How Often Should I Shave My Head

(1/3) > >>

Kromedome:
I usually shave on Sunday and Wednesday, but I think I might change it up to every other day. I actually shaved today, Saturday, and I will shave again tomorrow because I always shave my face on Sunday. I would love to shave every day, but I tend to get razor burn & bumps from shaving every day. I love the feel of a smooth head and appreciate any and all feedback!

It is really just a matter of preference.  I also love a daily shave, but I have never had the issues with razor burns.  Maybe a higher quality razor, such as the Gillette Fusion, would help with that.  I was a daily shave for at least my first five years of shaving.  But my baldness and hair turning more white made the stubble invisible, so my laziness took over and now I shave every 2 or sometimes three days.  But I will make sure I have a fresh shave if I have any plans.

And you could always just stop the face shaving and join those of us in the bald and bearded club. :)

It took several months before I didn't have a little razor burn. I did lots of experimenting, and finally my skin got used to the shaving. Every two days works good. At a certain point, I began shaving every morning in the shower. I also love a really smooth bald head. After shaving, I apply some witch hazel that I keep in the refrigerator, and I have a nice shine on my head.

@Kromedome Welcome to SBG.

I think your shaving frequency is just preference. Sometimes I like skipping days because I like how my head has a different texture each day. The day after is a nice mix of smooth and a little stubble, then it's sandpaper then it's soft.

When I was shaving both my face and head, I rotated days. then I gave up on the face and grew my beard back. It was a nuisance and I preferred a smooth shaved head over a smooth face. So the head won.

Regarding razor burn and bumps, use a better blade like a 5-blade fusion. I also use Aveeno Therapeutic Shaving gel. I found that using any other brand, I had to apply King of Shave oil first and then the shaving cream. Also, don't overdue the number of strokes in the same spot. It's just 2 or 3 swipes max. Anything more will lead to razor burn and risk of cuts. There will always be that one pesky stubble that will not go away and mess up the overall smoothness, but let it go. No one sees it. You want to rock a beautiful bald head not one that's all red and irritated.

Like the guys said, as much as you want to.
