Tommy, Welcome to SlyGuys!!
The Vaseline intesive care is probably pretty good stuff.
When I have irritations of various sorts, I use 100% Aloe Vera from Fruit of the Earth.
Hope you can stick around. You will learn a lot about many aspects of being SLY

Welcome to the group, Tommy! Aloe is pretty much the cure all. I have read several guys plug headblade's clearhead. I don't have any issues with razor burn so I have no need for it. Also you may look into pretreatment. like using an exfoliator, like Headshed.

Welcome Tommy, I recommend that you use the Post-Shave Alcohol Routine, and follow that up with a little HeadLube. You can find it off the HeadBlade Website. Great Stuff... Remember, Alcohol dries out your skin, so as it is (usually) essential to use the Post Shave Alcohol to keep down the Razor Burns/Bumps, the HeadLube [Moisturizer designed specifically for your scalp.] becomes essential as well. Remember also: BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU USE ON YOUR HEAD, AS SOME PRODUCTS ARE NOT MADE FOR THE SENSITIVE SKIN ON YOUR HEAD AND WILL CLOG YOUR PORES .
Again, Recommend the HeadBlade Products. Started using those and my head has been smooth and Clear since. Peace

Hi Tommy! Welcome to SBG...
I would probably stay away from putting hand and body moisturizers on your head... and stick to either head specific moisturizers (HeadLube, Bald Guyz) or facial moisturizers (Niviea Q10 or similar).
Nothing wrong with putting straight Aloe on though...

Welcome Tommy! BaldRob made a good point. Stick to lotions designed for the face and head.
