The active ingredient in TendSkin is aspirin, so if you are allergic to aspirin, watch out!

I think the story about TendSkin is on their website, but it's effectiveness on ingrown hairs was discovered by accident.

Got tired of the my blades and her blades so I did settle for her blades which are Gillette and are called Venus Vibrance as they also fit my Gillette Mach 3 vibrating razor handle.  They are also made for sensitive skin which of course works best for her.

I have been using Gillette foam for sensitive skin.  I start out by shaving back, then again forward after all the back stuff is done.  After the forward is done then I go side to side until my head is smooth... no nubs that I can detect period.

This is the morning shave....

After a day in the heat, when I come home to shower, I repeat the same process as above.  To some it may seem vain, but its like sporting a 5 0clock shadow at the end of the day.  If I can feel nubs after being out all day, I got to shave, I just like feeling nothing but skin and to see shine after.

1.  wake up and roll out of bed

2.  shave face 1st using my gillette fusion (manual) + dove unscented moisturizing soap

3.  after shaving... i ask wifey 2 shave my dome

4.  she gets a warm hot wash cloth and let it sit on my dome 4 several minutes

5.  lathers my dome with the dove soap (she prefers the dove soap versus the KOS alphagel & fusion gel)

6.  wifey gets my trusty fusion & shaves  back of head (against the grain)
 
7.  then top of head ..... then sides (all against the grain)

8.  give wife a kiss & thank her 4 a gr8 shave

9.  cold water rinse then follow up with a good ice cube rub

10.  wait 5-7 minutes then apply gillette aftershave lotion

11.  wait 5-7 minutes then apply sunscreen

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Some body spoke and I went into a dream
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My routine will very depending on shift I am on at work but when I have proper time.

1.In hot shower prescrub of St.Ives apricot scrub on dome.

2.KOS sensitive over head and shave against the grain with HB classic until no more nubs felt.

3.At sink reapply KOS gel and shave as per same in shower only with Fusion razor and get last little rough spots.

4.ICE COLD water splash. Splash of witch hazel. Let dry and apply either Headlube Glossy(ordered tube off internet and have since run out)Now using Biotrix Almond Oil for a great shine.



Warhawk you are a lucky man! :) I wish my wife would shave my head bro. No matter how much I bug her about it she still has denied me the pleasure.


Shine on  my Sly brothers.

1. Shave mug with shaving gel and Fusion Power at the sink.

2. Jump in shower with rasor.

3. Get head wet.

4. Shave melon.

5. Clean rest of body.

6. Get out.

I never used any product... Maybe I should?

I usually shave in the pm every second day. Routine is simple. Apply shaving gel, shave against grain with Schick Extreme III, dry head and use fingers in a circular pattern to feel for stubble, dry shave off any remaining stubble. That's it. Sometimes I apply some aftershave, but mostly just go au natural

Amen to that. I spend about 15 minutes shaving my head and my face. It comes out smooth so I am pleased. Believe me, if I can figure out a way to cut that 15 min down to 10 min, I will be all over it  ;D. I love the look and feel of my smooth head, not necessarily the act of shaving it. Know what I mean?

Absolutley,

The feel of a shaved dome is what makes it all worth it.

One thing found that makes shaving quicker is to do it in the shower.

I've cut my shaving time from 15-20 mins at sink only down to 10 mins in shower and maybe a 1-2 minute touch up reapply to get the rough spots at the sink.

WARHAWK!  You dont know how to shave  your dome?  OK I have heard it all.  That is just plain being lazy.  Even though it would be nice to feel a womans hands on the dome first thing in the morning straight from the shower and not have to dream about her actually doing....(slap slap wake up Tim!)...anyways....Bro.....You're a grown man ...its not that hard LOL  I saw we all go down to Florida and kidnap Warhawk and put him on a desserted island somewhere.  maybe we can send him off onto survivor?  That would be cool... lol
See ya buddy,

;D ;D ;D.  hey timmy!!! wazzup, brah!  yeah.... if u guys put me in a deserted island than i would definitely have NO choice but 2 shave my own dome.  however.... like i said... until wifey goes out of town 2 visit her family or she gets very sick she luvs 2 shave my dome.  hey.... why deny her the pleasure, right? :D  if that times comes when i shave my own dome i will definitely post up.  when that times comes.... i'll probably shave in the shower.  from reading the posts of most of the sly brahs... shower shaving seems better.  hey whatever it takes 2 keep it sly!

Lots of good information here, My routine:

I shave in the shower, hot water is a must.

Wash face and head with Neutrogena Skin clearing face wash

I then gently rub a small fingernail brush over the scalp and face to lift any ingrown hairs. I often have problems with ingrown hairs. ( lol don't laugh it works for me)

Lather face and scalp with Edge Advanced Sensitive Skin

Gillette Sensor3 Disposable razors,  I shave with the grain, rinse with cold water.

Magic Moisturizing After Shave Lotion. 

Alcohol is a must afterwards, I get razor bumps if I don't. (I may need to find an alternative)


I'm going to try that Gillette Fusion Manual, thanks for the tips all.
