Washing Your Dome

DOC_OSMC:
This may seem like a stupid rookie question, so please don't throw tomatoes at me but I'm curious, what do you all use to wash your bald head?  Still using shampoo?  Regular bar soap?  Face cleanser? Body wash?  etc.

I ask this because I myself still use shampoo, but had run out this morning and had to use my Cetaphil face cleanser to wash my head before shaving it.  I never really gave it much thought until this morning.  I had always continued to use shampoo when I started shaving my head.  First, I continued to use the Bosley Hair System shampoo that I had been using when I had hair.  When that ran out, I went and bought the cheaper brand shampoos like Herbal Essence. 

So it got me wondering, does it really matter what we wash our head with at this point since there's not really much hair?  Is is a good shampoo necessary to soften the hairs before we apply the cream to shave it.

Like I said, sounds rookie doesn't it?

Bar soap for me, but I exfoliate once a week with apricot scrub. You can add some sugar to the scrub for extra oomph.

I treat my face like I treat my dome.  Depending on mood... I wash it with either Noxzema, Men's Nivea Facial Wash, or Men's Neutrogenia Facial Wash.  Like Reddog... I also exfoliate my skin with an apricot scrub once a week.  Kindly keep us posted on what you decide.

Ordinary bar soap here plus I exfoliate once or twice a week. More if it looks or feels necessary.

DOC_OSMC:
I should note that I used the shampoo to wash my beard as well.

I did try exfoliating my face once when I was younger but that only stuck for about a month or two.  I've never done that to the head.  Does it really help?
