Hey SLYinKC,

When I first started shaving my head I would shave at night and When i woke up I already had some stubble, but as I shave my head more, the stubble isnt as bad. I'm currently using schick xtreme 3 disposable razors

Ok so after about two weeks of shaving the dome I've got a pretty good routine i think. Finally took care of the razor bumps with it too!!! I should say I choose to shave at night too because I can't stand sleeping with any stubble.

Wet head > St Ive's Apricot Srcub > Rinse off in shower > Apply Gillette Fusion Shave Gel > Shave in Shower > Rinse with Cold Water Immediately After > Apply Gillette Shave Lotion.

In the morning I will put on Headlube Glossy for work.

1) Brush teeth while hot water gets hot.

2) Wet facecloth (with hot water) and place on my grape while I shave my face (Sensor 3/HB combo)

3) Shave head - for every day grooming, I shave with the grain. If I want to be smooth as possible, or am "dressing up" I then shave against the grain.

4) Take Shower - I take care of any spots I missed. I also use "Got 2b in your face" Pore Me Deep Scrub to exfoliate

5) Get out of shower & dry off

6) Use Aloe Vera gel on my face & head

7) get dressed

8) light dusting of baby powder since I have an oily head and do not like the gloss look

I shave after showing. Get my head nice and wet with warm water. Scrub with HeadShead. Rinse with warm water. Apply HeadSlick making sure my head is still nice and wet. Shave with HeadBlade Sport with and against the grain. Apply ClearHead. Apply HeadLube Matte.

I shave my head everyday. Love that fresh shaved scalp in the morning.

Yes. In fact there are kilts the represent every single branch of the United States Military Service. Each branch has the own design. That doesn't mean they are standard issue to all servicemen. There are bagpipes and drum bands for every branch of the US service. They wear them in parades and other special events. The kilt is very much associated as being a military garment.

During the world wars, the Black Watch Regiment of Scotland was regarded by the German Army as one of the most fierce fighting forces they had every encounted. They wore khaki kilts and carried bagpipes right out onto the battlefield to announce that they were attacking. The German Army called them "The Ladies From Hell."

Pipers from the United States Air Force. Also 1stSgt. Dwayne Farr USMC in Iraq playing taps on the bagpipes

Hey SLY guys, I have a question.  I tried the cold water splash after shaving and found that my stubble grows faster doing that.  Anybody else notice that??

Never noticed it...in fact seems to slow mine down.  But I do keep it under the cold running water of the shower for at least 30 seconds.

I'm with Paul in that it seems to slow my growth down as well.

Newest routine:

1. Get in the shower and soak my head under the water for about 30 seconds.
2. Headslick, first pass (against the grain).
3. Headslick, second pass (against).
4. Headslick, third pass to make sure I didn't miss anything.
5. Rinse and exfoliate with either Headshed or Apricot Scrub.
6. Shower
7. Cold water rinse.
8. Get out, Headlube.
9. Shave face - Fusion, Fusion shave gel, Fusion aftershave.

That's about it. I'm liking this routine a lot.. but it will more than likely change, it always does.
