The bald, shaven head is a bold, classic look. There’s even a holiday dedicated to celebrating those confident enough to rock it: Be Bald and Be Free Day (Monday, October 14th). To help those who are bald by choice (or not) get a smooth and comfortable head-shave, Gillette partnered with professional barber, Faheem Alexander, to share his tips for head-shaving.
Below you can find his go-to head-shaving routine.
Tips for a Comfortable Head Shave:
From Faheem Alexander
1. It’s important to prepare your skin before shaving. I recommend using foaming shaving cream to moisturize the skin and soften the hair, such as Gillette PURE.
2. If your hair is long, it’s important to use proper trimmers to cut it down before shaving. A razor won’t cut longer hair or whiskers properly, so using a trimmer will avoid an uneven or awkward cut.
3. Use a razor to shave with the grain for a comfortable shave. My go-to razor for head shaving is Gillette SkinGuard which is designed for sensitive skin, or more sensitive areas like your head.
4. When you’re done shaving, apply a moisturizer or aftershave to soothe the skin.
Gillette SkinGuard is Gillette’s first razor specifically designed to stop irritation. It’s a great option for guys who experience razor burn or razor bumps, featuring a unique cartridge design that both smooths and protects the skin, enabling guys to shave their head and maintain the look and feel that they want.
