Try the Headblade, that will get it baby smooth, But for the dry skin you realy should try a moisturiser, I use one everytime i shave, two products i would highly recomend are HEADLUBE,i use headlube matt, but thats coz i dont like a shiny dome, and NIVIA FOR MEN AFTERSHAVE BALM,this moisturises andhelps prevent razor rash, hopes this helps, sly guy

My advice is to just keep trying.  It takes a little experimentation with different things for different people.  Try not to get to easily frustrated.  But with practice I believe that anyone can get a good routine down for a really close shave.  You've got lots of good advice here.  Take advantage of it. 

BTW, I've used both the Fusion and Mach III.  I've found that the Fusion gives a little better shave. But you can get a decent shave from either.  It may just take awhile for you scalp to adjust.

Hang in there.

actually i am going out tommorrow and plan on buysing a headblade
i dont think my walmart sells anything other than the razor though
like no products
we'll see!
