Hey everyone I'm wondering if there is a way to keep your head smoother for a longer period of time instead of me having to shave every day? Please let me know if you know any ways to keep your head smoother.
-
looks good from the back!
-
thanks I would post a pic from the front but I rather keep my true identity a secret but do you have any advice on keeping your head smoother for a longer period of time or maybe permanent for the future by chance

My approach is to shave daily ... it's an important and calming few moments to begin my day. Wouldn't want to have a reason to avoid it.

Unfortunately, hair continues to grow and that's just the way it is. A good close shave will give you a smooth scalp for a number of hours, but hair is relentless. Daily shaving is about the only choice you have.
-
If you want it smooth you have to shave every day. In my case the smooth dome can last maybe 10 hours in winter when it's cold, 6 to 8 hours in summer with the heat and sweating.
I have shaved in the evenings a few times and I stay baby butt smooth until well into the next morning, maybe 12-14hours. Once you get up and start your daily routine the stubble won't take long to appear

A fresh, sharp razor blade shave lasts longer than day 4 on the Same razor blade. The shape, the shorter the cut.
After a few weeks practice you'll be down to about 5 minutes for a normal shave.a nice paper for yourself in the morning.
And a great(lack of) hair style!

Ok thanks to all who replied

Have you tried the ice cube rub after a bbs head shave? Just an idea...

If you want to keep your identity a secret you could always wear shades......I personally get a smoother long lasting shave when I apply shaving cream with a shaving brush....Down the road if you stay bald long term, you could invest in a DE razor aka a Paw-Paw razor...

It's just grabbing ice cubes or chunks and rubbing it over your head for about 20 seconds(or until you get brainfreeze). It cools down the scalp from irritation and seals up the pores. Which also stretches the skin slightly and makes it shine more.
-
You will also get a smoother, longer lasting shave if you exercise before you shave.

Is that from pores opening up from the sweat?
-
I think so. Several guys have noticed the same thing.

do you also know how much longer your head will stay smooth if you do that

Well, It's a post-shave thing, and I'm new to this too, but while it does make it feel smoother, I don't think it changes the duration of the smoothness.

Oh ok I well I am diffidently going to have to try it and see if it works and hope it last longer than 6 to 8 hours I think its that much time before I start to get stubble on my head but it will be something to look into thanks again
-
The only way I know is shaving it every day. Being BBC the stubble is plentiful after about 6 hours. I do find a fresh blade is key even if you have to change it earlier than once a week. The pic looks great. Keep up the look and enjoy the daily shave.
-
I will I actually just shaved today and it was a pain to do because the last time I shaved was Tuesday morning. Thanks for the help and thanks for the comment on my head
-
Only way to stay smooth in my experience is to get as close of a shave as possible. The overall duration of a smooth shave depends on how fast your hair grows.
