I posted earlier this week with will go bald Thursday. Just wondering a couple of things. I will shave my head with Edge Gel and a Mach 3 blade, as I said in my prior post the top of my head is already bald after wearing systems for twenty years. First I will trim the sides and back of my head down with a Norelco electric razor. I will then take a shower and use hot water on my head and then I will shave at the sink because it would seem more comfortable for the first time. After shaving I guess I will go back in the shower again and put some cold water on my head and then do a ice cube rub. Just wondering if you do this procedure with the ice all of the time or just at the beginning. Should I then put aloe vera gel on my head or something else. As I said I will be in the sun for the next two weeks so should I start out with a Sport SPF 50, how much sun should I get even with the sunscreen on. If I will be going in the sun everyday should I put the sunscreen on after shaving without using the aloe vera gel until later in the day once I get out of the sun. I know my post sounds confusing but I want to make sure I make somewhat of a SMOOTH transition. I'm Irish and do seem to get red but I also do tan, but thats an Irish tan. Just don't want to burn my head at the very beginning. I really just want to know what would be the best advice for me while on vacation. Thank you everyone who has repled to my prior post.
