Title: i can NEVER get the crown of my head smooth after shaving
Post by: Ghost1988 on September 30, 2008, 09:52:19 PM
does anyone else have this problem? i go over it like 10 times and even push harder with the razor but it will NOT be as smooth as a babys butt like the rest of my head. the crown of my head will be a rough sandpaperlike feel. does anyone else have spots on their head that they have a hard time getting smooth like the rest of your head?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

btw. im going against the grain

I feel the same stubble, fuzz, rough patch... on my crown. It also has a different sensitivity than the rest of my head. Weird huh?

You're def not the only one - no matter how many times I go over my crown I rarely get it as smooth as the rest of my dome - what really sucks though is I have a double crown so it's so smooth all over except for those two spots.

Same problem for me. I go over the crown in all different directions since the hair grows in a circle on the crown. That seems to work.

I suggest finding how the hair grows and going the opposite. If you have some Bald Guyz moisture gel try putting some of it on the area and while wet use a razor (mach3/fusion) to touch it up and see what angle the hair grabs. I found that if I go front to back then left-right and right-left its as smooth as ever. Now I just do it routinely and no issues  O0

Yeah: different directions usually does it, but i have a double crown too, and it can be tricky.  If I'm gonna slice the dome that's when i do it, making several passes over the same spot, so be careful! 8)

I think it's funny that the spot i have the least hair is the hardest to get smooth.

the only way to do it is to change directions of your strokes, the hair grows in every direction on the crown, at least it does on me

What razor are you using?  That's one of the reasons that I use the HeadBlade with the Sensor blades.  I can't get smooth on the crown with the Mach3 and Fusion because the blades are not flexible enough.

i use the mach 3 turbo. im actually thinking of trying out the headblade though. im getting kind of fed up with how short lived the mach 3 blade is. i can only get about 3-4 good shaves with it until it goes dull and starts nicking my head. i spend so much money on new blades. thats one reason i shave every other day and not every day.

Same issue here and same solution as stated above.  I have to shave in a circle on my crown.  Try different directions.

Wait a few years and you'll have a permanently smooth crown,whether you want it or not.   ;)

I used to have the same problem, but there's not much left to shave there these days.   :-\
