Head shine?

[JohnnyVader]

Hello everyone, pretty new here, so if this doesn’t belong in this forum, let me know.

Recently I started shaving my head. I love it, but there’s one thing, it is so shiny.

Thought I’d reach out here and see if there are any fellow head shavers who might have some tricks on how to take the shine down a notch. If not, it isn’t unbearable, just thought I’d see. Thanks!

Rub a bit of talcum powder on it.

Show off that shine! Dazzle those hairies! Be boldly bald!

I’ve shaved my head for thirty+ years now, and never worried about it - and when it’s weathered it’s not so noticeable. Embrace that polished dome @JohnnyVader - happy shaving!

P.s. This says it deals with shine, although I use it as an exfoliant.

You can get moisturizing lotions with a sunscreen that have a matte finish.

Thanks, guys!

I’ll look into some matte lotions.

Grest suggestion (from a guy who has spent too much time at the dermatologist’s office)!

If your head is shiny after a shave then you probably did it right

Clinique has a very good matte moisturizer I use on my dome, also Kiehl's has an oil reducing moisturizer that works well.

If your dome is chrome, no need to stay home. Just do like the Romans when you’re visiting Rome.

You can scuff it or buff it and make it shine. You can blind bystanders cause you look so fine.

Just wear it, share it, make it your own. You rock! You’re the man! You got a chrome dome.

Someone’s talking himself out of a Werther’s caramel…

We used to joke around with young people who shaved their head: "Hey, what's up Kojak?"...

Something is up here because I clearly recall Kojak being an older heavy set guy. This guy looks younger than me, and actually rather svelte. What has happened?!

Forgot to use my readers. I’m sorry. Read it like you were asking who was admitting they were old enough to know him.

No worries. It works either way

You're welcome.
