pimples on head but not razor burn

With at least a week's growth you'll want to use clippers or the very short trimmer attachment on the Cleanhead first. 

My skin is pretty sensitive and I have used both the Afta preshave and plain rubbing alcohol.  I've found the Afta to be slightly more effective than the alcohol but not by much.

Given your breakout history I would give the Cleanhead a good cleaning after each use and rinse out the foil with alcohol to keep from spreading bacteria.  Unfortuntely the one thing I dislike about the Cleanhead is that it is rather poorly designed when it comes to disassembly for cleaning - but it has a decent warranty so...

My head is still a mess and I'm going to be making an appointment with a dermatologist.  I used the Clean Head on the lowest clipper setting.  I don't want to try the foil razor until my head is completely healed.  My head looks a lot better than it did but I still have a lot of irritation there.  Hopefully I'll clear up soon.  I'll let you guys know how I make out.

Ok well my head really looking a lot better.  I still have some red spots where my breakouts were but they aren't raised.  Hopefully with time they will fade away.  I bought a Neutrogena acne kit that comes with an ance soap/scrub, Benzoyle creame, and a 15spf sunblock mositerizer.  So for the combination of using this and shaving daily with the CleanHead has made a big difference.  I'm also thinking about buying won of the panasonic linear wet/dry shavers.  I read some good reviews on here about them but they are a little pricey.  I'll most likely continue to use the CleanHead until it wears out and then spend the extra money on the Panny! 

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with the Panasonic Linear Electric Shavers?

Every so often in the heat of summer, my head breaks out with red bumps as well.....mostly on the side of my head above the ears. I work outside in 90+ degree weather during the summer, sweat like an animal & have a hat on to protect the dome most of the time. I follow a strict regime during my shaving, do it the same each time. When the heat causes the bumps to appear, I use extra Witch Hazel after shaving & use alcohol pads throughout the day followed by a good alcohol rubdown before bed. As mentioned in the thread, the key is cleanliness, a good exfoliating wash, and keeping the pores clear throughout the day of sweating. Just my .02 cents.....  :)

Hi guys

First time here.

I have the same problem and got to this site while googling for solution. I have pimples on my head. In my case my hand is the culprit. If I touch my face or my head there will be pimples there soon. Can't keep my hands clean all day because I work and I have this bad habit of holding my face or head . My right hand never stays idle.

Now the shaving part. The problem is when I shave I cut myself every where there are pimples and bleed. Some times the pimples act as a start point and cut a good chunk of skin which is painfull. Some one suggested  I use a shampoo with tea-tree oil. It helps with the pimples but I find it harsh on the scalp.

Is there a chemical shaver ? Some thing like a lotion you put on the hair or wash with and then after a few minutes the hair falls off ?
