It isn't meant to get rid of the shadow,  it's meant to add shadow to the top.

NO!!!!!  I love my head shaves and would never consider applying any type of "cover up" on my dome.

That guy has a remarkable amount of "shadow" considering he says he shaves his head...I mean, I know a lot of pale men with dark hair have it bad with the shadow, but this looks a little much...almost as if he is buzzing his head and not truly shaving it.

Typical advertising attempt to play on people's paranoia about baldness. Old man! Scientist! Not my cup of tea!

His pictures look a bit photo shopped and why no head on view from the front ?   If you really need a shadow then consider micro pigmentation.  I did it only because I had extensive hair transplant scars all over basically. So my profile pic is of the end result. Moral of the story is NEVER get hair transplants.

If one reads the ad, at one point they show a young lady making  face and saying, "Yuck, Grandpa, Old man, Scientist."

Hold it chicky, I'm a physicist, a  form of scientist in the eyes of many, and I have shaved my head for 15 years. If there is some group of illiterate, ill informed, stupid young women going around saying the above quoted then...in this day and age of hyper sensitivity, I believe she's violated my civil rights. Or some rights. The rights to be bald. And, quite seriously, the ad is offensive on several levels as well as decptive on others. I, for one, cannot see much difference between the "before" photo and the "after" photo.

Did I mention that bit about "scientists"? I thought so.   PJ

I copied his pics to my PC and did full screen shot and you def. can see the ink smeared on his mpb area.  In that case go for the micro pigmentation.  Re-applying ink stain on your head for the rest of your life only makes this guy wealthy ... LOL !

It takes me several  days of not shaving before my horseshoe shows  - - -I never go more than a day - - -very  rarely do I skip a day.

Not for me  - - -and the way it shows it looks like stubble on top.

Yeah I found the grandpa, old man, scientist bit offensive. Not because he said it but because it reminded me that women often can say things in an offensive manner and think it's fine and generally people accept it because they don't want to upset them.
It was only yesterday a female acquaintance looked at me and almost laughing quite happily said I had "chicken legs". I looked at her and thought how would it go down now if I said in return "yeah and yours look like elephant legs" It should have been fine in theory

Anyway I'm getting off topic, hmmmm what should i do with this old cartridge of black printer ink that I have in my draw?

Well that's most certainly a crock o' something, and it's not gold. The problem with all these things is that they are still in denial; just admit you're balding and live your life...

I use this myself and it looks pretty good you can't tell. The only problem is getting a bit of the solution on your fingers but the instructions do tell you how to wash it off. I can tell it just takes a bit of practice but I am going to use this when going on a date I have this sat.

Mrcleanshave, I don't want to sound like I'm criticizing, I would never do that, but what if the date goes well,(hope it does) will you have to use it everyday? to me that's not far from using a "system" or spray on hair thickener? We shave to be in control of our look, for us, not to hide it... just my opinion, no offence meant

Run from this guy... Yes, I thought it was worth taking a look at.  I thought something like this would help my upcoming wedding pics. It's just a scam! The guy quit returning my emails once I paid and I received nothing. I'll get the money back via paypal, but thought I would warn everyone about him.  His name is Chuck Prongua. He also goes by Charles.  He's from Canada. He also goes by Ches Kyle on youtube and other forums putting up fake comments. I would ignore anyone from Canada for that matter that pushes it.  May be the same guy. The longer I go without the refund or the info, the more boards I'll inform.

cj4388, welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to warn us, appreciate it! (though I can't imagine any member here even considering investing in this product)

Update.... I do want to say that late last night after my post, he sent me the info.  To be fair to him, I will not reveal the instructions, but will give it a fair review after trying it.

Best of luck to anyone that tries this; however I am looking for something to increase my shine. Any suggestions on a product for that?
