Your Shave Routine
medicineman:
Lots of good info gentleman, keep it coming!
For me, the cold water rinse is essential. I rinse with cold water after I get out of the shower at the sink. Robmeister is right, it adds to the natural shine and, to me anyway, it feels good!
Haven't tried the HeadShed yet, it's on my list though. Have only heard good things about it.
BaldRob:
My routine is pretty much the same as everyone else...
Crank up the heat in the shower...
Stand under the water for a couple minutes while it builds up some serious steam...
HeadShead...
Lather up with HeadSlick, KOS Alpha Shaving Oil, or KOS Alpha Shaving Gel (KOS review coming soon)...
Fire up the Ol' HeadBlade Sport with Atra Plus Blades... letting the blades under the shower for about 30 seconds to warm them up...
Run the HB front to back, stopping just past the crown...
Do the whole front side...
Flip the HB the other direction and go against the grain, back to front...
After giving the self head rub to check for stubble, I fire up the Fusion Power...
Touch up around the ears and the waaaay back of the neck with the Fusion and then shave the face...
Flip the razor around for the single blade and keep the soul patch looking sharp!
Finish the shower and dry off... never towel rubbing the head though, just blot it dry!
Moisturize, when I remember, using HeadLube Matte or BaldGuyz Moisture gel...
Tom McGarry.:
I don't shave in the shower ither. 1) Wash my head and face, with hot soapy water.
2) Scrub head and face with Head Shed.
3) Heat up a damp towel in the microwave, and wrap it around face and
head for about 5 minutes.
4) Then lube up with Head Slick.
5) Shave my head with the HeadBlade S4 ( Yeh Baby )
6) Shave my face with my gillette fusion.
7) Feel around for any rough spots, and go over them ( if any )
8) Then I scrub my head and face again with Head Shed.
9) Then I jump into the shower.
10) After my shower I rub in the Clear Head on my head and face.
11) And finally finnish it off with Head Lube "Glossy"
Medic aka Rocko:
Here's a sink shave routine:
1. Fill sink with straight hot water, drop in Headblade & leave until ready to shave, dip washcloth & let sit on head until it cools. Repeat 2 or 3 times.
2. Do the Headshed. Rinse using the handheld shower thing.
3. Apply Headslick and shave against the grain.
4. Wet head with hand, feeling for stubble, then shave every which way with the Fusion.
5. Using the handheld shower thing, rinse with warm water to get the Headslick off, then rinse with cold water :D
6. Air dry and apply Headlube Gossy.
I'm going to try Cam's advice with the hydrocortisone cream though, my head seems to itch quite a bit throughout the day too.

Yeah, I've found that works better than anything else that I've tried. Sometimes I shave too fast and get a little bit of razor burn and the hyrdrocortisone takes care of that before it even starts to bother me.
