Care to help me out about these pinkish spots on my head?

NickMcKormic:
Here are some better pics to help out.

Sir Harry:
I think those are just spots that happen when a razor is put to the scalp for the first time. The key is to rub an ice cube and rub it over your head after each shave. It may be just scalp freckles but if the area is irritating, I would rub aloe vera or cortisone to heal the area. In time, when you are used to shaving, the scalp will toughen up and get used to the razor.Also, I would avoid using multiple razors on the same head shave if possible. (I guess you're using Head Blade as the main razor and the Schick to clean up in the hard to reach places, right?)

NickMcKormic:
Well since I have only been using the razor for around 2 months at this point and I am using 2 during each daily shaving session I suppose that could be it. I believe there are some scalp freckles involved but some areas are bumpy and red. Aloe Vera is a great thing for when I get cuts but it never seemed to do much good other than that so far. As far as ice, I've been using cold water, then Witch Hazel, then cocoa butter as my post shave this past week and it cleared up a little bit but still not in a really great way. I'll try with ice tonight and stick to using just the schick since it gets the better shave (even if it takes longer and is more likely to cut). I'll report back tomorrow on my results.

I would stop using headslick, witch hazel and all the things your using.  I think one of those things you may be allergic to or is causing the irritation.

It looks like the blade your using is causing small scrapes and scratches

Switch to mach 3 or fusion and shave cream that does not cause me problems is Cremo.

Follow that up with just  Antibacterial Soap, leave off anything else and just let it dry.  I think It will clear up.

NickMcKormic:
I don''t believe that is the issue. I started using Witch Hazel a few days ago and headslick after the spots started. I think it might be curable with an acne gel or something of the sort.

btw the ice cube bit is great, I tried it last night instead of rinsing off with water and it was fantastic. Thanks for that advice!
