You know you’re embracing adulthood when you stop watching that much meme/funny videos, and start watching more grooming videos, like this one. This is just gold, man. Fortunately my hair grows thick and full, though I like it better how I look bald, will give the conditioner shaving a try, my regards from México 🇲🇽
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Drake Billy Instablaster =)
@Briggs Gibson thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Briggs Gibson it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Drake Billy Glad I could help xD
I really can’t thank you enough. No razor burns, no cuts, not even bumps any more. Thank you so much for the conditioner advice, I really appreciate it.
After trying shaving with conditioner 6 times already no razer burn or cuts,, thanks awesome tip.

Your beard looks like the God Of War beard, I am very envious. Also, the white in your beard looks badass.
I've been watching your vids to build up the courage to shave my head. Thanks a million for the great info man.
I just finished shaving my head for the first after watching this video. No cuts, no razor burn and I didn’t even miss anything. Great advice! Thanks so much! Just wished I decided to go all bald earlier. Love it👍
It certainly changes things, doesn't it?
How was it ? Did you have bumps?
I have been wanting to completely shave my head for a long time & watched your video & finally done it. I followed how you do it & didn't cut myself or get razor burn! It feels awesome!! Thank you Greg for a great how to video!

Hey Greg, this video and your technique has completely restored my faith in wet shaving my head. I have been shaving my head for a year, I have quite sensitive skin and was almost going to give it up and settle with a buzz cut but since trying out your technique the results have been amazing with no irritation. So thanks for that, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for your honesty Greg. Keep that great channel going!
Shaving my head for the first time tomorrow I have been using Remington skull shaver since Christmas but finally decided to go to the final stage, bought bottle of quality conditioner today so all set.
Thanks Greg for the advice.
Forgot to mention Greg I am in the UK so your advice goes Worldwide.
I have been able to get the conditioner make that you recommend in a local supermarket.
I would suggest to put a plug in the sink and fill it a little with hot water and then use an old toothbrush to clean in-between the shaving strokes. This saves on water wastage.
i got the same hairline, just started shaving my head few weeks ago.. i love it now ! took a few days to get used to it.. but yes...women find it very attractive
Been using beard trimmer, no guard, for awhile. Finally used razor today and your method works perfect! Love your videos. Will be using beard vids once mine gets long enough! Thanks!
Thanks to you and Bald Cafe for giving me the strength to completely shave my head 🙏
I'm a head shaver myself. I began shaving my head when I went bald back about 8 years ago and it's made things easier. I enjoy it personally and I, like you, get a lot of questions about doing it and a lot of people are surprised that I shave my head. They can't believe I just use a razor.
Same here. I recently started shaving my head and my family is just like “wtf why, but yeah it does look really good lol”
But they can’t understand why a 24 year old guy who can grow a full head of hair shaves it. It’s just so freeing and the best feeling in the world. I have more confidence when I’m bald because I just look more badass lol. Now I just need to work on my patchy beard and pray to the beard gods that my genetics start shifting for the more hairy side of things lol.
You are so professional in the way you speak I have never heard you say a bad word once keep up the excellent work
I’m a subscriber of yours. I’m 38 and I’ve been shaving my head for at least 8 years about twice a week. Great tips. I had the same irritation issue when I first started shaving and it went away on its own after a while. I do love the conditioner tip I’ve never tried that and will next time I shaved my head. Great videos and great content man!
Did it and it worked beautifully. Thanks greg
I am 23 and have recently started shaving my head with a razor. I was balding pretty badly and just got really annoyed with it. This was very helpful man. I used conditioner the other day and although I didn't go against the grain, I got a very good looking shave out of it. Thank you!!
I'm glad the video helped. It sounds like you did the right thing. Thanks for watching!
I am so glad that I found this video I shave my head bald two weeks ago and ended up with a really bad razor burn
my head was swollen in the front .
I had to nurse it back to health finally I was able to use the Clippers on it this morning.
I am definitely going to follow your tips on your video thank you very much
Been shaving my head for 15 years, and I won't go back to shaving gel now I've tried the conditioner tip! Thanks very much!😁👍
This is one of the best beards Ive ever seen
Thx for this video. Very simple and to the point. I'm looking at shaving my head. This will help alot.
You are a beautiful bald man and you know it. Just shaved my head for the first time today, and I'm digging the look.
I do mine pretty much the same way. Thanks for the tutorial.
