The Shaving Gear You Need to Man Up…Just Shave It!

Shaving your head bald isn’t giving in to Mother Nature – it’s one-upping her. When you man up & just shave it, you’re taking control of your headspace and refusing to let thinning hair and bald spots define you. One of the many cool things about going bald is that you need a whole lot less care gear to take care of your dome than you do to keep your hair looking good. That said, the best head shaving gear can make the simple task of keeping your bald head looking bad even simpler. The right razor, shaving cream and other accessories can make grooming even more of a breeze than a bald head already is.

Razor

Obviously, the most important piece of gear for the guy who decides to man up…just shave it is the actual shaving implement. Most guys are fanatical about the razor they choose for their shaved heads and they’re not shy about telling you why they choose thing one they do. Skip the cheap, plastic disposable blades and the electric shavers – neither one will give you a good shave. Some bald boys swear by an old-fashioned double-edged shaver, but note that it takes longer to shave with one. Some guys love the shave they get with a triple-edge or quad blade. The very best of the lot, according to many members of Bald Boy Nation, is the HeadBlade, a razor designed especially for shaving your head. The special handle makes it easier to get a good, close shave without tugging and nicking your sensitive scalp.

Shave Cream

Shaving gels and shaving foams are for wusses and pusses, but shave cream is an absolute necessity for shaving your head. A thick, rich shaving cream softens your hair, moistens your scalp and makes the razor glide over your dome without pulling and bumping over the contours. Foam and gels don’t do the job, and have a nasty habit of sliding down your forehead into your eyes. A thick shave cream like Bald boy Mean & Clean Shave it Cream stays put until you shave it away and shaves away clean. You’ll get the right shave the first time when you use Bald boy Shave it cream.

Mirror

The best place to shave your head is in the shower, but that can make it a little tough to see what you’re doing. You can try to shave your scalp by feel, but it’s a whole lot easier if you invest in a decent fog-proof mirror to mount in your shower. You can spend up to $700 on one of these, but one of the best on the market is the Shave Well Fog Free mirror that costs about $10. It hangs on a hook in your shower, can be moved around to any angle you want and is small enough to hold in your hand if you need to get a closer view.

That’s all you really need, though most of the Bald Boy Nation guys opt for a sun-blocking moisturizer to keep your smooth pate from burning. Shaving your head is easy and stays easy, so don’t hold back. Man up…just shave it!

Eight Great Reasons to Man Up & Just Shave It

So you’ve been thinking about shaving your head but you’re just not sure you’re ready to do it. Maybe you think you won’t look good, or your friends and co-workers will make fun of you. Maybe you’ve been playing with the idea of going naked on top, but you just haven’t found a reason that’s good enough to convince you to man up & just shave it. Maybe you just need one more good reason to pull out the old razor and shave cream and join the Bald Boy Nation. Maybe, just maybe one of these reasons will be the one you’ve been waiting to hear.

You’ll Shave Ten Years Off Your Appearance

The color, presence and thickness of hair on a man is one of the major contextual cues people rely on when estimating your age. Thinning hair, gray hair, bald spots and receding hairlines all add years to your appearance. When you man up & just shave it off, you get rid of the tell-tale clues to your age and look up to ten years younger than you do with hair.

Bald Boys Look Tougher

To put it bluntly, Bald Boys are badass. Don’t take my word for it. Look at celebrities with shaved heads and the roles they play. Do you want to tell Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis and Sean Connery that they don’t look tough enough?

Throw Your Comb Away

Shaving your head frees you from the tyranny of bad hair days. You don’t ever have to comb your hair again. You can wear a motorcycle helmet or pull off a sweater without having to fix your hair.

Pocket the Money You Used to Hand the Barber

Shaving your head is a DIY look that’s hard to mess up. You can do your own touch-ups in the shower and pocket a few hundred bucks a year.

Play with Really Cool Manly Grooming Stuff

How about a razor on wheels that looks like a little race car? It’s one of the coolest pieces of men’s head-shaving gear to come along in years. You also get to use great head-grooming stuff like Bald Boy Mean & Clean Shave it Cream, the shaving cream created specifically for shaving your dome.

Save Time in the Shower

Add up all the time you spend taking care of your hair in the shower – shampooing, conditioning, rinsing – then drying and combing when you get out of the shower. When you’re bald, you just soap up and rinse off. You can be in and out of the shower in about five minutes and invest your time in an extra cup of coffee.

Stop Worrying About Hair Loss

When you’re bald by choice, who cares about hair loss? If anything, losing more hair means less head to shave.

You Get to Wear a Cool T-Shirt

Bald Boy, makers of Bald Boy Mean & Clean Shave it Cream also have a whole line of totally bad Bald Boy Nation T-shirts in black and red and skull and flames. It doesn’t get better than that.

There you go. Why are you still sitting here? Man up…just shave it and reap the benefits!

Bald Is Beautiful – Man Up… Just Shave It

If you’re fighting a losing battle against hair loss, you’re not alone. According to the latest statistics from the American Academy of Dermatology, somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 million men and women “suffer” from balding and thinning hair. Everywhere you turn, there are television ads for Rogaine and Minoxidil, hair plugs and hair transplants and other treatments designed to preserve a full head of hair. Men spend billions of dollars a year to save a few strands of hair and regularly make themselves look ridiculous with wigs, toupees and really, really bad comb-overs. We’ve got one message for all of these hair-obsessed guys: bald is beautiful, brother! Man up… just shave it!



There’s a lot to be said for taking the definitive step of shaving your head bald. Let’s start with one simple comparison. Who is more manly – George Costanza or Vin Diesel?



Get the picture? The simple fact is that those strands of thinning hair are, bluntly, unattractive. They make you look old and wimpy. When you man up & just shave it, you become the master of your destiny, no longer a slave to those thinning wisps of hair that mark a loser. In fact, bald heads are so sexy that you’ll find lots of men who could grow a full, bushy head of hair who decide to shear their locks and shave their heads, displaying that glorious skull that stops people in their tracks in awe.



There are other benefits to shaving your head, too. Shaving cream and a razor, for example, are a lot cheaper than Rogaine and hair plugs. You get to look sexier and save money at the same time. How can you argue with that?



You don’t have to worry about bed head, hat head or bad hair days. And while you may have to spend 15 minutes or so a couple of times a week keeping your pate smooth, you get to trade that off with the amount of time you spend grooming, combing, gelling, drying and washing your hair – not to mention the expense of hair styling. You never have to wonder how much you should tip the hair stylist, or whether someone is admiring your hair or wondering if it’s a bad weave.



In fact, your biggest expense when you man up & just shave it is shaving cream. The right shaving cream is important, though. Shaving foams and gels won’t cut it – they slide off your scalp and provide no protection at all. A shaving cream like Baldboy Mean & Clean Shave it Cream is thick, smooth and specially designed for shaving your head. When you decide to man up… just shave it, you can even declare your allegiance to the Baldboy Nation  with a rockin’ T-shirt emblazoned with the Bald to the Bone slogan and a fiery, totally bald, skull.



So show off that gorgeous head structure. Man up…just shave it and join the Baldboy Nation . Freedom from the tyranny of thinning hair can be yours for the cost of a tube of shaving cream.
