I am still experimenting with different products for me to us after the head i'm trying an after shave and baby oil gel combo to see if that works love the shine on my dome btw. what combo of products do you use?
-
Headslick, witch hazel then nivea after shave balm. I dont like anything greasy
-
If you like shine the cold water rinse/ice cube rub leaves your dome shiny as bro!
Personally I use witch hazel after followed up by Geo F Trumper skin food. The stuff is great, non greasy, mosturises and smells great!
Will definitely be ordering more when the sample runs out!
Other than that I used to use Nivea mousturiser with SPF 15
-
Nivea Extreme After Shave Balm..... great product, inexpensive and not greasy. Very little scent so it doesn't clash with the smell of your cologne.
-
Lately, for me, ice cubes and witch hazel have been enough..but when I do use aftershave, I use Gillette After Shave for sensitive skin (sold at Wally World and Walgreen's)
-
I have used the baby oil for shaving. The razor glides well but it leaves a far too greasy feeling, at least for me.
I rinse with cold water, apply witch hazel and an Aloe Vera Gel or a Moisturizer with SPF
-
This is gonna sound weird, but I put a shaving cream mix I made on while I'm in the shower (head slick, KOS alpha gel, olive oil, witch hazel, dettol antiseptic, and a bit of water), then get out and put head slick on top (most of the first is absorbed) then shave, apply witch hazel, then neutrogena sensitive facial moisturiser to the shaved dome.

Sounds like an awesome concoction!

It does sound very exotic not sure aboutice cubes at the moment but hey ho warmer weather is approaching the UK might change my mind
-
Plain old Vaseline works best for me. Don't trust anything else not to DRY out my scalp.
-
First, I shave my scalp and face with headslick, then I wash/rinse, and dry my scalp, third, I use Nivea For Men Cool Kick Arctic Freeze 2 in 1 (after shave & gel moisturizer) or Headlube Matte.
In a hurry day maybe forget the after shave / lube step.
-
A small amount of Dr. Bronner's patchouli-lime lotion. Keeps the dome feelin soft and smooth, and never feels too greasy. Smells pretty good, too (wife-approved).
I've been meaning to try the cold water/ice cube trick for a shine, though. Gotta remember that tomorrow morning.
-
Either Nivea Extreme Comfort after shave balm or something from McEvoy Ranch in California that's a combination of olive oil, beeswax blood orange extract. Sometimes I use both for a little bit of an extra shine.
-
I use an alcohol free aftershave and when that soaks in (about 10 minutes later) I use Vaseline Men's lotion. I don't get burn, bumps but it is a tad shiny, which I like.

Thanks brother. I will.

My routine is fairly new but I've been happy with it so far. I'm a big believer in the importance of sunblock, but I hate the greasy feeling of it. So I've been using a daily face moisturizer with SPF 20 - Neutrogena triple protect face lotion for men. Goes on very easy and use it on my face and dome.

Will definitely have to try that. Sounds pretty good.

SPF20 is definetely not enough for me, at least now in summer. Temperature was just under 100 today and the sun was unforgiving...they say it's getting worse towards the weekend, well over 100
I use at least an SPF50. I was at the beach yesterday and I applied it every 15-20 minutes and always after getting out of the water...although I spent most of the day in the water
