Difference between Matte and Glossy? by Jemig on 21 Dec, 2013 04:29

Depending on the occasion, I have been using both Headblade's Matte or Glossy lube, but frankly, I can't say I see much difference. Especially the glossy one, doesn't really bring the 'shining' look, I'd like.
You guys have other experiences with this or tips to get it really shine? -

Witch hazel and some aloe Vera gel get my head pretty shiny.

Obviously Matte is designed to reduce the shine and Glossy is designed to enhance the shine.

A pastor friend who is bald uses matte for sunday mornings. They film the sermon and the matte gives less reflective shine in the video.
But I really like the shine of glossy. I have both. The difference is not as dramatic as one might think, but they lean on wqay or the other.

mrzed,
I agree with you. I prefer using Headblade glossy lube for the shine. I also use some aloe vera gel right after I shave and then apply the glossy. This helps a lot. -

If I want shine, I just leave my head alone. It is glossy enough on its own.
Matte doesn't get me to the point of no shine (sadly), but it cuts the reflectiveness down somewhat. -

You already look pretty glossy to me. I go "natural" and have a pretty good shine.

Ive been using an aloe gel, and Im pretty shiny when I start my day. Im thinking about trying some matte products and see if anything might dull the finish a bit.

I can't tell too much difference between matte and glossy either, but I do like the best shine possible, so I use glossy, or coconut oil, or anything that will make a shine. Being BBC, I don't have the super shine that some of the lucky bald guys have. But I'll do my best for the shine that I can get.