I’ve been contemplating shaving my head for the last couple of weeks, I’m losing my hair from chemo and woke up this morning with a bunch of tiny hairs covering my pillow and finally decided to just get it over with haha. I was pretty scared of cutting the shit out of myself though, I shaved it once when I was younger for shits and giggles and I pretty well mangled the shit out of my head, but then I watched this video and realized why. Thanks for the video! I’ll be trying this today, hopefully with much better results!
I wish you the best, my friend!
Thanks for the video. I bought the same lotion for my head and love it! After my first day with a shaved head, I went to the park for a long walk and to get some sun on my head, now it's perfect.
Mate I’ve try the conditioner as you mentioned it’s was just WOW no more bloody razer burn or cuts love It . I just want to say keep the good work and big thanks for the tips.
What conditioner do you use bro?
I've just watched and would like to say thanks for taking the time to do this... I will be doing this from now on!
Amen brother!!!! Very low maintenance!!! Been rocking it for over a decade now and love it
First time shaving and the conditioner worked like a charm! Thanks for your help making this initiation easier
Wow, great video and for me a learning experience. I’ve been shaving my head the last two weeks and was doing it wrong. I didn’t know about conditioner and I always assumed hair grew backwards. Thank you for helping me
this guy is a master at his craft, you came to the right video
Awesome video! I’m a women but I love having my head shaved and after shaving with just a regular machine I’m really interrelated I’m giving it a go with razors, I feel this video has given me a lot of really good help on the way to becoming smooth and not hurt in the process.
It is so refreshing to hear from a woman! Let me know how it goes, I'd be curious. I hope it helps.
Greg Boswell sorry for the first post I was really tired and autocorrect wasn’t helping much😅 But now for some fun news: my heads clean shaved! I got the Gillette Mach 3 turbo and the same brand of conditioner that you use (tho I couldn’t get tee-tree so I went for coconut instead) and I looked at your video as I was shaving. The hardest part was the back of the head where the hairs grow in a twirl, just as you said. And also the top of my head until I realised that I needed to shave that in an angle since my hairs there didn’t grow exactly from back to front but in a little tiny angle. The hardest part then was the last shaving, getting all the tiny rough-spots and the hardest places there was around my neck. I was so so nervous at the beginning but now I’m really happy and I will continue in shaving with a razor. A question: how to protect the scalp from sun-damage. Do you use any sunlotion or such? I live in Sweden but this summer the heat is almost unbearable and I’m afraid I’ll burn my precious head.
Awesome tips, i will try on next shave
I recently, like three days ago, shaved bald and was so nervous my hands were literally shaking when I held the clippers. I get tattoos without batting an eye, but for some reason the idea of shaving my head was terrifying. Anyway, I did it because I also hated my receding hairline, and I instantly loved it shaved in a way I had never liked getting a haircut. Anyway, even if my head isn't perfectly rounded(and who's really staring at my head long enough to notice anyway besides me and my spouse) I feel way more confident with it shaved than trying to style hair that I honestly didn't like at all anyway. Thanks for this video, it was very informative .
Thank you. I'm going to do it for the first time in a few minutes. Clear steps. Edited: I followed your suggestions and style. Yeah, I bled a little bit, and I went going in thinking "I'll look horrible." Blood and awsome. Thanks
Thanks I learned a lot from your video never thought to use conditioner..
Thanks for the great video, found it very helpful. Cheers!
Great video, thx a lot. I just shaved my head for the first time. I was very insecure if I should do it. After i was done I felt amazing! I had really long hair, and I am not losing any, but I just wanted to change my style and see how it feels. To be honest, I dont know if I should let grow my hair ever again. This was one of my best decisions in 2020 ;).
This was great. I've been shaving head for a few years but only started going completely bald about a year & a half ago. I'm going to try the conditioner I think that's a great idea. I completely agree used safety razors for a bit but the gillette is my option as well usually don't get cut or the sensitive skin issue as much.
This is actually such a good video lol Another point is that I think its lower maintenance to have a wet shave than a dry trimmer to zero.
Really helpful, thank you!
Great tips - finally bit the bullet and shaved the dome and it turned out great! Maybe some followup tips on how to care for a shaved head?
Some of the best tips I’ve came across yet. Been shaving my head since I was about 19 I’m 36 now but still would get razor burn on the back of my neck sometimes. Thanx
If you are using a cartridge razor try a de razor. Less blades is better.
