1)a list of items i should buy before shaving...keep in mind that im black and i know black guys have different hair than white guys(budget is not an issue)
2)actual procedure to shaving like step by step
3)how long should i wait before shaving again after i get the first barbershop shave...

hey mr explosive guy
welcome back
Today marks my first full week of being SLY (LUV IT)
So here goes my shaving methodology
My preference is the Mach 3 Turbo
Wet down the dome by hand with hot water
Apply some shaving gel and away I go
My shaving strokes are against the grain and after the first sweep, I rub my hand over the areas and check for misses....be careful around the ears
Then it's shower time and does it feel GOOD
The final piece of this excercise is too purchase a good moisturizer and
simoniz the dome
By the way, I like to shave every other day and DON'T GO TO THE BARBER,
YOU WILL MISS THE FUN
After that...the world awaits
Happy Shaving
Steve

Welcome back wolf. As you mentioned, your needs may be different, so the best advice would be to check out the numerous tips in the Head Shaving section and see which would apply to you. Personally I don't use anything but Headslick for shaving and the Mach 3 or Headblade is my razor(s) of choice. Since you are getting back into the routine, shaving with the grain first and then against should minimize irritation. And for many a cold water rinse is a must. Post shave needs would depend upon your skin sensitivity. Aloe vera gel helps to keep down irritation for me

Welcome again!
I like to shave in the shower and use a HeadBlade Sport with the triple blade. I also use HeadSlick from Headblade to lather up first. There's nothing special about shaving the pate, it's similar to face shaving. I don't need a mirror in the shower, I just feel with one hand and drive the HeadBlade with the other till everything is smooth! Rinse and apply a little Bald Guyz Moisture Gel after drying.
