Alright guys, been looking for something to use that is like shampoo but without all the chemicals and will still leave my head smooth and not dry it out. Dont really now if theres anything out there or not (at least in my local stores).
Thanks in advance guys

Hey budd, both HeadBlade and Bald Guyz make a wash specifically for the scalp. I haven't tried them yet, but guys here that did have given them a decent rating.
I use my regular face soap and it works just fine.

I don't know what you use to shampoo your beard, but I use the same stuff on my scalp that I use on my beard--at the same time, including the conditioner--to soften the stubble up for the daily scraping of the grape. I use Mane n' Tail products since they have proven to keep the beard as soft as possible. Does a fine job.

I always wash my face and dome with some liquid soap or shower gel.

I was never one for fancy grooming products but since trying it I now swear by Checks and Balances by Origins. It's described as a "foamy face wash" great for the smooth head too. I slather it on in the shower after shaving because it's also great for shaving any missed spots as well.

I recently started using Zest 2 in 1 hair and body wash, not only to wash but shave with as well. It leaves my head baby butt soft.

I like HeadWash. O0

BigBudd,
I have used both "HeadWash" by HeadBlade and Bald Guyz "Daily Wash And Shampoo" and they both work great, however I prefer BaldGuyz because I have prety sensative skin and it does not irritat me at all! It also has a great scent, I also recomend that if you do try the BaldGuyz "Daily Wash And Shampoo" that you also try their other products as well in a complete shave routine. I found that by combining all of their products together in a routine that in a rather short period of time that my head never looked better!

Also, check out Citizen Smooth. It's on sale right now for 50% off.

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub daily on the face and skull. It really clears the way for a great shave by removing any dead skin cell and embedded grime and dirt.
I have naturally oily skin so I can get away with using it daily. If you skin is really sensitive or drys out easily you might not be able to use it daily. I have also used hair conditioner to soften up the stubble and have even used hair conditioner as a shaving cream substitute. It is uber slick and works really well.
-
I use Bald Guyz to shave and then just cold water and I have been getting a great shine - - Later in the day before going out at night I just cold water my dome - -feels great and I get the shine back - - -Sometimes I shave again - - -

Sometimes I use the St Ives apricot scrub, but recently I've been using the wive's "Caress Tahitian Renewal". It uses pomegranate seeds to exfoliate, which are a little more gentle than the ground almond bits that St Ives uses. Also, it smells great. Doesn't have salicylic acid like St Ives though..

Just soap and water works for me.

Old Spice Hair & Body Wash. (lightly scented)
Excellent Pre-Save Prep.

In addition to using OSHBW as an aid to a great PRE-SHAVE, try mixing in a dab with your favorite shave gel/cream!!
Wanna add a bit more (ahem) spice to that "special time" of the morning you can call your own? (**!
For those of you who may use one of the popular shaving oils on the market (Shave Secret or King of Shaves), mix a few drops of the oil into the OSHBW and apply!! Then shave using your favorite blade!! O0
Leaves your scalp super smooth with a great non-greasy shine that'll last all day!!
It leaves you with a remarkably fresh, deep-down type of clean that is beyond description. Sounds strange, I admit - but it's the type of "clean" that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
If you find during the day that you need a quick fix, just massage your head with a little cold water, pat dry and you'll be fresh as a daisy once again!!
Product can be purchased virtually anywhere: CVS, Wally-Mart, Your Favorite Grocery, $$ Stores, etc...
