How To Shave Your Head

A site that I just love love love is ehow. I love just being able to type in something that I have never tried, and finding out 10 different ways to try said activity (step by step). I try to check out a new activity everyday. Today I looked up “how to shave your own head”. Now I am not exactly ready to shave my head, and if I did – I probably would get my hairstylist to do it for me – at least the initial “cut”.
Today’s step by step process can be found in greater detail here, but I will break it down for you in summarized form.
*Shave in the shower – steam helps! Rub in some nice smelling oil onto your head first (like lavender)
*Lather your head with shaving cream or shaving oil
*Shave slowly, keeping your razor clean – use your free hand to guide where your hair is
*Shave against the grain – for a smoother shave
*Rinse off the extra lotion, and finish off by rubbing in a moisturizing lotion.
**and this is a definite reminder – ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!
And for more male grooming tips, please check out the new Manscaping -101 blog by Tris Hussey. It is most entertaining and informative.

Shave in the shower? Ingenious. I have a problem with flaking after a head shave. I guess that’s what the moisturizer is for…..but I don’t wanna…too feminine. Is there any other way to keep my head from flaking?
Just shaved as short as I can, witht he electric clippers, been over about 10 times with no comb, so it is quite short, and starting to get sore, so I stopped, will have to try a razor next week.
I have fallen in love with short/no hair!
Cheers
Dave
