hey guys. sorry it has been so long but i got really busy really quick and i haven't had time to get on here. anyways as most of you know i was fighting razor bumps and i still am. im using a headblade with gelette sensor 3 blades, headslick, st ives apricot scrub, baldguyz moisturizing gel and bump patrol liquid formula. i just started using the bump patrol stuff and it seems to help but not enough.....and it stings like a bitch lol. i put a new blade in this morning and shaved and it was horrible...as soon as i looked in the mirror my head was covered with bumps but the sides of my head are the worst. i have shaved with and against the grain and i seem to have the same result. i would order some clearhead but i am in-between jobs and i am trying to save money. i am just very frustrated....I just dont know what i should do. out of desperation i used some of my mother's makeup on my head(some kind of skin-colored liquid stuff) and it took the redness out of the bumbs but of course they are still there. i am a sly man in need....please help!

Try King of Shaves Alpha oil under your headslick. Put 4-8 drops of the oil (oil costs $4.99 at CVS) and then cover with headslick. I also use Sensor blades, and I found that I get less razor burn with triple blades, but I refuse to use them because I get a closer shave with doubles...

Bro, sounds like with all you are doing and so little results that this could be an allergic reaction. Have you consulted a dermatologist?
-
Another idea is maybe an electric razor? I've never tried this (I am a headblade man myself) but maybe that would cause less irritation for you?
-
... maybe try Tea Tree Oil ... it's sold as a 'bump fighter.'

Yeah ... I've heard of that, but never tried it. Heard good things though...

i am going to cvs today to see if i can find that oil. if i am still having this problem ;when i get another job i will probably go to a dermotologist. i just hope they dont tell me to stop shaving....because i wont....i'll get rid of these things somehow...but yeah guys thanks for the help i'll post back tomorrow after i use the oil.

Look for Pacific Shaving Oil. They have it at Whole Foods and stores like that. I'm trying it out right now and it's some good stuff.

Could you possibly be putting to much pressure on the blade ,like pressing to hard ? That'll make you bump up like a fool

Pacific Shaving Oil is the best stuff out there.

I had a bunch of red spots until I tried the King of Shaves Alpha Oil underneath my gel. It makes the HeadBlade slide pretty smooth across my head, so I think it helps get a closer shave too.
Also, that oil also contains Tea Tree Oil that the others mentioned. Give it a shot, sure helped me.
-
hey bro...i've had trouble with burn myself. i have tried the tea tree oil, it didnt really help and it smells VERY strong...do not recommend. ive found that baby oil works great...just massage into scalp before u apply ur headslick. plus the great part is that it only costs like a buck for a big bottle O0

Your at the end of the rope try the below..
When I had major bumps especially summer time, I shave in the morning, at night well I spread some
diapper rash cream for baby's. YEP>>>>>>>>>> I"ve posted this in a few post and let me tell you a few evenings of this stuff, and you will be cured..........Hey I was at the end of the rope was either that or regrow my hair, witch I didn't want to do.....
So Give it a shot I'm sure after 3 to 4 application at night you will give me the O0

Sup JDog.. yea been off for a while.. crazy times arround here. busy as eck.
but trying to log on as much As I can been reading some of the threads also.

I've had some issues with that...I switched to Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel (there are several different kinds; get the one with colloidal oatmeal). After I shave I finish off with witch hazel, followed by Vaseline Intensive Care. It's a regimen I found online, and has made a dramatic difference. Most of the red spots were gone the same day, and I don't seem to be getting any new bumps.
-
I've been going sly for a week and developed some red bumps on Saturday. The only change to my routine was I started using Headlube on Thursday (instead of Aloe). Is it possible that it has something to do with it?
Today after shaving I used Clearhead, and went back to using Aloe and it seems to be helping. Anyone else have a similar issue?
-
So, I normally use an electric, but every so often I'll blade it and the other week I got some really bad razor burn and bumps all over, and I mean from the base of the neck all over the sides and on top. I threw on a hat, which I never do, and went looking for something. I was at the mall and had no luck at the Shoppers Drug Marts so I decided to head into The Body Shop (mainly cause there were only the employees in there and they were all very nice ;) ) and I asked them for help. They immediately brought me this tube called "For Men Razor Relief" and had me try it right there, and it worked really well. Within a few minutes it was already starting to clear up. I would definitely recommend trying that out. I don't know if The Body Shop in the US do this, or even if there are any there, but here in Canada they give out samples for you to try. Something else they recommended was their "Aloe Caring Body Balm." It's a bit greasy at first but has worked well for me since I've got really sensitive skin, and there is really no odor to it either.

Hey PM... I don't use HeadLube anymore... not because of bumps, but because it always felt greasy. You should try BaldGuyz moisture gel... that stuff is rightgeous!! (Sorry about saying "rightgeous" but I just watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High again last night...)
