Title: New User / Question
Post by: rzciii on July 11, 2011, 07:06:01 PM

Shaved my head yesterday (bald by choice, I have very thick hair). I notice a lot of you guys recommend the headblade and their line of products - I'm happy with my razor, but not so much my shaving cream and other products. Can anybody recommend good products that I can find in a store like wal-mart or a walgreens for now? Also, I have a bit of a mole thats bumpy on my head - should I go around it or just finish lopping it off?

Headblade sells their Headslick at Walgreens here, a lot of guys really enjoy it, me included.

I like and recommend the HeadBlade line of products (HeadWash, HeadShed, HeadSlick), but they aren't available at all Walgreen's or CVS locations - at least not where I live.

Where I live, Phoenix AZ, you can find the Headblade and headslick in the Walgreens but not the lube or scrub. For that I go to Amazon. I shave with a Schick Hydro 5 and headslick and headlube. I also love the bald guys Line of products.

Welcome to the forum rzc. I would also suggest Walgreen's or CVS for the HeadBlade. Depending on where you live you may also check RiteAid or May's.
I think you'll see a big difference in ease of shaving once you try HeadSlick, it really is one of the best creams. Bald Guyz Clear shave gel is also one of the tops.
If you do choose to use the HeadBlade, be sure to follow the instructions and go slow. Once you get it down it's one of the best tools for shaving the dome. Let us know how it goes, and enjoy the shave.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Definitely like it so far (my mother, not so much) - its in the high 90's / low 100's here in Georgia. I just need to tan it a bit, I'm more pale than my red-headed wife.

Welcome aboard!  Edge soothing aloe shave gel works great with my Fusion razor.  Give it a try!

Welcome.  I am on board with the other members, Headslick or Bald Guyz gel is great.  I personally prefer the Mach 3 as it gives a good close shave.   The Fusion is great as well

Welcome!

HeadSlick can be had at WalGreen's but other HB products are not so easy to find locally.

I'm not sure if this discount code is still valid but if it is it will save you 20% if you order from their website.(look at the first entry by Tyler):

As for the mole I would leave that for the dermatologist.

As for the shaving cream you can get Head Slick at Walgreen's. I might also recommend stopping by Wal Mart and picking up a little bottle of Shave Secret shaving oil. Put a few drops on your wet dome and rub it in good before you apply the Head Slick. Great friction reducer.

I've also got a pretty large mole on the top of my head, had it ever since I can remember... Anyways, just go slow when you get to that area and don't force the blade if it doesn't want to go over.  Try coming at it in different angles and you'll get the hair in that section shaved off after a couple passes.  I've chopped the top of the mole off a couple of times, doesn't hurt at all theres essentially no feeling in it. However, you'll know when you hit it... they bleed like like nobody's business!

Bottom line, just take it slow and don't put to much pressure especially if you're using a headblade.  It's not a matter of if you'll nick... just a matter of when.

Welcome to SBG.

I also recommend head slick shaving cream. You might want to use a little water with it so it isn't so dry. I also use a few drops of shavers secret which helps for a smoother shave. You can find shavers secret at Walmart. It comes in a small bottle. You only need a few drops at a time. It really helps for a smoother shave.

I like the Headblade products too. Sometimes I use a Gillette Shaving gel.
I always add some baby oil or virgin olive oil, even shaved with olive oil alone, it's worth a try.
When I shave after the shower I put some baby oil on in the shower, rub it in, an before it gets dry I add the Headslick or the Shaving Gel.
I buy everything online, mostly Ebay. I like to have it shipped home.
