I use a hot cloth b4, then afterwards I shower so that I can wash my head, but I then run as cool as I can stand it over my head, after I’m out & my head air dries I use the post shave balm by van der hagen, & gelet shave gel! I don’t shave it all year round just @ the beginning of spring & through the summer months! This yr will be my 3rd yr doin so! So some helpful hints or maybe some constructive criticism would be good! Rude or assholish criticism I won’t care 4! I luv 2 shave my head so any kind of HELPFUL ideas would be great on different kinds of products 2 use!

Thanks so much for the video. I have been considering shaving my head because of male-pattern baldness and I like how you mentioned taking one's time while shaving. That makes a lot of sense!

Great tips man, thanks for the video!

Great tip , covered all the problems and actually had real solutions for them, all my questions were answered here. Thank you and have a nice lifetime.

Thanks for the video. I'm the furthest thing from balding but I love shaving my head at the start of every summer.

gotta love that cool rain drizzle on fresh shaved head...

Fortunately my father and I have good genes in the matter of hair, he's 60 and his hair is still jet black (almost no silver hairs at all), thick and has no balding patterns yet, and thankfully he passed me those genes. However, for the sake of a video I did recently, I decided to shave my head bald. And you know what? I love it: shaving my head is as relaxing as those mini Zen gardens; I feel much more fresh now and I get to sport cool hats; I see myself younger and taller, and also people don't address me like a child anymore, they address me respectfully like an adult man. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips and tricks, I've been _bald_ only for a week now, but I already agree with you: tried the double mirror thing, it's just easier to master the Touch-Approach. Regards from México!

I use head slick from the company Headblade as a pre shave for added slickness and then use whatever soap and brush from my collection that I am in the mood for. I have been shaving my head for over a month now and I love it. I had an advantage since I have been DE shaving now for 3 years. Two days ago, I grabbed my R41 instead of my R89 and needless to say, I didn't figure out what was going wrong until after the fact. Had I known what I grabbed, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Just started shaving smooth last 5 months. Always went for 5-6 blades. Thanks for advice about 1 blade. Will try asap!

Those are really nice tips. Thanks

Absolutely true on the advice re: double-edge razor. A DE razor, with only one blade per side, requires only the weight of the razor (as opposed to pressure) to perform the cutting. Difference is night and day. Good luck!

I did a Corona Cue Ball because I couldn't visit a stylist. Love it!

You look great man!

Thanks for the video, was some good tips. I'm still learning how to do this without my head getting super sore, or the whole shaving routine taking forever. I end up just buzzing it without a guard instead, which is easier but doesn't look as good, imo. I think the reason it bleeds more easily on the head is because the heart has to pump the blood extra hard/fast in the upwards direction, to defy gravity, and we even have extra big veins (arteries) in the neck to help with that. So like basically there's higher blood pressure in all the veins on the head, so blood comes out faster there when cut or otherwise injured. I dunno why it stings more there, some say they're less sensitive there, others say they're more sensitive. So that's probably just individual.

Shaved my head for the first time at 16, grown out my hair a couple times (not balding) since then, and 8 years later I still enjoy shaving my head every couple days far more than investing in a hair routine and never finding a bottle of shampoo and conditioner that don't make my hair feel horrible and cost less than $50 together.

Gahh Damn Legend!! 😎💪🏼 Appreciate the video!!

It probably depends on your skin type. Lots of guys tend to have oily skin up on their head (and especially on the nape of the neck). With that in mind, I usually do a combination of aftershave balm and an alcohol/witch hazel splash. Lots of options.

Great video! Started shaving my head with a razor a few weeks ago. Been using a 4 blade cartridge type with wheels on the end(won’t name names lol) but thinking of trying a safety razor as the cartridge type are so expensive! How often should you change the blade out on a safety razor?

Our head is more vascular, thus bleeds more. Thanks for the video Scott. I have been considering starting to shave my head. I cut my own hair very short with clippers now, but may make the plunge. God bless you.

Great video, Mr. Scott. The timing is right, since I'm thinking on shaving my head today or someday next week. Been wanting for a while. I've also heard putting a towel wet with hot water on it makes for an easier shave, since it opens up the follicles or something. Don't worry, I know about the cold and the sunburns.

Interesting and informative video, TCS. Regarding head wounds and bleeding, I think that's mainly got to do with pressure. Skin on your head is of course stretched over bone (the skull) pretty much directly, which goes to say that there is little to no tissue seperating the skin from the skull. This results in relatively high pressure, which will in turn result in head wounds bleeding profusely as well as head wounds being generated easily in sports such as boxing and football/soccer, where a slight bump may cause the skin to burst open.

Great insights! Thanks!

