So yesterday I made a slight change to my shave routine sort of on a whim.

First I shaved with my HB and HeadSlick with the grain. Nor mally I would then shave against the grain and then finish up with some Apricot Scrub.
But this time after shaving with the grain I used the Apricot Scrub.... then I shaved against the grain. Whoa! Talk about smooth. Then I applied a little BaldGuyz Moisturinzing Gel. Six hours later I was STILL pretty smooth. My wife even noticed the difference.

So I tried it again today with the same great results.

will have to give this lil changeup a try. . . still getting the same results?

Oh yeah.........

I usually use a scrub first  to bring up the hairs before I shave them.  I'll give your tip a try tomorrow and see how it goes!

Great tip!  I tried it this morning and normally I can feel a lot more growth than what I have now.  Thanks for the tip! 

me too! it really does make a difference. rubbing side of my head now at 7pm nearly as smooth as it was at 7am! usually rough at this hour. many thanks, Mike for the great suggestion.. this place is full of em 

I've tried this my last couple of shaves with some generic face scrub, and I have to say it makes my head feel much cleaner than doing it before my first pass. 

This seems to work w/ the loofah pad also, after the first pass, a rubdown w/ the pad, then the second.  Thanks, Mike.

The only time anything called "loofah" is touching my skin is if I decide that's my wife's new pet name.......................

Hmmm, perhaps it is time to invest in some scrub or a loofah...

Another one for using a loofah here. Works great with which ever regular wash or soap you use in between passes.  I have used headhead in between passes and would definetley agree with what's being said it provides that little bit smoother feel
