I use Gillette Mach 3 Turbo. I was using the Atra with the HeadBlade Sport, but it doesn't seem to get as close of a shave.I've only been shaving my head for a week. Could it just be my scalp reacting to the new regime?
My solution for those small bumps was (1) an antibacterial acne soap, two or three times a day--I use Cuticura;
My solution for those small bumps was (1) an antibacterial acne soap, two or three times a day--I use Cuticura; (2) using a loofa pad--available at WalMart about $2.50--in the shower every morning, gentle at first and more vigorous as your scalp tolerates it, (3) an astringent all over after drying off after shaving--I use hydrogen peroxide on a cotton pad, (4) a 10% benzoyl peroxide gel w/o any oil rubbed on before my (5) Nivea Extreme Shave Balm. Smooth clear clean. It should take a week or two to completely clear it up. Keeping it clean is essential, and it's easy because there's no hair of course. Remember, there's no hair to take in all the soot, dirt and other stuff that we used to shampoo out of the hair. Feels good, especially refreshing to wash the dome a couple of times a day if possible, but w/o fail before going to bed.Works for me and I've had acne issues since puberty--WHY can't I just grow up???

Hi SaintInteresting routine! Just a few questions on it. 1. Do you find excessive use of the anti-b soap causes any reactions like dryness/pimples?2. When exfoliating with the loofa, would you use a scrub like St Ives with it? I thought maybe the loofa would exacerbate existing pimple or does the head adapt over time. 3. Do you apply the astringent (I have witch hazel instead of hydrogen peroxide), let dry; then apply benzoyl peroxide, let dry; then finally moisturise.4. I am going to start shaving every second day from now on. Do you shave everyday and is that needed in your routine for a successful shave?That's it.Thanks
