I'm a fan of the loofah sponge pad, not the sponge itself. They're available at Wal-Mart for about $2-3. After shampooing up the face fuzz and putting some on my stubble, I add a small amount of shampoo on the pad and give the scalp a nice rub--feels great, price is right. ;)

You can't go wrong with that, I've been using the Body shop tea tree oil scrub and it works well, the other one alot of people like is headscrub.
-
I buy the CVS brand Apricot Scrub....... It's just as good as the St. Ives and it can be had for half the price.

Gillette scrub for me 8)

I use St Ives facial exfoliant (actually my grocery store's cheap knock-off of it, same exact quality). Works great on face and dome.

How's that coming along :D

I started using the St. Ives Apricot Scrub about 2 weeks ago after hearing about it in other discussions and have had nothing but great results using it! I'm going to switch to the Walgreens or CVS brand once the current supply runs out.
-
I'm using the St. Ives apricot scrub for my face, currently (few more days before I go sly) but I love that stuff.
-
Hey Dudes, thought I'd revive this thread.
After so many glowing (pardon the expression) recommendations, I tried St. Ives, but I should have read the label. I'm allergic to walnuts and walnut are the abrasive ingredient in St. Ives. DOH! Bump central on the dome.
So I need other suggestions for an exfoliant, good for oily skin, that won't send me running for the Zyrtec and Cortisone.
Anyone?
-
Try a loofah sponge pad, at Wal-Mart, less than $3. Then you can use any cleanser that your skin doesn't have a problem with. Go gentle at first, but it gives a great scrub and leaves the stubble ready for mowing.

What is Ming missing? A "scrub" for the head? Maybe the "Imperial Dome" is something special, but Ming finds that a shower and shave leaves the scalp just fine for whatever time passes before the next S&S. A touch of Headblade "Glossy" when splendorshine is needed--the only addition Ming deems necessary to his majesty.
So, tell Ming, SBG's, "What's the point of a scrub?"

I've been using Gillette Fusion ProSeries Thermal Face Scrub only when necessary. No walnuts as far as I can tell.

Scrub is good if you have excess flaking other than that I don't use it.

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I've noticed lately that my wife now uses it too. We need to start stocking up I guess.

Gillette has a pre-shave scrub it warms the pores and fells great. check the list and be safe.

Bald Guyz Pre-Shave Scrub is back. Natural silica and fruit enzymes gently exfoliate the skin of the head and face preparing you for that amazingly close shave. We DO NOT use walnut shells, apricot pits or anything that "scratches" the skin. In addition to removing the dead skin cells our scrub softens the stubble for a closer shave. While there are other scrubs, we believe that you will find Bald Guyz to be one of the best. Remember a little bit goes a long way!
Here is a special offer for SBG members, use coupon code SCRUB 11 and we will give you a $5.00 discount when buying our Pre-Shave Scrub. Remember it's all about the right ingredients that come together to provide the best care for the sensitive skin of the head.

I've recently been using 'The real Shaving Co' daily facial scrub. Its really good, and has a nice smell into the bargain. Its quite 'rough' - more gritty than Gillette, which i also use from time to time, but it seems to really suit my skin. (I have real sensitive skin!).
The bonus is that it's only £1.00 to buy in 'Poundland' stores. Don't know if its available in US though. 8)

I use the St. Ives Apricot Scrub, its pretty cheap (only like $2.79) and it seems to do the trick. Just make sure you wash it all out though.

I think I may just follow you around Rob! :*)) That is a great suggestion and never thought of looking there!
I would also like to bring up again though that I don't know what the point of scrub is... Anyone? Does it help with a closer shave? Should you use it every day? I am learning more and more from this site, but it's interesting that my brother gets a really nice close shave, no irritation and no nicks and he uses a 2p disposable razor, and has been using it for MONTHS, and uses NO other products. No scrub, no after shave balm or moisturiser, no sun protection on a daily basis, no shaving foam, etc etc etc... Nothing!
Is it just that my head isn't used to being shaved yet, and it will eventually 'toughen up'?
-
the scrub helps remove dead skin layers and to soften the skin and hairs and prep it for a shave.
the point to after shave balms is to closes the pores and clean them out.
the point to sun screen the title says it all.
when to use is determined by your own skin.

Before I jump into the shower, I use Dove for men face wash on my dome. (Hey it's skin might as well) then I jump in shave and just pour some cold water over my scalp. Keeps it nice and smooth and keeps my scalp from drying out too much.

Is she bald too!!! lol
Anyway, why use a scrub guys? What does it do? Ta

Ah! I'm going to have to try that. A sly customer of mine recommended African Black Soap also... I am trying to keep the amount of chemicals I dump on my dome to a minimum ;)
-
I'm with skram - HeadShed is fabulous! I only use it once or twice a week, but it does make it feel like I get a closer shave after using it. It's supposed to make the hair stand up more, so that could be why. I tried it from a sample size first (2 oz.), and then bought the full size bottle. Great stuff!
-
goatee, the scrub gets rid of dead skin, helps vstop ingrown hairs and helps prepare the skin for a great shave. thev best one to use in the uk is st ives apricot scrub either the invigarating or the blemish free. O0

Can someone reccomend a good srub for the scalp?thank you
Ive only been sly for a few days now myself. But I swear by Cetaphil. The stuffs fantastic.
followed by a basic hypoallergenic jergins lotion (the non-greasy stuff, i dont want to blind traffic with a mirror finish)
If on the chance you look into it, get the "skin cleanser" and not the "face cleanser" version.
edit: theres an oily skin version of Cetaphil if required, but i dont use it and cannot comment.
