at this point i just don't want any freckling to mess up the perfect slick dome ;).....

but alas.....I have some freckling due to stupid youth and my desire to have a skinned, really nicely tanned head way back in the early days...

if I had known i would have settled for a shiny white perfect, non- flawed dome instead of a few weeks of a real dark tanned melon! :-[

a short lived tan is NOT worth it bros!

I will fall guilty to this.  I learned this past weekend...DONT TAKE ANY CHANCES.  I was hanging vinyl siding and decided I would go 1 day ..just 1 day without any sunscreen.  Cause I have the white winter cap on my head from this past winter which sucked butt.  Anyways...come sunday I was feeling the burn a little on my head.  Most of the day sunday I wore a hat cause I didnt have any sunscreen in the house and I went and bought some on monday.  Well today is Wednesday and I get up to get in the shower and my head looks like freakin Winter Wonder Land...you guessed it...peeling.  I didnt burn that much...just a little tender.
So what I am saying here bro's...dont take the chance. IT is very very IMPORTANT that you wear sunscreen no matter how bad you want that nice bronze look on your noggin.  I dont think anyone can stress it enough on how important it is. Here it isnt even summer yet....and we are already dealing with it.  Take care of that noggin...
Timmay!

I agree Tim. I was out a few weeks back doing the yardwork, (lawn etc. ).
As you know the sun is relentless out here, but I figured it was early, so I skipped the sunscreen. Not a good idea, and I found out later I did have a burn. Not too bad, but definitely a bit uncomfortable. And then a few days later comes the peeling, which as some of you may already know makes shaving a little rougher, with all the dead skin being picked up by the blades. Makes for a more time consuming and sloppier shave.

So, make sure you apply that sunscreen to the domes fella's!, for the health of your scalp, now and down the road.

I've been using an Aveeno brand for a few years now that's always worked good.  Not greasy, good SPF, and being Aveeno you know it isn't going to clog pores.  But I have been thinking of trying the Bald Guyz brand out.  I've heard good things about it and I've used their other products in the past.

Likewise, the Coppertone for me. I use the travel bottle when I'm out in the kayak. What I like best about it is it doesn't run down into my eyes when wet either from sweat or water splashes on the river.

The weather finally got sunny here today and I went to the console of my car to get my sunscreen to keep my dome protected.  I realized that I was almost out so I made a quick trip to Wally World. 

Looking at everything they had, I saw that Banana Boat has a new product that is a spray and it said on the label that is was made for the scalp.  First time I have seen anything like that, unless it came from Bald Guyz.  I checked their website and couldn't find it listed or even a pic.  Has anyone else ran into this stuff????
