After reading posts here, I was thinking about how everyone has their own routine for shaving. There are so many different razors, soaps, creams, lotions, and products. Everyone develops a process that works for themselves, but we are always searching for something better. Our routines are very different, but our goal is the same, A smooth shaved bald head. Thank you to all the guys that share info here, it helps the newbies as well as the veteran shavers!

I shave my head in the shower.  The steam softens up my hair and it’s an easy clean up when done.  I bought a shower mirror a few months ago when Bed, Bath & Beyond closed.  It’s nice to be able to see what I’m doing instead of relying on feel.

Hi @chuck63 , I'm shave daily in the shower. I always start with the back of my head, then the sides, and then the top of my head last. I go over the top several times because I like it bbs! Sometimes I finish with a little hair conditioner, nothing like the feel of a totally smooth bald head!

Cave Dweller:
I shave every morning in the shower with my Gillette Baldly, and almost every evening at the sink with my mug, brush and double edge. I scrub the scalp with kosher salt just about every day before I start. It really seems to help get the hairs to start up somehow.
I always start at the left temple, and work my way around the back to my right. I also shave against the grain.

Razorhead:
@Cave Dweller how do you like the Gillette baldy? Any real noticeable difference in how it works and smoothness of the shave?

My process is pretty simple.  I shave in the shower. Wash my head with regular bar soap. I use a Gillette Fusion razor and Aveeno shaving gel. I have a shower mirror but I rely mostly on feel. I take my first swipe up the middle and finish the top, then right side, ledpft side and back. Behind the back of my left ear is always the trouble spot. I wash again with bar soap. Once I am out of the shower, I use witch hazel and either moisturizer or aloe gel.

I use to use king of shave oil as a base layer before applying the shaving cream. But I find that a five blade works just as well to avoid redness.
