first time shaving head!!!

[mouse404]

hey everyone, new to the forum here, hope u guys can give me some advice. im 19, soon to be 20 and yes already a recieding hairline...oh well.........bald head > recieding hairline right?

anyways, ive been reading and watching videos of shaving head tips etc... and ive have come to a decision of using

panasonic linear wet/dry
headblade
total shaving solution
bump patrol

is there anything wrong with what im using or do u have any suggestions?

i plan to shave it with the panasonic and then go over with the headblade against the grain in the fron and sides but not in the back.

i also am half black half white so im kinda nervous bout the ingrown hairs and bumps considering black guys get those alot.

thanx for advice

50 views and no answer?

sorry to sound rude, just doesnt make sense to me.

Hey Mouse, welcome.  That sounds just about like my shave routine.  I use a Panasonic Linear in the shower.  Shave wet with King of Shaves Kinexium Oil and KoS Magnagel.  Then I follow up with my Gillette Fusion against the grain.

Can't get much smoother than that.  Post up a pic when you've done the deed.

welcome mouse.
One thing to keep in mind is very few people if any have tried what you plan to use.
Most people use either the headblade on its own, Mach 3 on its own, Fusion on its own, or fusion and some electric one.   
Have you checked the head shaving section?  If not then why haven't you?  We have posted our shaving routine so your question(s) could have been answered there, no??  You can look at how each of us shaves and make your own combination from that. 
Lastly, the 50 views doesn't mean anything.  Most of the views come from "guests" who do not have accounts, and therefore they cannot even give you a reply.   That's why it doesn't make sense.
If you don't get a response it's either because (1) your question can be answered by reading this website more carefully (i.e. checking head shaving section,etc.)  or (2) too many guests have viewed your post and not enough members.

thanx simplyred and sbg mathguy.

i will post pics up sometime next week. i will first do it with just the headblade since i dont have the panasonic yet.

also...any good products for tanning your head? im pretty tan but im sure my head isnt nearly as close as it needs to be to match the rest of my skin color.

Welcome to the forum Mouse!

Get yourself a good shaving cream/lotion. Many guys here use HeadSlick or BaldGuyz Shave Gel.
Initially you may NOT wnat to shave against the grain..... give your head a week or two to get used to shaving before you subject it to that.

Jergens makes a product for slow tanning of the skin.

And, please have a little patience looking for responses. SBG Math guy makes a great point that many of those views may have been guests. Plus...It's a Holiday for many so a lot of the regular contributors may not even be on line.

mouse I am sure you have many other questions.  The fastest way to get the answers to your questions is to use the search box.  You will be surprised because we have answered almost everything in the past.

hey mouse! welcome!

to help combat any irritation...i always hop in the shower, use fairly hot water on my head. wash my head. use conditioner to soften up the hairs. then hop out. throw on some king of shaves anti bacterial gel. shave. hop back in the shower and wash my head. cold water rinse followed by an ice cube rub. dry off. aftershave and then moisturizer.

sounds intense...but i can do the whole think in 20 minutes, including showering.

A big Scottish welcome. Think my brothers have got this one covered

welcome. definitely check out the head shaving section. there are lots of helpful hints and tips there.

[Kratos]

Looking at everyone's head shave routine will definitely help you out. 

[mouse404]

thanks for all the feedback guys.

but yes i had already searched, my main question was if what i was using is a good combination?   for example, im going to use the total shaving solution but since im using a headblade would it better to use headslick, etc...

[DCdome]

Hey Mouse,

Welcome, man.  Glad you're on board.

I use Mac 3 and headslick so I can't really comment on your questions.  You might find that certain "details," e.g. shaving around the ears will be difficult at first using the headblade and so you'll need to use something else for touch-ups. 

Some trial and error learning is part of the fun.

But if you browse in the "shaving routine" thread, you'll get lots of solid info.

Welcome to the site!  If your going to use the headblade, a good shaving cream or gel is a must have.

[Kratos]

Overall you will find yourself experimenting with multiple products. Different gels, creams, razors, aftershave etc. I personally like the gillette fusion with Head Slick. Using the head blade might be difficult if you're very new to shaving. But hey, give it a shot! Sounds like you have the right idea so far
