hey guys. sorry it has been so long but i got really busy really quick and i haven't had time to get on here. anyways as most of you know i was fighting razor bumps and i still am. im using a headblade with gelette sensor 3 blades, headslick, st ives apricot scrub, baldguyz moisturizing gel and bump patrol liquid formula. i just started using the bump patrol stuff and it seems to help but not enough.....and it stings like a bitch lol. i put a new blade in this morning and shaved and it was horrible...as soon as i looked in the mirror my head was covered with bumps but the sides of my head are the worst. i have shaved with and against the grain and i seem to have the same result. i would order some clearhead but i am in-between jobs and i am trying to save money. i am just very frustrated....I just dont know what i should do. out of desperation i used some of my mother's makeup on my head(some kind of skin-colored liquid stuff) and it took the redness out of the bumbs but of course they are still there. i am a sly man in need....please help!

Try King of Shaves Alpha oil under your headslick. Put 4-8 drops of the oil (oil costs $4.99 at CVS) and then cover with headslick. I also use Sensor blades, and I found that I get less razor burn with triple blades, but I refuse to use them because I get a closer shave with doubles... -

Bro, sounds like with all you are doing and so little results that this could be an allergic reaction. Have you consulted a dermatologist?

Another idea is maybe an electric razor? I've never tried this (I am a headblade man myself) but maybe that would cause less irritation for you?

Look for Pacific Shaving Oil. They have it at Whole Foods and stores like that. I'm trying it out right now and it's some good stuff. -

Could you possibly be putting to much pressure on the blade ,like pressing to hard ? That'll make you bump up like a fool

I had a bunch of red spots until I tried the King of Shaves Alpha Oil underneath my gel. It makes the HeadBlade slide pretty smooth across my head, so I think it helps get a closer shave too.
Also, that oil also contains Tea Tree Oil that the others mentioned. Give it a shot, sure helped me. -

hey bro...i've had trouble with burn myself. i have tried the tea tree oil, it didnt really help and it smells VERY strong...do not recommend. ive found that baby oil works great...just massage into scalp before u apply ur headslick. plus the great part is that it only costs like a buck for a big bottle
