Congratulations! Looks good. It won't look much different when you razor shave, but you won't believe how awesome a smooth head feels.

With my white hair, it takes a few days growth to see anything, but I shave daily to get that completely smooth feel. Nothing feels cleaner than a silky smooth head. I finish with a cold water rinse and apply  for a great shine.

So im having issue getting completely smooth any tips I have bee bald and gilette sensitive, a safety razor, mach 3 razor and a rotary..still feels velcro against the grain

You better wait a day or so to shave again, you don't want to get razor burn!!

It's probably just your process or technique. Everyone is different. Try different razors. Make sure you run alot of hot water on your head in the shower first. Look around on this site, there is a huge amount of info about shaving techniques. of

Most important, don't get discouraged! Part of the fun is finding your shaving routine. Eventually you will get it smooth as a babies .
Bald by choice, and loving it!

Agree, give your scalp a break to recover.  I use a generic 5 blade similar to the Gillette Fusion, and shave against the grain.  I still have a couple of trouble spots that I rarely get completely smooth.  It take some time and practice to "learn" your head and get the best shave.  Try washing your scalp with an exfoliating scrub before shaving, that helps as well.

Consider adding some facial hair if you can grow it.  It pairs well with a shaved head.

The only time this month itll prob grow just a little is when im going to go to the barber for a professional shave again. I seriously love it and can't wait till I can get technique down enough to get it totally smooth. I don't know why I waited so long to be BBC. Everyone loves it except a few folks and it gives me incentive to stay in shape.

Im also going long term to full time bald in august when I start vet school so my bald brother classmate isnt the only not 20 something who is bald as hell.
