That Sly Look?
« on: October 11, 2008, 01:19:35 PM »
Hey all,
I was wondering :-

1.What is the best technique to acheive the "no stubble on head" look?
2. How oftern do I have to shave to get that "no stubble on head look?
3. After shaving how long is it before your head looks stubbly?

These may seem silly questions but they are important to me in the way that I dont want there to be any stubble on my head, I just want that Sly shine with no stubble/dark color that comes through to ruin it when the hair is growing back!

Cheers Fellas

1. There are as many techniques as there are SBG members. But what I find that works for me is shaving in a hot shower. Applying Shave Secret shaving oil before applying HeadBlade HeadSlick then shaving with a HeadBlade against the grain with an Atra double blade cartridge. Then rinsing with cold water and using and ice cube rub then aloe vera.

2. I shave every single day in the morning during my shower.

3. My head will feel stubbily long before it looks stubbily. But it usually takes about 8 hours.
Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.

Jimmy it depends on how dark your hair is.  No matter how close of a shave you get, there will always be a shadow where your hair was, unless you are greying or you have very light hair.  But the closer the shave you get, the less noticeable the shadow becomes.
Some guys have chosen to do lazering or the plucking method to remove any signs of their shadow.

This is very true.  Check the head shaving section, specifically the post on routines, as this will help you get some good advice.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I wonder if using some sort of light base on the scalp would hide shadow.
Not that I personally care all that much rnow eally, but I remember thinking of ways to hide shadow the first few days I started shaving.
Remember to never take my advice seriously (unless I'm being serious) and you'll do alright.
