That sounds pretty good so far. Smart move on the cold water rinse, that's a must for me. I usually soak it in freezing cold water, to the point where I can barely tolerate it, it feels great and helps with the shine. Also to answer your previous question, I'd recommend using a bowl to mix the lather. It comes out in a much richer, creamier form, and is less messy.

Looks like a good routine, bro. Go with it, but be open to experimenting in the future.

so how is this for a routine with the headblade(first time).
1. shower
2. wet head (hot water)
3. apply headshed.
4. rinse head (hot water)
5. lather up with headslick with a little of total shaving solution mixed
6. lather head and shaved front of forehead to back with headblade sport.
7. cold water rinse
8. air dry
9. apply wich hazel
10. wait 15 minutes, apply bump stopper 2
11. wait 15 minutes, apply head matte
lol any suggestions?
I shave from the bottom back of my neck up to the crown on the back, then I travel the sport sideways from left to right on the back of my head, then from front of head to crown on back where I stopped, then I go from my side burns on each side due north and stop around the middle of my dome.
This gives me the best shave that I have found due to how the hair grows in.
Oh, actually before all that I use the mach 3 around my ears.
About 3 times a week I follow up with St Ives apricot scrub and then cold water rinse.
I don't have issues with bumps so I just slap on some bald guyz moisture gel and head to the office.
If I am going to be outside I use the Matte for men after for the sun protection.
You may want to experiment with the moisture gel sometime, I love that stuff now.
Nothing wrong with your routine though, you have to see what works best for you

I just mix it in my hands, no brush. But, I'm sure a brush would work better.

Never had bumps with Headslick, I always take a shower first, and leave my head wet, lather it up with headslick and bam!
