Bald Guys Product Review by Tyler on 14 Jun, 2007 02:25
-
A while back I got a nice package that just happened to contain the full Bald Guyz product line. So, first off, thanks to Bald Guyz for sending that on over. Naturally, when I get new products sent to me, I try them out with the intent to review them for all of you.
The full product line contains:
Bald Guyz Wash and Shampoo
Bald Guyz Deep Cleanser and Conditioner
Bald Guyz Ultimate Shave Gel
Bald Guyz Moisture Gel
Bald Guyz Sunscreen with SPF 30+
Bald Guyz Head Wipes
I know some or all of the products have been mentioned at one time or another here, but might as well have a review of all of them in one place. One note, I'm going to review the products in the order that I used them in my routine.
Here we go!
Bald Guyz Wash and Shampoo
First off, when I opened this product, the first thing I noticed was the fragrance; huge fan of it! It was very light and refreshing. I put about a nickel size portion into the palm of my hand and massaged it around my scalp. After using it for a couple of weeks, I've noticed that my scalp has remained free of acne and has felt very clean.
Bald Guyz Deep Cleanser and Conditioner
I used this product about 3 to 4 times a week. It says to use two to three times a week, but I'm used to using other exfoliators daily, so I thought I'd see if there were any side effects to using it more often - there were none! It has the same great fragrance that the shampoo has and I believe attributed to my acne free head while using it.
The deep cleanser does not have exfoliating beads, but does exfoliate your skin using natural fruit acids as an exfoliant
so it is softer on the skin. So, if you have issues with other exfoliators, this is a product you should try out.
Bald Guyz Ultimate Shave Gel
One word came to mind when I started using this product - WOW! This stuff is slick! So slick that after applying it to my head I have a hard time holding the shower head while I'm shaving. (I have one of the shower heads that you can remove and is attached to a hose)
I did my usual first pass with the razor and I could tell that this shaving gel really helped glide the razor across my dome. After the first pass, I applied another nickel sized portion of the shaving gel and did the second pass. This step probably wasn't needed, but I like to make sure my dome is lubed up.
The gel is clear and does create a very slight white foam when applying it to your head, but not much at all. This helps when shaving because you can easily see where you've been and where you haven't. I give this product a huge thumbs up! If you haven't tried it out, do so soon!
Another plus is that it also worked out well on my face.
Bald Guyz Moisture Gel
I have to admit, I was skeptical about the moisture gel, mostly because I'm a big fan of lotions. I was very impressed with the moisture gel after using it. It feels a lot like putting aloe vera on your skin - very soothing! This is probably due to it having a base of water and aloe.
I really liked that after applying the gel, it soaked in quickly and left my head feeling moisturized but not greasy. This product also gets a thumbs up!
Bald Guyz Sunscreen with SPF 30+
I love that this sunscreen has a SPF of 30 plus. So far, that's the largest SPF of any product designed for the bald guy in mind. I had used this product before Bald Guyz sent it to me and I was very impressed. When applying it, it's very much like applying Bull Frog sunscreen where it quickly dries and leaves your head protected. I had always used this product later on in the day as I keep it in my car. One of the fall backs that I noticed is that when applying the sunscreen immediately after shaving and applying the moisture gel is that my head stung like crazy for about 10 seconds. That is a good wake up call in the morning, but I'd prefer if it had more of a soothing feeling like the moisture gel so that I could use just the sunscreen rather than both.
Back to a more positive note with the sunscreen. If you like shine, this sunscreen will make your dome very shiny!!
Overall, I like the product and would recommend it for use an hour or more after you've shaved.
Bald Guyz Head Wipes
There has been a lot of positive responses to the head wipes on this forum and it's well deserved. Nothing beats the head wipes for you when you need a cool refreshing touch up during the mid day or after exercising. The head wipes are great to keep in your car, desk, and other places for when you need to refresh the dome. They now come in a bulk pack of 50 to bring the price down per wipe even more!
Tip: Keep a couple in the refrigerator for when you really want to cool your dome down.
Overall this is a great product line that if you haven't already, you should check out. While your purchasing them over at http://BaldGuyz.com don't forget to enter Sly Bald Guys to get 15% off.
One note, when using the Shave Gel, Moisture Gel, and Sunscreen, keep the cap pointed up when you open them. Because the products are water based, they can come out of the tube pretty quick.
Some more positives...
Bald Guyz products are probably the most widely available head shaving product line in regards to getting it in the stores.
The prices are very good for the quality that you are getting. -

Thanks for the great review Mr. T. I have to totally agree with you on this line. I gave it a try a while back but got pulled into the HeadBlade "thing." I have recently went back to using a different razor and using the Bald Guyz products. My dome has never looked better or felt more healthy. For now I am only using the shave gel and the moisturizer. I have seen the wash/shampoo in my local stores but can't find the conditioner anywhere. I've spoken to head bald guy and he recommended the best thing would be to just order it on line which I probably. I think I need an exfoliater like that one. The scrubbing of the usual ones tends to dry my scalp up. You wouldn't have any suggestions of where I may find the conditioner locally would you so I don't have to order online? Thanks again for the great review bro.
And once again, a big thanks for this great forum.

Great info and great reviews, Tyler. I have only used the moisture gel so far and I love it. I'm sure the others will be just as good. Would like to see them more available in stores and not just on-line.

Hey Sly Ty,
Great review!!! I appreciate your honesty and hope you will continue to support our products. Yes we have several new products in development!!
Many retailers allocate space in their Men's Grooming section based on sales volume. As a niche brand we usually get to have 2-3 products on the shelf and our Head Wash & Deep Cleanser are available at few retailers. Long's Drugs & the Army & Air Force Exchanges carry the complete line. Most only carry our Moisture Gel & Head Wipes. The complete line is on our website.
We appreciate all of your support and I will continue to comment in the forum and answer questions the Sly Guys may have.

Yeah - I noticed they stopped carrying headblade stuff. Guess Todd would not deal with them on THEIR terms -

There are about 800 Wal-Mart's that carry both Bald Guyz & Head Blade products. Remember our category is so small at this time we are fortunate to have this kind of distribution at all.

Great review! I've only tried the wipes, I found them at Walgreens and CVS. I will buy them again. Usually about mid-day I feel kinda dirty and a little too shiney. These things are great for that, I keep a box in my desk.
