I have samples of both products. I like them both but after reading the ingredients they seem to hugely different . Which one benefits the shaved head more??? I'm thinking personally the matte. An hour after applying the matte I seem glossy anyhow !!!
-
I always use glossy. Matte burns my head like hell.
-
really? it burns u huh? i really can't tell a difference other than the glare glossy produces....kinda the basis for my topic

Matte burns my head too. Glossy every time for me O:O
-
Wow, I've never heard of it burning guys heads. I'm glad that doesn't happen to me since I like that matte look.

Strange isn't it Tyler. But it does. Its really painful
-
I like the glossy but the lube always feels greasy to me when I use it. I think the Nivea after shave balm gives me a better shine anyway and it doesn't have that greasy feel... ;)
-
I use the Glossy too as I prefer the shiny look
-
I bought some of the Matte, but it didn't do as much for the Matte look as leave my head feeling greasy and since it had no spf factor I didn't see any benefit. I bought it to see if the matte look would help w/ the wife accepting the sly look. That didn't work either. So it sits with the unfinished can of hair spray and other things that didn't work out in the cabinet beneath my sink.

MS - if you're looking for something that will benefit the scalp, I reccommend the Matte For Men cleansing cloths. In the morning, I just use some nivea after shave, by the time lunch rolls around, my scalp is oily. I use the one of those cloths, my dome feels fresh, and there's a natural shine.
-
Matte clothes or bald Guyz wipes.... what's the concensus?

Hi there.. it is my first post in here so hello to everybody :D
regarding this glossy thing..is there any product that will keep it in the matte state ?? Glossy does not look nice to me as it gets oily after some time and I need to wash my head under the tap to get rid of this .
Any advice ??

Wassssap Darek.
Your head will most likely get oily regardless - your best bet might be to keep it clean, then apply some baby powder or man powder to keep the shine down.

There are three products - HeadLube Matte, Matte for Men, and Dome Defense.

hehe many thanks guys ... I have already ordered the headlube matte stuFF and will check it out later.....
Did anyone of you ever try to change from a razor to an electric one ?? Is it possible to have the same result at the end ??

Never used electric on my noggin but as the experience on my face is less than pleasing I wouldnt imagine it would work on my head.
-
funny that you should ask.
I was shaving my face with the electric and looked at my dome and said, WHY NOT!
Turns out it was way faster and nearly as smooth, COOL!, I thought to myself, but I am less than a week into my Sly regimen and trying to decide how to best handle Sly maintenance.
-
A Sly friend of mine shaves his head with a Braun electric razor and he swears by it... he gets a baby smooth shave. I've never had a good experience with an electric razor shave, head OR face.
As for glossy vs. matte, I use only a tiny amount of Head Lube (about the size of my pinky fingernail) and rub it in well. Gives me just enough shine without the glare. :)
-
Which type is better for which skin color. I heard glossy usually looks better with darker skin and matte for fair skin. I have both kinds of Headlube.... just wanted to see what you guys think.
-
ward, I don't think it matters what color skin type, either one works well with any color.
It's just a matter of preference and how you feel like looking. Some days you may want to shine, and others you want to be more subdued.
I usually alternate with both Headlubes, and Bald Guyz moisture gel.
-
i never had a good shave with an electric. i think i'll just go with nivea energizing hydro gel.....forget the headblade stuff
