    I have been shaving my head for at least 5-10 years. I always used shaving cream. I recently switched from 5 blades on my head to a two blade (that actually gives me a closer shave). The thing that gets me the absolutely closest shave was following your advice of using hair conditioner. I didn't think this would work, and fully expected it to clog my razor like shaving oil does. WHAT A GREAT TIP!! I also agree about shaving just twice a week too. Anything more than that and the problem areas on my scalp can't handle it!

    3 days in between shaving (or 2 times a week) would also be best for me. My "problem" is that I have almost no hair left at the top so I don't like my look two days after shaving. "Have" to wear a cap then or accept some skin irritation. Stubbles look good at you.
    Thanks for the tip with the conditioner. I used shaving foam for years but a few days ago I switched to shaving creme (with only natural ingredients) and I like it a lot. It's very good for my skin too and the skin does not burn afterwards!

    Hi Greg! Greetings from Argentina. Great videos and great tips. I started shaving a week ago. I had a lot of trouble with the back of my head, I got some pretty bad razor burns and cuts. I had to ask somebody else to finish it. When I took a shower it really burned.
    I also had touble with the hair behind the ears. But now I watch your videos.
    I am going to try the conditioner and follow your instructions. I'll let you know how it went.

Maybe the power doesn’t do anything but I feel it makes it glide better. Thanks again for the tip.

    Hi Greg, I’m so glad that I found your video.
    I’ve been trying to get rid of razor burn & bumps for years, using one blade, two blade, 5 blades, a double edge safety razor, along with different shaving foams, gels and soaps with not much success.
    You’re the first person I’ve come across that recommended using conditioner. I ordered the one you’re using and the difference is night and day! My neck hasn’t looked this great in years. Less irritation, bumps and burns. This’ll also serve for when I shave my head in a few years. It doesn’t seem as daunting anymore!
    Thanks again, I’ll continue using conditioner from now on and I wish you and your wife all the best.

    Hey! Y'all know all those crazy stories about how people watch one video and then do something crazy? Yep, this was that video! Thanks Gregg.
    It came out pretty well. It was a struggle though. My head was tired just from multiple passes with a trimmer. My first go with a gillette and dove(because it's 10000% moisturizer) didn't go. I had to wash my head and use the trimmer to get even shorter. Then I figured shaving your head maybe wasn't so easy. I watched this video and my next attempt(using Free & Clear conditioner) went much better. I didn't get all the hair off. I still have a little stubble. I'm somewhere between your first and second pass even though I did two passes. But I listened to my new dome. It said it was tired. I'm glad I did. Later that day my head hurt a little. Just when it was touched, and only in a few spots. No bumps.
    TBH, a lot of people told me things like I had enough hair for x,y,z. But after taking a lot of selfies of my head, something you should do if you're still reading, I decided I was not just a man in denial, but a man who is beginning to look like he's in denial. This look goes on for decades in my family, who are all in shock right now having heard the news. "ALL, did you say?"
    I stepped down several times to get a real good look at what I could do if I kept it real short. Looked terrible. I never knew what to do to my hair, though I always wanted long headbanger or medival lord hair that never worked out. More denial. After everything my head went though day before yesterday, I have to say I look more normal and planned than any haircut since I was in high school. I'm actually hoping the change helps me remember myself. As we have all been tested by the 'rona. As Steven King has said "remember the face of your father." It's odd how I thought the bald head might help me remember the buddhists in their calm, but instead is more like the... Objective and subjective masculinity one feels when the beard gains it's own personality. Idk yet, but it feels like 10 minutes twice a week is going to be a meditation on the intent of self.
    Your choice of script, or free form, is excellent. It's clear you've thought a lot about this topic, and I think we all appreciate the input during what is kind of a scary time.
    I'm going to go watch the how not to get razor burn, I'm pretty sure that was yours.

      @PlumbDrumb 3 роки тому +2

      The OneBlade is stunning! I hadn't heard of that before. Sometimes more blades can prevent the hairs from standing up for a proper cut so I can see the benefit with a single edge.

    I've been shaving my head for about 18 years now. I do it it basically 3-5 minutes. Just a good shaving cream and a good razor. Not that hard.
    The part that I love is that I used to be so picky about my hair took a long time trying to make it right and it was thinning. Then it hit the point where you could see the balding so I went F**k it and buzzcut it and then the day after just shaved it clean. Haven't looked back since and no more taking time to fix the hair or go to a barber. Literally just 3-5 minutes with a razor and I'm done.
    I would shave it even if I had hair, because how simple it is.
