headlube....is it any good? does it really make your dome shine? I want to order, and idk if it's worth to order one or two.
-
I think that Head lube is great. I use both glossy matte and the SPF 30 one. It makes my head softer and I think it promotes a better shave. If you use the glossy don't use more than half a size of a dime. Otherwise your head will look like a marble floor. If you use the headshade or any sunscreen I wouldn't use glossy I would use matte, or just go with the Headlube SPF 30. I highly recommend all of them.
-
I like HeadLube and have both Matte and Glossy - use whichever one suits my whim of the moment.
Like HeadSlick, a little goes a long way.
-
As much as I love HeadSlick.... I don't like HeadLube. To me it's just too thick and it made my head fell "suffocated".
It's been a couple of years since I used it so maybe it's reformulated or maybe I would even feel differently about it if I tried it now. My initial experience though.... not so good.
-
I'm not a fan of HeadLube. While it gives a nice shine, my head feels sticky in about an hour after I use it. I prefer Nivea Sensitive After-shave Balm. It's a nice light moisturizer that never feels sticky or oily.
-
I use it from time to time, but I feel that it leaves my head greasy. I mostly use the SPF version.
-
I use HeadLube Matte personally. Loves ittt. :)
-
I use the Matte version sometimes. I do not like the SPF version. Didn't absorb into skin very well.

I took the SPF HeadLube on vacation a couple weeks ago. It worked well, but I noticed that it didn't absorb very well. Instead it left a white haze on my skin.

The haze is the same reason that I don't use it too often.

thanks for sharing your opinions. gonna skip that.
I'd like to order something from headblade, but idk what..... any ideas? creams, or anything?

Headclear

It's been a while since I used it, but it's there for using now that the new academic year is on the horizon and I might want to stun my students with rays of light. I don't notice any negative effects, but in what pertains to the dome, I'm not as fussy as some who post here. I'm not wedded to any highfalutin new razor, new soap, or new headbalm. When I use it, it produces a fine glisten, and whatever's left on the palm, I just rub on the bod... not that I care about my chest and its shine in public.
I think this is nearly a non-issue. That is, the plus or minus of this product. If you like it, fine; if you don't, that's OK too. Don't over-analyze.
-
I would order head clear. It works great. It feels like a hornets nest is stinging your head when you put it on sometimes, but it keep my head nice and clear so I don't care.
-
That stinging is caused by the alcohol in ClearHead. It works well. Witch hazel is an alternative that works as effectively, costs less and doesn't sting as much.
-
For me personally, nothing works as good as HeadClear and Bump Patrol, witch hazel doesn't really do anything for me. Cant recommend HC enough.
-
There also doing a 5oz bottle now instead of the 2oz which is better.
-
HeadLube Glossy. If you use a tiny amount, it doesn't leave a greasy feeling at all. I have a really oily skin and my dome feels the same with or without. It shines like hell with, though 8) 8)
-
Can HeadLube Glossy be purchased from any brick and mortar store that you know of?
-
I agree with you balddoc. I don't think you can purchase anything headblade except the sport razor,Hb triple blades, and Head Slick from any store.
-
but I feel that it leaves my head greasy.
This is how I described the feeling Headlube gives you in another thread.
...Especially the glossy one. That stuff just feels gross, no matter how much, or little, I use. :P
-
There is other stuff out there...try some aloe vera, you may like it.
-
I use both witch hazel and clear head. Both work great.
-
I have also used headblade glossy and like it. It gives the dome a good shine which I like.
-
Paul, the HeadLube Glossy is one of the best things you can use for a great shine. It also happens to be an excellent moisturizer as well. That'a the beauty of HB products; they do what they're meant to do. Simple.
It only takes a couple of small dabs to cover the dome, and be sure to rub it in well. I have a feeling some of the other guys may be using too much. ;)
-
thanks for the opinions, guys.
I will give it a try, maybe
-
I use HeadLube Matte. Love it.
I tried the Glossy (got the four small bottle sample pack - Matte, Glossy, Slick and Shed) but didn't really see much difference in the shine. My wife says she likes the matte look better anyways.
I found the SPF on my last trip to the US and have tried that now too.
I like them all - all absorb in nicely and leave my head feeling smooth, not greasy at all. I haven't noticed any difference in shine from any of them.
-
Glossy makes the head gleem, matte doesn't.
-
bought it, liked it.
I've used it on a job interview, and I guess it helped, because I passed. or was it ..just me?

Congratulations! Looking good in photo.
