I've used it occasionally, but at this point, my dome is naturally glossy, so I don't notice any difference.

i actually like the shine it has on my head. i was wondering does it really protect your head.

I use the one without SPF 30.  It's a good moisturizer.

Headlube Glossy really works to make your dome shine :)

I went to Amazon.com to buy this. As happens, the price plus the shipping and handling was more than double the price of the product. Any suggestions as to stores where this may be purchased? Particularly the "big box" sort which might possibly be near me. Thanks!

RiteAids and Walgreens usually carry the razor, blades (triple), and lube.

Try clear aloe vera gel at Walmart.  Only about $5 and it makes the scalp shine like glass.

I'm in love with the 'lube, Glossy is the only way to go!  I do a cold rinse for my post shave and follow it up by working in some glossy 'lube.  It's got a bit of a minty scent to it and its so cool and refreshing after the cold rinse.

I haven't used HeadSlick for a few weeks, but I did today after shaving.  My wife's response was "wow, your head is really shiny. It looks great!"  So I guess I'll be using HeadSlick as part of my routine!

The HeadLube Matte has a version with SPF 30, but last I knew the Glossy did not.  Which is disappointing, since I also love a shiny dome, but really need to be a bit more careful.

Got a compliment today on my shiny head from another sly guy O0  I enlightened him to the wonderful product of headlube glossy :)

I've been using the Headlube Glossy or Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera as my topper. Both provide a really nice shine.

Some good 100% Aloe Vera will give you a shine...one of the bros. turned us on to SPF 30 as a shine producer. I tried it and it works. Rub it all over and it'll give you an all day shine.  O0

So, what you are saying is that the Headlube SPF30 does also get you a nice shine?. I thought this one was only available in matte.
Headlube Glossy is a very nice product, nice shine and absorbs well, but I have tried other 100% aloe vera gels and they all work fine

Nope...I said one of the SBG Bros posted that if you rub on some SPF30 it will make your head shine and it does. I'm not referring to Headlube.  O0

Why am I the only one that doesnt like Headblade products? I think the gloss stuff is 5hitty. I think ALL their stuff is 5hitty, with the exception of the exfoliator, but St Ives exfoliator does the same thing more effectively at a fraction of the price.

I do enjoy most HeadBlade products, but then it comes to the "lubes"...when I sweat, my head just gets "weird" when I use them.  I'm HB all the way until that final treatment of the dome, for that I use a skin smoothing gel from Tolsom.

I like the HB shave gel, but as for the rest...very over priced and there are better products on the market, imho.  ^-^

I like the shine from the HB Glossy but it feels a little sticky so I'm careful as to when I wear it.

yea, it seems like it takes a very long time to absorb/dry...I like aloe or spf-30, just my preference.

I've given up on HeadLube - makes my head feel sticky after a while.

tried the headlube glossy about a year ago, and i was not impressed, after using it for a couple of days i developed a painfull irritation behind my ears, and the skin split, as soon as i stopped using the product my head cleared up, besides this little problem, i was not impressed with the shine, double strength aloe vera gell  O0 O0gives a way better shine and is better for the skin as well.  O0 O0 O0

Do you mean any sunscreen with SPF 30? Or  particular brand, or is SPF30 a particular brand/prodct?

Yep, I just grabbed some 30 SPF out of the medicine cabinet and rubbed it on my freshly shaved head and it resulted in a nice shine. I can't remember the SBG member's name, but you could do a search and maybe find the original post. Give it a try and see for yourself. Good luck!