If you get a chance to try them, L and L Grooming post shave linament is really amazing. I have a Mohawk with tattoos on the side which is the only reason I shave my head. I sometimes let it go quite a while between shaves and if I wait a while I absolutely have to do a two pass shave but when it's short I do one pass ATG too. Because I have the Mohawk, I like to keep the edges really clean and I have to have a mirror, so I have a wall mounted extendable arm adjustable mirror that's pretty priceless but was relatively cheap. Much props to you for being able to do your had without a mirror. Also, for anyone else who might be new to head shaving, the de razor is really the way to go. Cartridges clog so easy and cost so much money. I used to have to use clippers between shaves and now I don't. And there's a blade in both sides, so if it does get clogged up just flip it over and keep going. Half as much time taken of your shave routine by that alone.

Great video, thanks for the tips. The reason your head bleeds so much compared to other parts of the body is simply because the head is extremely vascular compared to the rest of the body.

Fantastic video! I tried to use a safety razor twice and cut myself badly but i was rushing it. Imma give it a go again because these cartridge razors are giving me razor bumps like crazy & leaving too much stubble.

Cuts on your head tend to bleed more because the skin is thinner and the blood capilaries are very close to the surface of the skin to help regulate body temperature. You loose the majority of your body temperature from your head because of this, hence why most new head shavers fibd themselves feeling the cold so much for the first few weeks. Hope that helps Scott, another excellent video keep them coming brother!

hairycueball you are everywhere!! You clearly have a fetish for bald men and seeing them shave their scalps...

I've been shaving my head since I was 17 due to sports and then later on. The military. Here's the one trick nobody knows except for hardcore shavers and people in the medical field. Disinfect your blade after each use. Hot water and soap is not sufficient to kill germs and can damage your razor with rust. Your blade won't turn orange if you leave out your razor to dry in your bathroom once or three times but the microscopic beads of water left on the bevel of the blade can cause havoc on shaving. To disinfect your blade and prevent rust. Take 70% isopropyl alcohol and pour some in a cup. DO NOT USE 91% or greater alcohol. Any cup. It doesn't matter. My favorite is a standard red party cup. Soak your blade in it. Doesn't matter if you use cartridge or a DE blade. You have 2 choices at this point. Leave it for 2 minutes and take it out, or you can leave it soaking until it's time to use it again. If you have a cartridge razor, it will obliterate the moisterizing strip, But that's okay. You should be using a high quality shave soap, gel, or foam anyways if you are going to be taking a razor to your head. Disinfecting your blade solves almost 80% of irritation, ingrowns, and infections. If you want be OCD about it, you can use the 70% isopropyl alcohol as an aftershave to fully disinfect your head AFTER you've shaven. Your head will be dryer than a raisin but that's why you buy a good moisterizer. You always moisterize after shave. Everybody knows that. I shave my head daily as it's part of my routine and haven't had discomfort or burns in years.

How often should/can you shave you're head?

Very important for begginers: before going out, put some sunblock cream on your head. It doesn't matter if you live in a cold/cloudy area: UV light will do its work and now you don't have hair to protect you. After two weeks or so, you can stop using sunblock. The first time I shaved my head, I got real nasty sunburns all over my skull (I live near the coast). You don't want that, believe me...

I use a electric shaved first and then a hot towel to clean the head and then a triple blade shaver. I can never get a bbs feel on the back of my head, drives me crazy! When my hand goes up the back of my head I can feel the stubble and I hate that. Is that where the single blade works better?

Thanks. It probably has something to do with the pigment of your hair, but I think it's also related to how often it's shaved. Give it time and you'll get there.

Which DE razor and blade you use? I always use cartridge razors for women. They’re more lubricated and have 3 blades.

Where did you get those cool glasses ?

I am scared of DE’s, I mess up the angle and cut myself. Is single edge easier and safer? If so, supply or oneblade?

Great video Scott. I've been shaving my head for quite a few years. We don't do it quite the same way but I still think your tips are all good. For instance, I don't go against the grain on my head (it just doesn't like it) so I do 2 passes, wtg and xtg.

I have the same problem you have with the nape of your neck (oily skin), but all over mine, and again like you I'd rather do less passes on my head. My touch is light with a DE, I use a shavette on my face pretty much all the time, so it has to be. To be honest, I'm quite happy doing the 2 passes on my head, and leaving the 3 passes and the near bbs finish for my face. A good question about the razor and blades, I like sharper blades but I'm thinking of getting a more efficient razor, I tend to be lazy and just use an "oh so simple" DE89 on my head. If I do get something with a bit more bite, I'll let you know how I get on and whether I can change my method. Thanks again for the video, really good tips for we head shavers !
