I am with most everyone else, I love the shine. When I first went sly I knew I wanted to be blinding with it.

Road to a Super Duper Shine
« Reply #18 on: January 08, 2009, 04:45:25 PM »
Came about a super duper shine method quite by accident.

In the experimental stage trying various methods / routines, to cleansing shaving, and shining.

One of these experiments was cleansing w/Nutritioniste Gel MicroBead Cleanser, (found at most grocery stores, Wal-Mart, CVS, etc) coupled with Bald Guys Shave Gel. Rub it in well.

Shave with a nice sharp blade. (My choice: Fusion)

Towel dry.

Results: b!n&

NOTE: HeadWash by HeadBlade (combined w/Bald Guyz Shave Gel) = same excellent results also.

Originally, I intended to use the HeadLube Glossy for my final step in this experiment, but before
I reached this step, I looked in the mirror, and WOW! (LOL- Afraid then that if I used the Headlube, my scalp would then be so smooth and sleek, that my scalp might just slide right off my skull onto the floor.  :o

After testing this experiment w/the gel cleanser and the shave gel (I was@ the firehouse at the time), I walked outside the firehouse and blinded three drivers coming down the road from the cranium glare. (LOL)

for me personally, I do not want shiny,just don't like it.
When I first shaved that's the look I wanted but now I prefer the matte.

But the shiny looks good on you guys though!!!!!! :D

Seems I read somewhere on this forum about someone recommending "KING OF SHAVES" brand shaving oil.
I remembered the post as I saw this item inside a local CVS. Very inexpensive , so I bought it and tried it out that night. You can add this to your current shaving gel/cream etc before you apply your gel to your scalp, as well as alone, as a fine lubricant additive to your shaving routine. (A few drops helps lubricate your scalp like crazy - i think you will be quite pleased)

Results: Helps deliver a great, extra close shave, and adds a little sheen to your noggin!!!

Added Bonus: It feels great to the touch, too!
