[@bmxcommentator]

My head shave routine is: 1. Use an electric rotary shaver to get as close as possible BEFORE I use a blade of any description 2. Apply plenty of hot water, then use a pre shave facial wash on my head (the same one I use for my face) 3. Rinse with more hot water. 4. Lather up with a decent shave cream and brush and take one section at a time (sides first, than the back, then the crown area and the top is done last. 5. Rinse again with hot water. 6. Check if I've missed anything, repeat shave where required. 7. Rinse with cold water to close the pores. 8. Pat dry with a clean towel. 9. Apply moisturiser all over and work it in. 10. Look awesome all day. The other tips I can give are... - TAKE YOUR TIME - you're not shearing a bloody sheep, enjoy the process. - Use a fresh blade as soon as is necessary. Cuts and pulls come from a dull blade. - Preparation of your head in advance makes for a better, closer shave. Like....way better! - Don't use a shitty mass market shave gel/foam (as per the video) Basic rule of thumb - if you've bought it in a supermarket it's probably crap. It's not hard to find quality stuff that doesn't cost the earth. - Don't skip the moisturiser afterwards. - If you're STILL cutting yourself, spend more time prepping your head. Hope this helps...

Not everybody has the time of day to shave. People have busy lives and can often not be in the mood or have the energy to shave in the first place after a long day, or in the early morning when tired. And I’m speaking from experience. I’ve been shaving twice a week and it’s a BLOODY TIRING PROCESS!! At one point I gave it up because of how time consuming it is! I even have 2 moles on my head which cannot be removed, making the shaving process extremely stressful in case I cut the moles. Balding has literally been the worst thing that’s happened so early in my life, at 22! It just sucks man.

[@loupanella9632]

I am 56 I learn to wet shave the hard way. No one was around to teach me the proper way. Thanks hair loss I started shaving my head going on 20 years. I rediscovered the double edge razor. No, not those cheaply made butterfly razors my dad used. I found some wonderfully made razors from Italy and UK. There is a unlimited brands of blades. While I good shaves on my face I cannot do my head. I would us a pivot disposal for that which is not good for the environment.. I used a tube cream applied with a 💈 brush. I learned quite a bit watching this video! That white submarine sweater you wore at one point is smashing! 👍🏻

[@stephendesrosiers86]

I’ve been shaving my head for 12 years now and the 2 most important tips I can give is....(1) Always shave in the shower and (2) Wait 2-3 days in between shaves. If I shave my head on Sunday, I won’t shave it again till Tuesday or Wednesday. I get a MUCH better shave as the hair will be nice a soft. The stubble is way too dense(for me) to shave every day. Crazy skin irritation! Also, I’ve never heard of shaving with hair conditioner, but I’ll be trying that out tomorrow!

[@atillaozturk7075]

I always use mach 3 razors on my head during summer Perfect shave. I tell ya its worth paying a bit more👍👍

[@dflosounds]

+1 for the conditioner. I had pretty decent success with Cremo for a while, but I've been using conditioner since the first time I tried it about half a year ago. I don't think it's a magical solution by any means (you still need a good razor/blades/technique), but most of the cut/irritation-free shaves I've experienced were done with conditioner.

[@ДенисЕрмилов-щ5с]

Very useful. Thanks. I started to do wet shaving and I love it!

[@NorsePJ]

I find using a tea tree conditioner instead of shaving foams and creams makes a big difference. Also, to avoid shaver bumps, shave with the grain and not against it. You don't need to shave that close, as the next day there's already prickly hair again. Instead, just go for the shaved look with the grain, which you can actually do more often without, as I said, shaver bumps, but also far less skin irritation. Just my 2 cents. 😁

[@anthonykendall6267]

The prep and taking your time are the biggest things. Also sharp blades. Another thing like you said temporarily leave the world behind and concentrate/enjoy the shave.

[@old_arsed_eldergoth2800]

I can't stress enough how important that you go slow when shaving. (head, face, whatever) Not only does it reduce the chance of getting cut, but it's also MUCH better for your skin. Another good tip for shaving close that I've found, is to shave with the direction of your hair growth first, and then against the direction. Also, if your shaving mirror is fogging up in the shower, try wetting it first, then applying just a little soap to it (not enough to cause a film obviously, and if it does, just rinse it a little) be sure to rinse all the soap off before leaving so you don't get a build up. Great video!

That beardstache thing you've got going on looks really good! If you don't have a beard you can probably get away with not using a mirror when shaving in the shower at all. I usually leave the parts around the sideburns and do these outside of the shower.

Thanks for this. Already doing most of these tips already. But before I did a razor shave I went to a dermatologists because I had several moles that would get in the way of shaving. Recommend getting a mole check anyway but while you are at it get moles removed if they are at risk of getting nicked.

[@dangiampietro6606]

All these are great points, and I'm glad this channel exists for so many guys out there who could use the wisdom, and help. Here's a couple things I personally recommend to anyone willing to read this. 1. I would urge caution to NOT.. OVER stretch the skin, as that can promote in grown hairs. Just stretch enough to flatten the skin. 2. This one is more preference, but in my years of shaving the dome(since spring of 2007) I've found an artisanal shave soap is truly one of the best lubricating products anyone can use. Great for the skin, and the level of glide and protection is incredible. 3. If you have anything over 36 hours of growth, consider making the first pass with the grain. Rinse, re-lather, than go against the grain. The first pass with the grain is very easy to plow through the initial stubble, making subsequent passes more effortless by comparison.

[@PapaBeastyy]

First of all thank you for this channel. I shaved my head months ago and haven't looked back yet :) Thank you for the tips as always. I have an unfortunate problem with acne on my scalp though, at age 27 :/ which makes using blades a problem. A tip for guys who also have this problem: stop touching your head! It seems super "well duh." But seriously it changed the game for my head acne. I went from having 15-30+ pimples on my scalp to less than 5-10 in just a few weeks, just from refusing to touch my scalp anymore. Stay beautiful bald kings 🤴

[@kuksiBG]

""be present when you shave that zone"" in general one always should be present in any grooming or cosmetic activity. It detatches you from reality and makes you happy. Stay present (in general) but this is one of the times when you actually notice the value of being present :) P.S no hippie cliche stuff, just facts yo! Oh, I forgot to mention that I actually bought that razor because of your videos, and I actually managed to cut myself (I bought the Astra Platinum blades) so that guided me to that video :D

[@slimkt]

Ironically, a great hack for stopping your mirror from fogging is to buff it with shaving cream (the foam variety.) Saves money on the anti-fog mirror and gives a second life to those cheap shaving creams when folks inevitably switch over to a quality shaving cream.
