Being new to shaving my head everyday, I've been trying to find the best way for myself. I started out using a mach 3, but it gave me razor burn almost every time. As of now, I shower before shaving, and use a Gillette fusion pro glide. As for shaving cream, a friend of mine sells Mary Kay, and sold me men's sensitive skin shaving cream, it works great. I shave with the grain once over, then shave against the grain after. Always a smooth shave
If you are getting razor burn, try to avoid making multiple passes over the same place and baring down on the razor.
Congratulations, Siiyq--you look good from what we can see. Want to lose the hood? I use Headblade and Headslick myself. They work fine for me.
Congrats! They say prep is everything. I like to shave in the shower so it makes my head soft. Easier to clean up as well!
