Title: Finally did it gone smooth Start of the 30 day rule.
Post by: Awardsd on December 01, 2014, 04:04:09 PM: Been shaving my head for a few years. Most of the time with a no guard or a little bit more. So I went for the razor today. Wish me luck

I gotta tell you, that pic you posted with the buzz hair really suits you as well.

I have a few friends and relatives who buzz their head that close but for whatever reason won't go the full sly even though they've seen me make the transition to shaving my head. I guess to each their own and they'll find the time when it's right for them.

Post by: Awardsd on December 10, 2014, 12:23:16 AM: Thanks for the support. Day 9 everything is going smooth (no pun intended). Just a quick question. Getting a few bumps and ingrown hairs bump. Best solutions ? I do use Nivea post shave balm. Its nice but maybe looking for something more for sensitive skin.

Based on the recommendations of others here, I started using Bump Patrol to help with the bumps on the back of my head. It works really well! Apply it on the area of the bumps before you put on the post shave lotion. You can find it at Walmart, comes in a blue bottle.

Also, make sure that you are using a light touch, especially in those sensitive areas., when shaving. You don't need a whole lot of pressure to achieve a smooth shave.

I've done the 30 day rule and I'm keeping the sly look going. A few cuts and ingrown hairs. But I feel I got my system down for the sly head. Thanks for all the good feed back
