Another Head Full of Air Err.. Hair

[Code name 47]

So this is me after a 1 1/2 months after being sly I wanna keep this mess from happening but but after a day or so my head feels kinda like  which sucks cause it's always the day i need to shave again... it makes the next shave feel like as one person described it. "like one large ingrown hair"


I love being sly though I mean look at that milk dud!  any suggestions?

Welcome! Some people shave everyday to prevent breakouts...you may be one of those people. What tools (razor, cream, etc.) do you use?

I shave daily, and I've not had skin problems...but I also have never really had an issue with sensitive skin...Hope you find something that works for you...

What tools (razor, cream, etc.) do you use?

Thanks, I use the Headblade ATX and the quad blades, and fin use the bump patrol disposables for missed spots and "detail areas" eg behind the ears and sideburn area and I'm currently using HB Head Slick. The last couple of days I have been shaving with the grain only but I want to be able to continue against the grain and get that nice smooth feel. Before I forget I also use cherry Kresto hand cleaner to clean and exfoliate before I hop in the shower to shave. And thanks for the quick replies I'm glad I finally posted, I've been a long time reader.

Looks like you have some decent tools there. May I suggest a bottle of Bump Patrol to prevent bump breakouts and it is great to use even when you don't have bumps.

Below is everything I use, I never thought about using bump patrol when the bumps weren't present I only got bumps twice and figured I didn't need it anymore so I'll give that a try, that being said should I cut the Gillette after shave or do you think it'd be ok to use both? And again thank you souch for your help

[Sir Harry]

I think you'd be fine using either. Nice set of tools. The key is to not wait too long between shaves.

For the first few weeks i had constant trouble with ingrown hairs,but i stuck with it and it eventually cleared up as my scalp got used to shaving. I started out with the grain only but now i can get away with atg on top and sides every day i'll still only go wtg on the back of my head though cause that is where most of the problem was for me its clear now so i'm not going to screw with it 😊 you could also try shave secret as a pre shave oil and, cremo shaving cream it works great! One final point when i was struggling with breakout after shaving i was just putting more and more crap on there to clear it up and then i got some advice telling me that all that product could be adding to the problem so i backed off a bit and now i just use a gental face cleaner for b my head and then the other stuff i mentioned to shave i'll still splash on a few drops of bump patrol cause it feels nicethen some sunscreen. Damn that was a long post sorry to ramble on oh and great name you've got there by the way! 😃

Thanks, I'll keep those two in mind and I think I posted on your thread already but if not ; Congrats on completing the 30 days, that's my goal I'm just trying to learn how to deal with the problems I experienced in the past first, but I now think I'm ready, and I'll keep in mind what you said about piling on products, thanks! What's funny is I use the same an on a few other sites. I guess subconsciously I always wanted to be sly. We should form a group of 47's I've seen plenty on here.
