Hello, I tried to search your vids for the answer to my question but couldn't find it. I've found that I get a closer head shave when I exfoliate first. Also helps with post shave dry skin. I've been using a washcloth, but thinking of checking out an exfoliating glove. Has anyone used one or have an exfoliating technique they find works the best? I do plan on trying a pre-shave oil and some shave soap. It seems less wasteful than cans of shaving cream. Thanks in advance everyone!
Interesting, I did it exactly the other way around haha. I was reading about peppermint oil as a minoxidil substitute some while ago and so I mixed my own Beard oil with jojoba and applied it twice a day. Usually, when I shave my head, I'll rub the remains of the oil into my head kind of like an aftershave balm.Helps a lot if my skin gets irritated. I love this oil, it feels like as if you were to bite into a peppermint gum, just on your face haha. Never thought about using it before the shave, but since but isn't the purpose of soap to dissolve oils and fats meaning the oil and soap would kind of "neutralize" each other?
First stop using the shave soap. It works against the oil. I don’t know about the argon oil, I’ve not used it, so I can’t say one way or the other. The coconut oil I just so so. The jojoba oil does not work well for your intended purpose. Try shaving with the oil only, you won’t go back to using soap! For the oil try a single oil by itself. Sunflower oil, avocado oil, or almond oil. I’m still working through different oils, but these three oils I can confirm works very well. These three oils I have used by themselves, and all three soften the hair, whereas the coconut is not as good, and the jojoba is a definite no go.
Does anyone know a good pair of clippers or a mechanical razor that still leaves a shade of hair, like 0,3 mm? Just thought i would ask here. Love this channel, love this comunity. You helped me get through a tough periord when i was 18 and noticed i was losing my hair. I shaved my head at 19. Now im 21 and i've never felt better about the way i look. Thank you
Gillette makes a safety razor that I use that doesn’t shave to the skin but leaves a tiny bit. I think most safety razors are this way, as there is a safety bar that is actually what glides on the skin.
Get your beard trimmed a bit mate. Love your beard but get rid of the wild parts will look so much better on you ( no judgement if your still growing ) ive been through that phase as well.
Deal with them, as they'll likely change from negative to very positive once the people you know get used to it. Mine were very negative in the beginning, but now people compliment me a lot on it. It is just a very dominant look and people will notice. I've heard it from numerous people that didn't know me before (including girls of course). They'll admire it hat you have the balls to deal with an issue like going bald confidently and aren't ashamed of it.
@@Baldcafe the worst part is i am 20 and i am balding plus i have a lot of hair on my body I don't know if you can relate or not but its is embarrassing having this much hair 😂
@@adityagarg6322 Its not, body hair is manly if you wouldnt have any that would be embarrasing because it would mean your hormones are wrecked. Embrace being a manly man. Trim it rock it whatever!
They actually have a video saying that you should not shave your head unless it's too late. They also say that you should use rogaine. I think the video is called "the biggest mistake people make when balding"(meaning they shave their heads). So yeah not a fan personally for this and other reasons.
I add CASTOR OIL in my pre-shave mix. It is the slickest oil I can find.

You just saved me a lot of time, thanks man :-)
The reason you got bumps is that coconut oil is comedogenic (clogs pores)
Coconut oil on the face May not be the best. It’s comedogenic meaning it can cause acne. You can use castor oil instead or just more Argan oil.
will you do an episode on female pattern hairloss?
Quite possibly 👍

just use e45 cream or palmers coca butter jar, loads of cheaper products can make good preshave
@@tommyharris5817 olive oil the best preshave.
You aren't forced to use coconut oil, just body wash or bar soap will work
So what ur saying is i can use my beard oil as a preshave aswell ? Well i will give it a try
Hi! Thank you for your videos! Do you know where to buy leaf shave in Uk? Custom changes are awful from US
Hey! Have you tried the andis profoil lithium plus!? They are so incredible and give me the best shave on my face and head.
I have never noticed any benefits from preshave oil. If anything, it interferes with lather creation. Does make a good beard oil though.
Completely false..pre-shave oil definitely works. The trick is to make sure to wash your face properly before using it

The Remington RX5 if something similar is probably a good one for that result 👍

Is conditioner the same as the pre shave oil?
I’ve heard conditioner works amazing

How does one handle the reaction of others after he shaves his head for the first time?
Like a boss

@@adityagarg6322 there's nothing wrong with having a hairy body. And if you don't like it you can trim it to little length or even zero

What do recon is best to wash you're head with after shaving?
Honestly I keep it simple. Water or the cleanser from MANTL currently 👍
@@Baldcafe cheers dude. Love the channel
Can cbd oil be used for pre shave
I don’t see why not but it would get damn expensive 👍
@@Baldcafe thanks harry body shop does there own cbd oil now 👍
What’s the bar soap your using at the moment ?
I believe it’s by a company eco warrior. I found it on amazon I will try and grab the link 👍
@@Baldcafe cheers for that , I’m always trying different ones , becoming a bit of a hobby lol , your videos are spot on mate 👍
Not anyone know about this but hair conditioners works wonders, for me atleast. No burns, just smooth shave.
Have head this, I’m still yet to try it thought
Mineral Oil, spread it on and let sit for about five minutes. Go shave in the shower and you're done.
This didn’t come up in my subscriptions... :/ weird.
Only saw it as I happened to be scrolling through the channel.
Thanks for letting me know man, there has been a period recently where my videos haven’t been shared out there at all 😔 but we’ll keep going 👌
Are you a fan of Beardbrand?
Yeah I think they make good videos and I like their branding. I've never used any of their products though.
They actually have a video saying that you should not shave your head unless it's too late. They also say that you should use rogaine. I think the video is called "the biggest mistake people make when balding"(meaning they shave their heads). So yeah not a fan personally for this and other reasons.
Didn't feel anything in the shaving cause the soap diluted the oils. Soap is made just for that.
to those baldy people, why don't you guys go to the clinic and undergo a laser hair removal if you really like to be bald foever? cheers🍼😄
They might hoping someday miracle still happened to their bald head, that's why laser hair removal is a big no no for them
