Welcome Tekgod!
I live in Seattle, and my fiance and I try to get out on day or camping trips whenever we get the time.
One of my old professors found a secluded campsite on Baker Lake, that sits on a small landing just before the lake; it's beautiful. You can probably fit 3-4 tents with a campfire in the area.
Because it's secluded and unmarked, he has specific directions to get there (he even has you reset your trip odometer at one point, and at something like 11.2 miles he has you pull to the side of the road!)
I'm out of touch with the guy now, but if I make contact with him, I can get those directions to you. Otherwise, there are plenty of areas to camp around Baker Lake, designated and undesignated, that are great during the summer time.
If you haven't been there before, take the Sedro-Wooley exit of off I-5. Head East on Highway 20 (or N Cascades Hwy), and eventually take a left on Baker Lake Rd. The lake will soon be on your right, and you're free to choose your camping area!
There is also a decent campground a few of my buddies go to on occassion, on Whidbey Island, called South Whidbey State Park.
Let me know if you have any regular spots that are worth checking out.
Take care -

Honestly, I was using regular soap lather to shave, but after reading the info on here, I grabbed some HeadSlick and Bald Guyz moisture gel.. My fiance donated some of the St Ives Apricot Scrub i think SimplyRed was talking about.... Hopefully, that'll fix it..
Hey welcome TekGod!
You're doing the right thing getting rid of the regular soap. I had some irritation and razor burn when I first started out Sly. It healed up in about a week. I use a HB with the HeadSlick and it works wonders for me. -

Welcome Tek the sly look suites you.
I've noticed less irritation by trying to get all the hair on the first/second go around. Anymore than that and it's punishment on the scalp. After that, I like to finish with a cold rinse and put some aloe on the head. After applying the lotion I can clean up the spots without much irritation. That worked for me anyway. I'm also hearing good things about Witch Hazel, but havn't tried it out yet.
Looks good man, keep it smooth!

Welcome to SBG's Tek, glad you joined us and thanks for your service.
All my bro's have given good advice, so I will only add that you give Bald Guyz moisture gel a try. I use it and find it to be one of the best for the noggin'.
Give the Dickinson's witch hazel a shot too, it really helps soothe the scalp. I usually use this every other day.
Enjoy your new found freedom, and keep us posted on how things go.
Keep it smooth!
