Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Trimming Your Head/Hair

best way to shave the noggin for the 1st time?

<< < (2/3) > >>

THier:
As a new SBG here is MY opinion,,

The beard clipper will work,,, but it will be a lot of work. I had a hair clipper and that was a piece of cake.

I bought and used a Head Blade Sport for my first and every shave. (everyday for me)

I tried regular shave cream,, had less than perfect results, I bought HB Head Slick,, MUCH better.

I shaved off a full thick head of hair because I got tired of taking care of it, I needed to get a cut every two weeks,, three at the max. Now I spend maybe 5 mins shaving the dome in the shower.

Oh welcome, enjoy the baldness!! O0

I'm planning on going bald next weekend (I just decided, and I need time to do research).

My first question is: Can I use my facial hair trimmer to get my hair down to stubble? I don't really want to buy a new set of trimmers.

Of course you can use your beard trimmer to go down to stubble.
 No need to buy expensive clippers for the one time trim.

I used my beard trimmer for years for short buzzing my hair.

Last year I bought a HB sport and HeadSlick. My first shave gave me some nicks and cuts, but what matters?
For the first time the HB with triple blade and going with the grain avoided the floods of blood  O0:

Rule No 1-10: No pressure upon the blades!!!!!

After some days I changed the blades and use till now my HB with double blades, first with, then against the grain. It gives the smoothest shave.

My routine: Shower with hot water, every other day exfoliating with HeadShed, then HeadSlick and shaving. After drying the skin moisturing with HeadLube glossy and the day starts with a slick shining head.  ::)

Enjoy your way to baldness and your new look.

Listen to BaldBen,  a one time buzz shave does not need 'real equipment"..

or get the cool barbershop experience of walking in with hair and asking your barber to shave your head completely bald, smooth and to the skin (extra cool if there is a crowd)...

or go to a $5.00 barber and have him buzz you stubble bald and you do the rest!

Just get there...you'll dig being bald! O0

Update:

I decided on the Headblade Sport (the only HB they had), with triple blades. I've used the Mach3 on my face before, and always got a little blood. I'll probably get blood with the HB for the first few times too, but I just think it'll be easier for me in the long run. I also got the Headshield gel, and an aftershave balm with SPF 15. I'm sure I'll find my own routine from here, but is there anything else I absolutely need right off the bat?

Now that I have everything I need, I really want to just shave it all off now! I probably won't wait a week. But I do want my goatee to grow a little longer. Probably two days at the most.

How long do the shaves take, before I get used to the routine?
