aside from tweezing and laser surgery, there is Nair and other creams/similar products....
but b4 we go there, does anyone have any tips on how to get a closer shave?
I see that it's time to once again post this link that shows what can happen if you put Nair on your head. Scroll down the page a bit.

fine, RazorX I will heed your advice for now, I once Naired my arms and chest, a similar skin reaction occurred ... but I am very curious about this method...
but back to my question... does anyone have any tips for a closer shave.
No one has mentioned FIRE?

Headslick and the Mach III against the grain has worked very well for me. Sometimes if there are stubborn spots, going over them with an electric razor after you've shaved with the blade can get the problem areas smoother without the risk of really irritating the skin too much. -

For a closer shave, consider shaving twice, once w/ the regular shave gel/creme or whatever, and a second shave where you spray some rubbing alcohol on after lathering--it's an idea I got from Warhawk. The lather disappears leaving a thickened liquid on the scalp. Shave again, against the grain, rinse and ice cube. I've been getting particularly close shaves this way. Also remember, when possible, wait for about an hour after getting up in the morning to shave--it makes a big difference in the closeness and duration of any shave.
