Ok so finally retired the some what diminishing hair, been clippering it grade one for a while decided to now razor it. I am now getting a bit if rash at the back of the old nogging so was wondering if any one has any tips on shaving their head and any good shaving gel/ soap I should be using?

I just remove the guard and go a close as I can without Bic'ing it. Then just use head and shoulders to keep it moisturised and stop any dandruff.

same here, i got a rash by bic'ing it, but i find that method to be alot better, also do my face same time, saves shaving it lol

Same here with the clippers - no guard, face twice a week, head once a week.

I HATE shaving mine. I wish it would just go Duncan Goodhew and be done with it.

Have been giving the Bic some thought myself, anything to extend the time I can go between cuts.

I used to get a bad rash when I wet shaved my face but switched to Wilkinson Sword razer which was must better than the Mach 3 I was using at the time (4+ years since my last wet shave though).

Wahl balding clippers are what you need. Without a guard on its almost as close as bicing it.

I don't get it, why do baldies feel the need to close shave off their remaining hair. Speaking as one, I keep my hair cropped short & appreciate the limited warmth it gives me - but to go to the extra effort of close shaving, doesn't make you look any less middle aged & bald so why bother with the extra effort?

I don't do it often, but my wife finds it sexy. That's reason enough.

Can't cope with anything closer than clipper with gaurd off. I never seem to get it short enough to stop it acting like hat velcro and collecting jumper fluff.

I wet shave both chins n bonce everyday with a gillette sensor II and Parmolive cream (sometimes twice if I'm going on a night out) I must be lucky as I've never suffered from rashes etc , I even go against the grain , I just hate stubble and always feel a lot cleaner afterwards. I do get some strange looks when camping with a full head of lather rasping away .

close cut with clipper guard off for me. I find women tend to love rubbing the stubble.
wife doesnt though.

I try to razor once a week - otherwise its the clippers 1st then razor.
Been doing it so long now - its about time the hair admitted defeat and gave up the battle altogether!
....that said. There seems to be more desertions at the back and sides nowadays..

I went to 0.5mm by accident a short while ago, stubble on headrests and chair backs was rather uncomfortable to be honest. This might be the cause of your rash? I know if I close shave my beard it irritates a lot if something rubs it.

I use ordanary soap and shave twice a week, no rash no problems.
I cant use anything with more than three blades as they block up to easy and you spend all your time rinsing out hair from between the blades.
I cant stand hair on my head any more. About three days growth is all i can take.
Bold is the new sexy!!

Shine on brother 😆

Why not have a comb over revival. They always looked so stylish and no one could ever tell.
Gentlemen rejoice that we are baldies now and not in the 70s.
Cleverer people than i could post some nice comb over pictures for younger listeners.
