@swaggachild81 Hi. I know that razor bumps can be an issue but I've shaved my head almost every day since the summer and fortunately haven't had a problem so far. My hair was pretty straight before I shaved it off though so I guess that's why. These days I just shave my head front to back so the top is shaved against the grain and the back shaved with the grain.
Can I just ask - when you start shaving your head with an actual razor blade and gel - does that mean, that you can never go back to an electric shave? - because I would imagine the razor blade would sharpen and toughen the hairs up - that you could no longer go back to an electric shave?
@Rob23 I don't think it makes any difference. I've never shaved my head with an electric shaver but I can't see why I wouldn't be able to after shaving it with a razor and shaving gel. Hair is hair whether it's on your head or on your face and either a razor or electric shaver will always take it off.
Excellent video, pleased to see your sticking with the shaved head, good to see you lathering up with a shaving brush too. What brush and shaving soap/cream do you use?
@whiskersandfeelers Hi - It's an Edwin Jagger handmade synthetic bristle brush (not badger fur) with a natural aloe vera and sandalwood shaving cream from the same company. I use hot water and it produces a really soft, creamy lather. The razor was just a standard Gillette Mach 3 :)
Your lucky you have straighter hair because the way you shave if you were black or something you would have hella razor bumps
