Yeah, I agree.....I don't like the lube either and have a full bottle sitting on the shelf....my head is naturally oily anyway and my Nivea after shave balm is more than enough for a shine.
Don't use the Headlube either. I got not 1 , but 2 bottles sitting on the shelf. Matte and gloss. I currenlty use aloe and works fine, but it gives a somewhat sticky feeling. I might be using the wrong kind of aloe. Any suggestions for a different kind?
I use glossy for the type of shine that can blind airline pilots
I guess I'll have to disagree with the majority here, I don't find it very greasy at all, especially compared to 95% of all other lotions out there. The tiny bit of greasiness I experience is gone before I leave the house. I also use the glossy HeadLube on my blackleg and right after putting it on, I can see the reflection of my hand on my tattoo work, which is pretty gnarly.
I like the glossy, as well... I like the lil bit of extra shine it gives me, and I don't find it all that greasy, either. But then, I haven't tried a lot of products, so don't have a lot to compare it to.
