Hey all. Been shaving about 3 months now and finally started to get the hang of it. Been shaving in shower and getting it done in under 10 min.  All was going well until the wife came up close to the dome today and noticed hundreds of little clear colorless bumps all over my head??? We confirmed they weren't ingrowns and they aren't red either.  Just bumps. Everywhere.  And I've never see this before.

My routine

Apricot scrub
Head slick
Mach 3 or fusion proglide
When done.
Witch hazel on hands (I rub it all over head)
Then Nivea aftershave.

This hasn't happened ever. So I was planning on scrubbing the crap out of my head and shaving just now so I can see what they actually are ?

The only two changes I made is used bump patrol after shave on the back of my neck because i ran out of bump stopper (but I use it on my face all the time so that shouldn't be it)

And I just tried shave secret for the first time (4 drops) in my shave cream (but that shouldn't cause a rash or bumps)

Funny thing is I wouldn't have noticed if she didn't notice.  They are just clear little bubbles- miniature - you can barely see them but they are in clusters and are hidden well because I'm on third day of no shaving. Any ideas ?

Could it be the witch hazel ? I'm not sure what to omit from the routine ?

Hey, Junior, long time no hear! It's possible dirt may have gotten closed in your pores? Do you wash your bed sheets/pillowcases regularly? Do you wear a hat, and if so is it clean? What do you wash your scalp with? Maybe a doctor or dermatologist could give a better answer, but a lot of times when pores close up it leads to ingrown hairs which may cause your bumping problem...Good Luck!
