Any fellow baldies with advice?

Alright StayPuft I got some time so I am gonna give you some tips and advice I learned through trial and error and some advice from others.

1) Buy these razors...yes they are womens razors...but who cares (plus you can get other colors like yellow or green etc.) I have found that they dont give me the closest shave as say the gillette fusion (5 blades) but they last alot longer normally a week or sometimes two where the fusion razors clog up after 1 or 2 uses since the blades are so close its almost impossible to wash the hair outand the most "bang for my buck." And with the fusion blades being $20 for like 4 blade cartridges that's a lot of dough these are about $5-6 bucks for 3 razors.


2) EVERY OTHER DAY! I repeat EVERY OTHER DAY! I have found that you get a huge increase in nicks and cuts if you save everyday. I shave about every 36-48 hours to keep it slick and smooth. Yes you do get a 5 oclock shadow on your head by the second day but it doesnt clog your razor and its a smooth shave.

3) Shaving cream and/or conditioner always! I have dry shaved for a long time and now I use shaving cream I do not see a difference as far as the closeness of the shave but it keeps your razors free of hair and cleans them out better when you rinse. I use



4) Always move from the front to back until you get to the crown of your head. Then shave from the neck to the crown in that direction for the closest shave. You shouldnt need to apply alot of pressure just enough to keep the blades touching your head obviously.

5) Run your fingers on the opposite hand in front of the blade and follow with the razor. This will let you know where you have been and where you need to shave without having to use a mirror.

6) Sunscreen always! I have experienced a burned head and let me tell you what it hurts like a bitch! Also you wont be able to shave your head for a week or so cause the pain and pressure of the razor on your head will hurt too much!

All in all I hope these help I started to thin out a bit when I was 18 or 19 years old and decided I wasnt fooling anyone. I actually look younger with the bald head then the thinning hair. Once you are bald for a good while people wont even be able to picture you with hair again. Alot of the reduction in nicks and cuts comes with technique and learning really how to handle the razor and which ways you should go and which you should not. I havent had a nick or cut in probably over a year now and when I do its cause I am trying to speed rush shave it and do something careless. Anyways, Good Luck let me know if you got anymore questions.
