Not to worry.  I have three spots which I cannot get absolutely smooth simply because of the contour of the scalp surface. They are not obvious to anyone and only I know where they are. I accept it and move on.

I have to use my free hand to pull the skin taught in order to get a smooth shave. It also decreased the cut/nicks I was getting when the skin folded into the blade.

Y2KOTA, Welcome and congrats on the 30 days! One thing that can help you get smoother shaves even in those hard spots is a small bottle of Shave Secret at Walmart. It can be used alone or mixed in with whatever shaving cream that you use. The best part is you only need about 5 drops, a small bottle lasts me about nine months to a year. That said, as you become more proficient at head shaving, you may want to invest in a shaving brush and some shaving soap. Razors tend to cut better over a heavy lather as opposed to gel and foam, IMO. Good luck and feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Thanks for the info and using my other hand stretch out that hard to get patches. I'll try the Shave Secret. Any tips for this newbie is always appreciated!

Well must say that this morning, got me the closes shave yet  Used the pulling of the skin taught method and it seemed to work. Did end up with one bleeder and a small amount of red rash, but less then what I have been getting.  Gave the dome a splash of witch hazel after wards. Yea it sting that bleeder big time   After the WH dried I tried the HeadBlade ClearHead Bump Treatment. A while later right before heading out to work, a fine coating of HeadLube Glossy was massaged in. Dam I look smooth and so shiny 

Congrats Y2K, you look great! Wondering, are you BBC like me?
