome Cerebus to SBG's glad to have you with us.  While everyone has to develop a routine with products that work for them here is mine.  When showering use an exfoliant such as HeadShed or St.Ives Apricot scrub
Then apply HeadSlick for your razor, I use a Headblade and Fusion for the tough spots.  Avoid disposable razors if possible.  Follow that up with a cold water rinse and either ClearHead or Bald Guyz moisturizer to avoid bumps and irritation.  Again, this is just what I use.  If you check other threads you may find other sly guy routines that are a good fit for you.

Welcome Cerebus - helluva improvement!  Look through some of the old post and you will learn all you ever need to know - in fact more than you need to know! - about being sly!

SLYinKC:
Welcome, Glad you're here.  Looks great.  Paul gave some great advice.  Just experiment and find what works best for you. O0

cerebus.... welcome 2 the sly fraternity.  u might want 2 check the threads titled "headshaving".  there are numerous posts on razors and shaving routines.  make sure u use a good razor: mach 3, fusion, headblade.  stay away from the power razors because there are numerous comments that the regular mach 3 and regular fusion blades are actually better than the power.  AVOID CHEAPO RAZORS.... remember a cheap razor= bad shave.  anyways... glad that u found us.  keep us posted as u slowly develop a routine.
