Hi

can anyone recommend what they feel is the best head cream, sadly i have a horrible habit of picking at any small nick or scab, i wish i could stop this!

Any thoughts on the more expensive range such as bald Bros etc

regards

I use Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel. It's a good price and I don't nick myself at all. It has a nice lubricating property to it which helps with the razor getting a nice glide over my skin. I used to apply King of Shave Oil first and then the Aveeno on top to prevent irritation and rash. But the Aveeno alone works just as well. I get great results.

I've used the Headblade shave cream and I didn't find it as effective as the Aveeno.

Also, you may need to change your blade more frequently or get a better blade. I like fusion 5 blades. I was a huge fan of the Mach 3 razor and used it for years, but when I switched to the 5 blade I was much happier with the results. Less irritation! I also think that's when I may have stopped using the KOS oil.

Wally World used to carry a thing called "Shave Secret". It was a small bottle of oil and after showering I would apply it to my head while the skin was still wet. After that I put on whatever shave cream I was using but a really nice one was Cremo which was really slick. The oil in Shave Secret softens the hair a little bit, I guess, but the main advantage I noted was that it seemed to make my skin a little slicker. Head Blade used to have a shave cream also, I don't recall the name but I can't imagine them having given up on it.
I'm not familiar with Bald Bros so I can't give any kind of report on that.

I?ve used Edge Cooling Gel for the past year.  The cooling sensation feels good and it has a nice scent.

I've found that the more expensive doesn't always mean better. I use plain old Dial bar soap in the shower. It's pretty slippery and works great for me.
