Look, I get it. You're trying to save money with that cheap-ass face razor. Or maybe you "borrowed" your girlfriend's Venus (we've all been there). But your scalp deserves better than that hack job you're doing every morning.
Time for some tough love.
Step 1: Stop Half-Assing the Prep
You know that guy at the gym with the spotted, bumpy head that looks like he got in a fight with his razor? Don't be that guy. Here's the real deal:
- Hot shower first. Like, actually hot. Your head should be steamy.
- Get the dead skin off. Yeah, exfoliating sounds fancy, but it's just basic maintenance.
- Use our Cool Glide Gel because you need to see what the hell you're doing. Clear gel = no more missed spots.
Step 2: About That Razor...
I used to steal my girlfriend's Venus razor too. No shame. But there's a reason we made something better:
- Fat lubrication strip up front because that's where you actually need it
- Curved for your head because, shockingly, your skull isn't flat
- Real aftercare built in because your scalp isn't your face
How to use it without looking like you lost a bet:
- Chill with the pressure. You're not scraping barnacles off a boat.
- Rinse it. Like, a lot. Otherwise you're just dragging hair around your head.
- First pass with the grain. Getting aggressive? Fine, go against it on round two. Just don't blame me for the razor burn.
Step 3: Don't Skip This Part
The number of guys I see walking around with red, irritated heads kills me. Here's how to not be them:
- Blast it with cold water. Your pores need to chill (literally).
- Actually moisturize. Not with that 3-in-1 body wash/shampoo/motor oil you've been using.
- SPF or die. Seriously. A sunburned head looks stupid and hurts like hell.
Things That Make Me Cringe:
- Dry shaving (who hurt you?)
- Nasty old blades (if you have to think about when you changed it, it's too old)
- Pretending you don't need sunscreen (your red head says otherwise)
Look, your bald head is your signature now. Stop treating it like a practice run.
