Head lube comes in two styles, Glossy and Matte. I have tried both out of curiosity. They are similar. The glossy is designed to have a shiny finish when applied. It does. The matte is supposed to give a dull finish. I did not think that it was that much difference. I'll say it this way, the matte is less shiny than the glossy, but I did not think that it was really 'not shiny'. Perhaps some baby powder after the head lube would fix that?
I like the head lube, but there are other after shave creams that are also good and acceptable. Think of it as hand cream for your head. I do find that when applying head lube or another cream that you find the spots you missed very quickly. You may not feel them prior to the cream, but you do when you apply. if you want really smooth head, I go back and touch up the spots. The cream seems to function like your shave soap, however, it does clog your razor faster. Be sure to rinse out your razor with HOT water if you touch up this way.
