Sink shave after a nice hot shower.

1.  Shampoo:  Bosley Hair Shampoo (I wash the beard with this as well)

2.  Razor:  Gillette Fusion Pro-Glide

3.  Shave Gel:  AVEENO® POSITIVELY SMOOTH® Shave Gel

4.  After-shave:  AVEENO® Men's™ After Shave Lotion all over the head for that nice cooling sensation.

Nice, smooth, and shiny all day long!

I shave at the sink after a hot shower, but my first shave of 2014 was at the gym and the hot water was out.  So it was a sink shave after a cold shower. 
Blade:  Gillette Fusion
Soap: Headslick Shave Cream

Fortunately the hot water was working by the time I got to the sink to shave, so at least I got a nice hot shave.

Razor  : HeadBlade ATX
Blade: HB6
(Pre)Shaving Oil: Fanciful Fox "Dapper" shave oil (from a small store in Scranton)
Shave Cream: HeadSlick
Aftershave: Game Day AfterShave
Moisturizer: Bulldog Natural Skincare moisturizer


Normally don't use preshave oil, but the skin is a little irritated. 

[Ming the Merciless]

Ming keeps his Imperial Exchequer amply topped up by being a skinflint in matters that fly under the radar in public.  First of the year?  As always.

Sorry, guys, but "The Merciless" finds that bags of no-name (from Target) disposable razors and canned shaving cream (Barbasol) work just fine.  What does "fine" mean?  The dome is slick to the imperial palm run over it post-shave; there are no nicks; there is no redness or razor burn.  A single disposable razor lasts a couple of weeks.  What's not to like?

But Ming does not prescribe, only describes.  Whatever works for you.

With the savings from razor expenses, Ming soon plans to buy a Ferrari.

Pre-shave: Shave Secret
Soap: an olive oil bar soap sliced up to fit the mug
Razor: Gillette Fusion
After shave: Old Spice Original

Were it not for the mug having been my father's, I probably still would be using a canned foam or gel.

First headshave was Jan 5th.

Took my clippers and mowed off a killer flattop(grown for 6 weeks).

Jumped in the shower to clean and soften.

Shave secrect, shave gel, mach 3 razor, AHHHH, smooth again!

S/O moved out on Jan 4th, so no more issue with being sly.

[EarlBald]

Reddog, you look fantastic with that shiny bald head!  If your SO objected to it, it was her loss!  Welcome back to slydom.

Here's a new step for me.  I found self-pic (taken by someone else, not a "selfie") that is from one of my earlier sly periods.  I went thru an old post that showed me how to make it my avatar.  We'll see if it works!  I think that it gives you an idea of what I look like.

[reddog]

Thanks Earl, I've got 2 gals that have showed interest already, and they both said they love the sly look. Hmmm, that never happened when I had hair!

Hi EarlBald

First time I've seen your pic and miust say you look good.  Notice you have been a member on and off since 2007 so presume you have been shaved most of that time. 

[EarlBald]

Thanks, Roger.  I've been sly off and on for many years, but I think I've finally settled into it.  I don't have too many self-pics, so this one is from an earlier sly period, about 1 1/2 years ago.  Still, you get the idea.  I think you look good bald, too!