Thanks for this, shaved my head with a razor for the first time and used conditioner like you suggested. I didn't get any razor burn :-). I didn't shave it twice however, as I was a bit concerned about going against the grain since it's the first time. Cheers, Dan
Great tips. I took the plunge tonight and your advice was great to hear for a first time bald shave. Everything went smooth till my wife and daughter laughed afterwards.
I’ve been shaving my head for a long time. I use Dove soap. No razor burns and extremely baby smooth feel.
Greg, I just wanted to say that this is the best video I have seen for head shaving. I just started to shave my head after years of male pattern baldness and so far, I really like the look and hopefully the ladies will too! Even though I have been using a conditioner, I am beginning to get some razor burn, but it is because it is in an area on the top of my head that is difficult to shave because as you mentioned, the hair grows in different directions. Since I have had some razor burn, would you suggest that I wait a few extra days to give the skin a chance to recover?
This is an awesome video. Thank you. I have wanted to shave my head for years for the reason you describe--I hate my front hairline. I am not balding but have had a prominent widow's peak all my life--it may be slightly more prominent as I've gotten older but not at all balding. I've had the front lined up a few times and like that look better but within a day or so it's growing back and looks dumb. Most of the men I know who shave are encouraging but just say, "it's easy....just do it." Your instructions are very good. I agree with you that most men look great with a shaved head--I like bald heads much more than hair on most men. I never knew, though, that a man who is not balding naturally can achieve as close a shave as you do. It's perfectly slick. And, by the way, your beard is awesome and looks perfect with the bald head.
RJ Carter Hey RJ, thanks for watching my video! If you decide to go through with shaving your head, let me know. Be prepared, it will take a week, maybe, for the color of your head to catch up with your face. I probably should have spoken about that. Here's another piece of advice - initially, people may be shocked that you did it and, because they don't know how to react (or be an adult), they may laugh at first. Do what I did - laugh with them. It shuts them down real quick when you mirror them. Good luck and thanks for the compliments! 👍
Great pre first timer talk. Keep you posted bro 🙏😄👌🏼
Great tips . Worked well . Manu thanks bro . My new life of baldness is here
I usually make just one pass going against the grain when I shave my head, although my hair is not nearly as thick as yours, and I generally shave every other day or every 3 days
hi john herethanks for the excellent advice was getting alot of razor burn gonna try it the same way you did it in video thanks
I gave up shaving my head after cutting myself several times and have been using an electric razor. I saw your video and decided to try it with my wife's conditioner and a new Bic disposable I had. Wow! The Bic did not give me the closest shave but the razor just glided over my head, no nicks or cuts. I ordered some of the conditioner you recommended and a new razor. Thank you
That's great, I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for the tips!!!
Excellent video, thank you very much... greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Great videos. I just started shaving my head. My hair started thinning in the front instead of going with a short hair cut I went all in and razor shaved it. I started to grow a short beard with the bald look and I like it.
I had to switch to electric foil razors to shave my head..I am super prone to razor bumps and sadly just simply cant use a traditional wet razor. takes a bit longer but i use electric shave lotion and it seems to work great!
Checking out head shave channels. I have buzz cut mine since barbers are closed. I will shave my head for the first time now. Also, first time growing a full beard. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Came back to say... 4:55 Be sure to get this specific color and ingredients of this conditioner. I got the light green bottle by mistake and it felt like my scalp was on fire every time I used it. I now have this same bottle and it is great. No more headfires.
Thanks a lot. This is a great channel and you are a great person.
Thank you 😊
Thanks Greg, and thanks for the post on Reddit :). Awesome beard too, mine has some of those weird white hairs in it now too 😐
I like your videos. I m shave my head 2 a week,with Gillette fusion proglide flexball manual and mach3 turbo.good shave and good video
OMG Dude, I was skeptical as I just started shaving my head regularly last year and still had a problem with shaving, This worked so easy and so quick I couldn't believe it. This is great. I did have one cut but that's okay I was able to get it smooth in about 15-20 minutes out of the shower so I think in the shower that might go quicker. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
That's great to hear!
The cutting stopped for me once I started holding the blade instead of the handle. It's so much easier to avoid cuts when you can feel the head moving.
Looking real good ive just started to shave my head. 😊
What a Great video!
I previously tried with shaving soap and it didn't work. I used a shampoo/conditioner as it was the only thing I had on hand; and it worked perfectly. I agree that the more blades, the better. I tried with a safety razor and it just generally doesn't cut into the hair very well compared to a 4 bladed razor.
