Inconsistent smoothness
« on: July 02, 2024, 09:31:01 AM »
I've been shaving my head daily for over 11 years, and it still puzzles me that sometimes I get a baby butt smooth shave but some days I can't get it smooth. This is usually on top of my head, even though I shave against the grain. My shaving routine is very consistent, with the same products everytime. Like many of us, I'm always in search of a totally smooth shave. If I skip a few days, I can usually get it smooth, but I like to shave daily.


Bald by choice, and loving it!

I thought I was the only one with this problem.  I shave every day using the same routine.  I have an area on the left side in the transition area from the crown to the side of my head that?s tough to get smooth.  I go over it several times but I have to be careful not to get razor burn.

It is a common issue.  I get the best shave with 3 days growth.  But I don't want three days growth.

At least it has the look of smooth with a daily shave, but I still don't like to feel it.

I love those days that I get it 100% smooth! I enjoy running my hands over my head and feeling totally smooth skin. A little dash of witch hazel and I have an amazing shiny head!

I have exactly the same experience that you have if I try to shave every single day I get inconsistent smoothness but if I wait a day or two between shaves, I get a smoother shave!  Go figure?
