Busta,
Lots of good suggestions from Ty; I would also add Schick Xtreme III for razors. Be prepared to experiment to find your perfect combination. That's part of the fun of headshaving. Welcome to the gang! -

Guess I'm in the club. My barber just did it with a straight razor. I then went out and got all my supplies for next time: Headblade, HeadLube, HeadSlick, and Some "Men's Series Facial Scrub" for exfoliation (didn't see any of the other brands you guys recommended at the store).
I have major razor burn, my scalp is all red, is this normal? I just put some HeadLube on it. -

Welcome Bustabucket. Hope your head is better soon. Maybe that's a reaction to the straight razor.

I also just have naturally sensitive skin. I'll take a shower and keep applying the lotion for now.
by the way, does regular sunscreen work on the head? specifically this brand:

Is it REALLY any different to get a sunscreen that's formulated to work on the head? -

Congrats busta! You shouldn't have too much razor burn if the barber did it correctly.
Any SPF should be good, but I'm not experienced in using that specific brand. -

Congratulations busta on joining the sly side. Try some of the Bald Guyz moisturing lotion for the irritation and begin getting ready for those head rubs.

I think it's turned out pretty well so far.
How often do you guys shave? How long is too long to wait to do it with a razor? -

I shave everyday, though I will occasionally skip a day. I wouldn't go more than 4, maybe 5 days without shaving with a razor.

How do you guys see the back of your head? Do you just bring another mirror around? I shaved for the first time and I think I just killed the back of my head. Halfway through I said "screw it" and tried to estimate.
