After many years of reading the various head shaving methods from all of you, I've decided to add your wisdom to my experience and create a How To Get The Best Headshave video.  Here it is:

I really dig how you open it by saying that a lot of people will use a standard disposable and cheap foam/cream.  I have found a lot of people who feel they need a super fancy set up with a bunch of expensive gear to get started and that is not the case.  Obviously the headblade models are awesome and DEs are where it's at but to someone considering trying the 30 day rule... They already have what they need and don't even know it.

Good job Tyler

Thank you. Some guys are satisfied with their shave when using a disposable blade and foaming shave cream.

Cool video and perfectly on point!

I was one of the lucky ones.  It didn't take me long to get started and settled in on how I liked to shave my head.  My method is still working great for me and to this day I have never cut myself shaving once.

Great advice on the video!

I'm a stand in front of the sink shaver, hehehe.

1.  Soak my head with very warm water.
2.  Apply Edge Soothing Aloe Gel all over my head.
3.  Take my Bic Flex4 razor and shave my head from front to back starting on the side, then top, then the opposite side.
4.  Shave the back of my head again from back to front.
5.  Rinse head with lukewarm water.  I used to use cold water, but I find warm to work just as well for me.
6.  Pat head dry with a towel.
7.  Apply 100% Aloe Vera Gel on my dome.  Smile in the mirror and get ready to take over the world.  HA! ;)
