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!
