Just bought a bottle of Headslick. How do you use it? Do you wet your head first and then apply or reverse that? or wet it at all? There are no directions.
I tried it on my face this morning and it didn't seem to get very slick until I went to wash it off.

Max, I have never used Headslick and am curious to hear the replys too. I hope to get my hands on a few bottles of it via a weborder.

Headslick is good stuff. You have to get wet first and it works great.
-
As Skinhead said, wet your head first, then apply it.
-
I apply some in my hand run it the length of my 2 fingers index and middle than i wet it and rb my hands to gether
than i rub it on my head voila a slick dome
-
What all the guys have already said. BaldRob taught me the trick though on not using too much. Dime size is usually about right.
-
I wet my head and apply the headslick with my left hand. I am carefult not to get the left hand wet after that as I can use it to feel for spots I missed while adding more headslick and not washing headslick off my head. It has worked well for me ...

Max, as the fellas' said, you need to wet the head first.
I shave with the HB in the shower. I wait until I am done cleaning my face and body, by then the hair is good and wet. Use a dime size portion; like Paul said, it goes a long way. I find I get great shaves this way.
And rinsing is easy.
I clean up the sides and around the ears when I shave my face. In my opinion I get the smoothest from my Atra plus. I will keep you posted as I try other blades.
Jdog, if you can get it, you will definitely like it. It works very well and keeps you lubed so the blade glides well.
-
Hopefully my sly bro Paul is going to help me get my hands on a few bottles of headslick.
Dime sized portion?! Wow that is hardly anthing at all. Must be good stuff. I know with KOS alphagel you still have to use about a matchbook sized portion to get all the head thoroughly lubed especially with 1 day stubble.

With headslick i do wet my head first and then i apply some King of Shave oil. On top of that I put on some headlick. The KOS oil makes for a razor-rash free shave. It's the best combination.
-
Razor, does your head stay oily afterward, or do you wash your head again? I am curious because that sounds like a nice smooth shave.
I tend to have oily skin, so I don't need any help with shine, lol. I am actually looking for Matte, and I can't find it in the stores here. I only see Headslick.

hi xnewyawka,
The combination of KOS and Headslick (the shaving cream) doesn't leave my head oily. After I'm done shaving with it, i rinse my head in cold water and a little soap to clean my head of shaving cream and stubble. Let me head air dry and then I apply some Headlube, which is the moisturizer. This comes in Gloss or Matte. I prefer the Gloss. I like a nice shiney noggin. The headlube can feel a little greasy at first...but it dries up.
Hope this help....but the KOS and Headslick does leave my noggin nice and smooth.

Thanks for help guys. Headslick is great. Best and closest shave I've ever had.
-
Razorhead, thanks for the info. I am going to have to give that a shot.

I picked up some KoS shaving gel, haven't used it for the noggin yet because I love Headslick so much. Was wondering if it works well and if anybody has input on it.
I guess I will have to order the Headlube from the HB site, I haven't seen it in CVS or Walgreen's yet. I believe you can get them in smaller sizes too. That will help with the decision on Matte or Gloss.
Like I said earlier, I get a pretty good natural shine. lol

Here's a trick for you, wet your head, run in about a dime size dollop of http://bronnerbros.com/Products/hot_6_oil.html (http://bronnerbros.com/Products/hot_6_oil.html) ($3 at Ekard's drugs, in the ethnic section) then rub a dime size dollop of headslick. Best shave I've ever had.
-
I prefer to put some in a mug and whip it up with a Badger brush.

The stuff is great, even has my better half seal of approval as she used it to shave her legs, and told me it felt great, then I hung her for using it LOL
:x! :x! :x!
At least she has not tried to use my Head Blade too...

Can't disagree with you -- I don't know how they make it, but it's awesome. A saleslady in Walgreens mentioned that she uses it to shave her legs too. My wife has never tried mine although I've offered it up to her.
-
I just tried it for the first time today. At first I kind of missed the nice thick, stiff foam that comes from a can, but I have to say that the Headslick did a really great job. Loved the cool feeling of the menthol.
-
My good friends Tim and Paul are sending me some headslick .I'll share my experience with it in a few weeks.
-
WOW.....i finally used headslick 2day on the noggin' & face. all i gotta say is....super smooth! the wifey was amazed at how little it took 2 lather on my dome. she said it was a gr8 product. i also used it on my face & it did a super job. i think i will keep the headslick in my routine & go back & forth with the dove soap and KOS alpha gel. it's gr8 that i can switch up these 3 products. jdog.... that's gr8 that paul & tim will b sending u some headslick. u will luv it. guaranteed!

Yes as I have posted in another post ...my devisating discovery today at walmart...i have still parted with one bottle adn sent it all the way around the other side of the world. My wife and daughter use it to shave thier legs at times....and i have noticed my headblade has been moved several times in the shower......i dunno what to think about that.

Tim fear not my bald bro. It seems my HB has taken a fond of the 3bladed Gillette Daisy razor. Believe it or not,these disposable 3blade razors have removable cartrides and I came into the bathroom after work to shave yesterday and someone in the house had used it to shave their legs.
Dont know who it could've been :-\

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! someone is in trouble. I now keep my headblade on the top shelf of the closet in a box. No one knows where it is. They can use the headslick all they want...but you DO NOT TOUCH MY HEADBLADE SPORT!
