When I started a year ago, I went with HB Matte exclusively. Then on one of my orders I added a tiny bottle of the Glossy for grins. I have to say, I really like it now! Strange as it sounds, it seems to add some definition to the contours of your head.
Now I have a half a bottle of matte I am trying to use up....maybe for my face and I'll glossy up the skull.
Anyone else have a preference?

I like glossy. In fact, I was at a local pub today, and had 3 people come over and ask how I get such a shiny head. One gal was afraid to ask, so she sent a girlfriend over to ask. So I went over to her and chatted. I even let her rub my head.
-
That's funny, reddog! I always say it brings luck if you rub my head.
-
I have to say that I am intrigued as to what the difference is, having never used either!
-
I love HeadBlade glossy head lube. It gives the dome a great shine which I really like.
-
I could go for a good head rub. It would feel so good.
-
Hi Joe, you'll be happy to know I'm sly again, made it 5 weeks and hated seeing that white hair! So I'm bald as a babies butt again, and it looks great.
-
I like a bit of a gloss. I use Aveeno After Shave Lotion and it gives it a nice shine. My head is naturally oily so it keeps a shine pretty much throughout the day.
-
I tend to prefer the glossy look as well.
-
My head has a natural high sheen even though I would prefer a matte finish. Matte is the only one I have tried, and it did not do much to dull the gloss up there.
-
GLOSSY!
RedDog, did you take a break ... You know sly is better.
-
Yes, Dan, I took a 5 week break from shaving. Had a darn nice looking flattop going, but am sly again. Don't know why I even try growing the hair back, I like the sly look on me and other guys. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
-
Nice choice Reddog. If I had to have hair for 5 weeks, I'd wear a flattop too!
-
Red Dog, you're a better man than me....If I go 5 days without shaving, I'm scared the SD might kick in....Getting back to geddyflea's topic I like to shine when not working, but i go for the matte look at work due to the constant contact with dust (I do wear a stocking cap at work though)
-
Harry, the sd was back after 3or4 days, and got worse. Amazing, 4 days since shaving and it's gone.
-
I'm a huge fan of the glossy finish as well. Use the matte finish when I want to tone it down but that a rarity these days.
-
Can't say I disagree with the consensus here. If I'm doing smooth, might as well be glossy!
-
matte for me, no doubt.
-
Matte for me, unless I'm sporting a tan, for some reason I prefer glossy with dark skin... I'm always jealous of black dudes with a great shine!
