What’s up guys. I haven’t been on in ages. Maybe you guys can help me out. So I’ve been buzzing my head with the lowest clip on a andis clipper-0000 clip-for a very long time, and only shaved my head with a razor occasionally. I started shaving my head a lot more last year with a muhl R89 double edge razor with personna blades. Unfortunately, I got in a accident and burned my body severely. Part of my scalp got burned and is now scarred. No hair will grow on certain spots. I’ve always rocked a bald head since high school, so I have no problem being bald at all. I shave my head every 6 days or so since I came home from the hospital. I go for 2 passes-BBS-one with the grain, and second against the grain. I rarely have any problems after shaving. I’m currently in a healing process from the burns, so I have no reason to shave everyday. I recently started shaving my head every 2 days just to see if it’s something I could do, and my head gets really oily and irritated. I always take a hot shower before a wet shave, I use pre shave oil, change the blades every 2 shaves, and use after shave balms. I get irritation/razor burns when I shave every 2-3 days. It also doesn’t look as fresh compared to shaving every 6 days or so. I would like to shave my head everyday when I go back to work. It just doesn’t look right. I might be exaggerating, but the dots/hair look more bigger if that makes any sense.  What are some other tips you guys can give me? I just need to prepare myself before going back to work. Thanks you for reading, and help is appreciated.

@jkid714 What are you using as your shave routine?  You said pre-shave oil. Are you using cream or oil on top of that?  What after shave balm are you using?

Hi jkid, when I first started shaving, I got alot of irritation. I used Bump Patrol for the first couple months. You can get it at Wal-Mart. I shave everyday and it took a couple months for my scalp to get used to it. Now I just use Irish Spring bar soap in the shower and dad make multiple passes with no problems. I do a cold water rinse and an application of witch hazel. I only use lotion if I get a little dryness.

It's all about conditioning the scalp. You just have to be patient.

I try to shave my head every day or at least every other day. But I was suffering from razor burn to, especially on the back of the neck area (I normally use a headblade in the shower with a good soap or cream). One product I found that has really made a difference for me as been Barbedeaux aftershave lotion - I think they call it their razor bump therapy. It has tremendously helped keep my head clean and clear of razor burn and outbreaks. Might work for you as well.

Clean head also a smart and good-looking hairstyle. My uncle clean head and he is shocked, by looking smart and beautiful. Head is so clean, clear and shining.