Yo man. Thanks for the vid. I’ve been hurting the CRAP out of my head!!! BTW, sounds like we live in the same area of FL!
Yes sir. Gotta love being a bald man. I haven't gone razor short yet, been using the clippers unguarded for over 20 years. After this cup of coffee I'm raiding my wife's conditioner. Wish me luck 😁
It was a success. Now I gotta work on putting some shape in this beard. I'm looking like a pale version of kimbo slice 😀
Very nice beard , thanks for the advice
Thank you!
I really appreciate this video man, I think I need to shave my head sooner or later and the thought of it is stressful AF. My wife was asking if I can try it I've cut my hair super short but saving just feels crazy. I'm gonna have to go for it lol.
great video. awesome beard
Tried the HeadShave razor? It’s pretty neat in the shower. I use a straight razor myself, but that’s not for everybody
Low maintenance is my primary focus.
hi greg john here followed the video used my leaf razor love that teatree conditioner turned out excellent
That's great to hear!
Hello Greg. Great Video. Quick question. How many times do you use each blade before replacing it and what is the procedure for cleaning the blade after each use. Thanks in advance.
Good lad. Going to go shave it for the 2nd time… hopefully this one a lot less painful
Great video and insane beard kind sir ! ps. you seem like a great guy, felt those good vibes.
Thank you
Store your razor in a jar with some rubbing alcohol in it. It will keep the blades sharper for longer and they also stay nice and clean.
I use conditioner myself, but washing the smell of it off can be a little annoying so its best not to use too much. I've found that applying the shaving solution to your blade beforehand is an effective way of preventing burn.
Thanks so much.
👍 thanks for tips, going to try the conditioner on next shave, 😁 ✌
Very good shave. I like Gillette mach3 turbo and fusion
Thank for the tip on using conditioner. You are right it is so much better. Yes , I have cut my head a few times. Esp when changing hands not focusing on how I am holding the razor. You are so right you cannot be in a hurry- I nick myself really good. I am learning and I see what you guys go through - you make it look so easy. Hahahahahahah. We woman go through other things. :) It is also hard to know when razor needs to be changed. I lost hair at the top in the middle , I don't like sew in or wigs. I cut hair down and a months ago I shaved my head and like it better. Well thank you so much for your video and words or wisdom. I ordered and try the omnishaver --- I do like it and it is fast and a little easier. I got it from Amazon and I watched on UA-cam. Thank you
other than the conditioner this is exactly how I do it. I will try some conditioner later this week. Great video
Thanks, man!
I had a lot of trouble getting the pressure right my first time. A lot of work from hair to dome. I think the next time I might get it right. Virgin dome. 42.
Hi Greg - do you use Brazilian keratin smooth conditioner in your beard as I've come across other beard 'experts' claiming most definitely not to do this and only use specific beard products
Thank you.
Thanks. It works great shaving with conditioner and stays slick throughout shaving. I just started shaving the head down to the skin and I think I’ll do it more often since I love my head bbs.
Also, do you dye your beard?
Vince Nicholas Great, I'm so glad it worked for you! No, I don't dye my beard and I can't ever imagine doing so. I think gray and salt and pepper beards look awesome!
Finally, a real advice from a real man. Thanks buddy!
What razor are you using in the video? I like the shape of the handle compared to others.
Thanks, man! You've just made my life a lot easier. A conditioner! Who would have thought about it? Greetings from Poland
That’s great to hear!
Great video, great tips... I have a similar hairline. Sides grow fine, top slower and thinner. With this Covid-19 bs going on I figured this is the best time to try since barbershops are closed. Use this $1 conditioner from Dollar tree, works fine. Started Monday April 20, and this morning Thursday 23 was my third time shaving this week and so far smooth, no cuts, "SLIGHT" razor burn at beard line... I did my line as you did but it's so slight that I'm thinking after a few times skin will get use to it and be fine. I watched a few other people but ended up subscribing to your channel. Shaving tips, and beard tips are amazing. (Hopefully job will adjust beard policy to longer length). Much appreciated tips
I used to shave my head, but I was always missing spots because I have a knot and divot on my head due to my shunt and scar from that operation.
AAWESOME BEARD man!
I can relate with the hairline. I look much better bald. Ooh Rah, man
Should have looked for this first.. my head hurts bad right now :(
Great video
Your big beard is phenomenal
Thanks!
