Title: Suggestions on Headslick replacement?
Post by: theebaldguy on October 17, 2011, 06:23:30 PM
I've been a fan of HeadSlick shave cream for a while, but I think it's time to try something else for my head shaving routine. I just had a terrible shave with HeadSlick. It seemed as if it had coagulated, and had lumps in it. I used a brand new Fusion cartridge, and it felt like I was dragging the blades through glue instead of shaving cream. Ugh!  :Xo!

Is there something else out there that works great, and won't break the budget? I like the menthol in HeadSlick, but I can't stand heavily fragranced products.

Open to suggestions!  :)

For years, I've mixed Headslick and Bald Guyz Shave Gel. I love Headslick, but found it clogged the razor easily. Blad Guyz Shave Gel speads easily, is a little thinner, and gives a good shave. To me, a 50/50 mix of these two products gives a great shave.

Hope that helps.

Hi Schro,

That's one of the things about HeadSlick that I don't like, the fact that it clogs the razor too easily, and leaves a nasty film on the razor. I'll look for the Bald Guyz products, and experiment a little. Thanks!

I use the HS w/ a brush and add some glycerine--great lather and I've not had any clogging issues with any of the tools I've used, Fusion, M5 or now, Schick Hydro 5.

I use Edge Gel Sensitive Skin (silver can) and KOS Alpha gel from time to time. I've found the that HS makes my head break out sometimes.

I have a few bottles of Headslick and really only use it when I'm travelling. Can't get used to it. I use either shave gel or foam, like the gel a little better. Nivea Sensitive Shave Gel or foam for me. The Gillette gels are also fine. Would love to try the Bald Guyz though
I use an old toothbrush to clean the blades between passes

I'm a big fan of HeadSlick. I have been since the first time I tried it. No problems to report with razor clogging on my end.

Buy yourself a mug and a decent brush....then there's a whole new world of lather out there to explore.
I'll strongly reccomend soaps from both Mama Bear and Ogallalla.   Excellent shave soaps and incredibkle scents!
