"Use a good quality razor like a Fusion (the razor of choice for most around here) and some good quality shaving gel.  If you prep properly -- get your scalp good and wet beforehand and take your time, you shouldn't nick or cut yourself.  The skin on the scalp is more taut than your face, so it's actually easier to shave than you thin"

"Cut it as short as possible, no guard, shower, a little baby oil or shave secret, your shave creme or gel and a NEW blade--I started w/ Fusion, very hard to nick I found, and SLOWLY--it's a new skill--it won't take long to learn and the process will get much faster--But Slow at FIrst.  Rinse, some after shave Balm, Nivea Extreme is my choice--Result, smooth, clean and Freedom."


Thanks for the input.  I was wondering how my beard would look with a shaved head.  After looking at saintc's photo, there is nothing for me to worry about.  Looks good, saintc.

Where do you get HeadLube?

I miss CVS so much!  We only have Walgreens and RiteAid here.

Bubba,

Take the 170 mile drive to Missoula and you will find a CVS!

I havent seen a CVS here. For my headlube I drive all the way to Walgreens in CdA, basically close to an hours drive just for a bottle of it.

 I figured out a comparison. A head without shine is like a twinkie with no filling, just not the same

With the Sly Bald Guys 20% discount, ordering on line is the cheapest way to go!  That's how I get all my HeadBlade products.

We've got one on just about every other corner ! CVS and Walgreen's seem to monopolize this area.

We have to use CVS since they bought out Eckert's, and it has not been an improvement, nor was RiteAid's purchase of our local legend, K & B.  Basically, I really don't like "national" brands/franchises, they don't respond to local needs, and certainly haven't recognized the power of Sly.  I do a lot of my shopping for such stuff at a local non-franchised store that at least matches for beats even the big box WalMart for price and every one of the chains for selection.  One problem is that my cherished HS is getting harder and harder to find.  It's a really mean and tough market out there for niche products, although considering the number of clean smooth domes we all see we're beyond niche by my definition--but the vendors and manufacturers have failed to open their eyes to the fact of our shining domes.
