Best Head Shaving Products 2012

A good head shaving razor must not only be sharp and safe, it also must be easy to manipulate because you are taking care of a difficult area that you can't normally see it with the help of a mirror.

Although for many years men have shaved with common razors, they aren't really the best alternative to shave your scalp.

If this is your first time with a head shaving razor, be sure to practice a few times with the cover protection on to get the idea of how you need to shave and get the appropriate hand motion.

A good razor must be paired with a great head shaving cream if you want to get the best results from shaving your head. The best head shaving cream must help you shave easier, softening your hair, and at the same time it must nurture and protect your scalp.

When we talk about creams we are also including head shaving gels which in my opinion are the best choice for shaving your head. Why? They are clear and leave less of a mess than creams. Take a look at the best products out there below:

BEST HEAD SHAVING CREAM 2011

#1 Bold for Men - Dry Shave Gel

#2 HeadSlick Shave Cream, Mentholated

#3 Clear Shave Gel for Head and Face by Bald Guyz

A moisturizer is an essential item to use when you shave your head and after you finish cleaning your scalp. Shaving is an activity that always strips away part of the natural moisture of the skin, leaving it "tight" and dry, so we must recover it by using these products.

Even though there are not many alternatives for bald men out there, the available bald head moisturizers are quality products that can even give you SPF protection.

#1 Matte For Men Complete Head Care Lotion

#2 HeadBlade HeadLube SPF 30 Moisturizer

#3 Moisture Gel for The Bald Head Men By Bald Guyz for Men

An important part of bald head care is protecting our scalp from the harmful rays of the Sun, after all, it is one of the most exposed areas of your skin if you are not wearing a hat!

When looking for the best bald head sunscreen, you must look for at least 15 SPF (Solar Protection Factor), or a higher one if you plan to stay outside for a prolonged time.

I take care of my scalp with Headblade's 15 SPF sunscreen (my #1 choice!) and I have never experienced burn or red skin.

Men shave their head for different reasons. While some men opt for this look as their hair starts receding or as bald spots begin to appear, others do it to have a fresh look, or even to have a hair style with zero maintenance.

If you are considering shaving your head, but still are unsure about taking the final steps, ask yourself "Will I be comfortable being bald?". Think about it, and if the answer is yes, that's the only thing you need to start shaving your head.

Additionally, if you want to have a good bald look a good skull shape also helps!

Go ahead and enjoy the freedom of having a bald head look!

-> Plan a good time to shave your head. I shaved my head during my vacations to get accustomed to this new style and to get some tan!

-> Trim your hair before shaving if you want to make things as easy as possible. Use a clipper or have a barber cut your hair to about ¼ inch.

-> Use the best head shaving tools if you want to get the best results.

-> Make sure to clean your head and exfoliate if possible to remove dead cells and make shaving easier. I use the HeadBlade HeadShed Exfoliating Scrub for this purpose.

-> Always use a new blade when shaving your head, this way no hair will be pulled and you'll save some troubles along the way.

-> If you want to avoid having a shiny head, shave with the grain. Shave against the grain for the closest results.

-> Use the head shave gel or lubricant and let it work for a minute before start shaving your head.

-> People with coarse or curly hair may encounter problems when shaving their heads such as ingrown hair and razor bumps. Shaving with the grain can be an alternative or you can use a product to get rid of ingrown hair.

The Headblade Sport Ultimate Head Shave is one of those products that can help you shave your head with ease. If you have shaved your head with a common razor before, you know that they are not exactly the best tools for the job!

At first look, this product may look strange, to me it looks like a yellow toy car (yes, it even has wheels), but a quick read of the instructions included with the razor will make evident that its strange design has a purpose. This is an ergonomic design that facilitates shaving your head and the wheels are aimed at helping you stay on the surface.

Although it was a bit strange using it at first, I quickly got hold of how to use the Headblade. I still have to use the mirror to shave, but with repeated uses you start improving your technique and shaving your head takes less and less time.

The Headblade provides a close enough shave that leaves your scalp looking great and feeling smooth, however if you want that super close shave you will need a triple razor blade. The solution they have for now is a Triple Blade adapter, which will give you better results than common razors.

The makers of the product claim that this is also a great product for shaving your face. I haven't tried that though, as it feels too big to pass it over your face, and well I love my safety razor!

Conclusion: the Headblade is an excellent head shaving razor, perhaps the best one currently available on the market. Coupled with a clear shaving gel, it will help you get rid of the mess of a traditional head shaving session. However for the super close shave, you'll need a triple blade adapter.
