Try some aloe vera gel.  Keep it in the fridge.  It feels great right after you shave your noggin! O0

Protect the dome...try Matte For Men lotion...and it takes away the shine too.

Like my friend Brkeatr, I also use the Nivea Extreme After Shave Balm..... I use it on the face and head. Great stuff and a little goes a long way.

I use neutrogena post shave face moisturizer. It's expensive but doesn't clog pores. I like how my skin feels after I use it.

Ditto here. Last bottle of Witch Hazel came from WalMart. This stuff's been around forever... It's a trip you're having such a hard time, Time2Shine.

I use it on my head and face. I became sold on it several years back as typical aftershave makes my neck break out like crazy. Since I have been using Nivea..no problems.

I try to find a product that has both a moisturizer and sunscreen in it to give me the effects of all three.

I usually use head lube, but have been looking for other options recently.

[By the way, I have hand sanitizer in my office, and I decided to see what it did for the dome.  It felt good!!  Anybody know if its bad for the cabeza?  This might be my new middle of the work day ritual, since my head starts to get greazzzy.]

Hand sanitizers usually have a high alcohol content, so it might dry your scalp out pretty bad.

L'Oreal Comfort Max After Shave Balm with UVA/UVB SPF 15 Sunscreen.
Goes on well, smells nice, and feels great.

I have yet to find a better product.

I've used that for years!  It's great.  But in the hot summer months, I just splash witch hazel on the dome.  I like the way witch hazel tightens the scalp.  Only one drawback to witch hazel...it kinda sorta smells like URINE.

It's really a matter of what you prefer, and what works best for your scalp.

I usually use Witch hazel, but not everyday. My main choice is Bald Guyz moisture gel, and I will switch that up with HeadLube Matte or Glossy.
Now that Winter is coming, and with it more drier air, I think it may be time to use the Headlube's more, as they are more oil based and dont evaporate as quickly as the moisture gel.

Try experimenting to see what will give you the comfort and protection you need.

And don't forget sunscreen!     O0
