Title: Better Head Wipes?
Post by: BlackJamesRackham on April 08, 2009, 09:08:37 AM
Matte for Men Wipes v Bald Guyz Wipes v HeadBlade Wipes......what do you bros think?


i've only tried the matte for men wipes. while they do a phenomenal job degreasing the dome, they do absolutely nothing to tame the shine. also, they come in a large pack and are not individually wrapped.

i know the other two brands of wipes come individually wrapped, which is ideal.

so what are your thoughts? has anyone tried them all out? which do you prefer to clean and cool off the dome mid-day?

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Bald Guyz Head Wipes and think they work great. I always have a few on hand.

But a wise SBG brother shared a great tip with me a while back…you can get good results from store-brand or national brand baby wipes. They come scented or unscented and are much cheaper. The individually head wipes are good and don’t take up as much space. But you can buy the baby wipes is a thin, plastic package as well as the larger box/tub. Keep some in the car or desk. Worth a try.

Well, personally I've only tried the BaldGuyz and HeadBlade wipes, and to be honest, I prefer the BaldGuyz ones by far.  Something about the feel and the scent after that I just prefer.  I've always got a box in my locker and I keep a few in my flak jacket at all times.

I used some antibacterial baby wipes last summer. Don't remember the brand but they were individually wrapped. Kept some in the car for use after outdoor activities. Worked great.

Love the Bald Guyz wipes. I feel it is the most refreshing of every other wipe I've tried.

Bald Guyz - I find they give me a clean, refreshing feeling. I use them about midway through my work day and it actually seems to give me a bit more energy. Has anyone seen a head wipe with sunscreen? Now that would be convenient.

Matte For Men Cleansing Cloths...by far. They dont shred, clean totally, and also have an ingredient that reuces wrinkles...for older guys like me! Oh yeah...smell great too.

I just did a little searching, Dickinson's now has individually wrapped Witch Hazel pads.
Looks to be about $4-5 a box of 20. Available at most drug stores and chains.

FWIW,

New enough here... I haven't tried witch hazel but the product seems to be used a lot.

Ditto, I take this one step further. I have an aftershave mix that I make at home of Witch Hazel, aloe vera gel, and tea tree oil. Normally I just rub it in my hands and then apply it to the skull but I also treat store brand baby wipes with it. I just squirt it right into the box and treat the whole pack.
The baby wipes I buy are from Wally World and they have Shea Butter in them already. I saturate the pack with my aftershave and whenever I need one I just pull one out and wipe away the irritation. The Shea Butter gives a nice slick feel to the dome, as well.
