Cremo Shave Guide: How to Shave Your Head with a Razor
Looking for info on how to shave your own head? You’ve come to the right place!
Before you start, make sure you properly prepare by having the right tools and clipping your hair to a low grade. For product, we recommend Cremo’s Shaving Cream and Post Shave Balm, along with a small towel and cartridge razor.
Step 1
Run water until hot and apply liberally to your hair and scalp, as the hot water will help open up hair follicles and make them easier to cut.
Alternatively, you can also apply a hot towel to your head to achieve the same effect. However, no matter which method you decide to use, remember to take your time, as this will ultimately help you achieve a better shave.
Step 2
Take your shaving cream and work thoroughly into your hair. Shaving cream acts as a great lubricant and cushions the blade, allowing for lower drag and fewer snags.
Pro-tip: Apply more shaving cream than you would normally when shaving your face, as this will help the blade follow the natural curve of your skull.
Step 3
Starting with the front of your head, take your razor and shave with the grain, working in small but assured strokes. Let the razor do the work and do not press too hard, else you might end up cutting or hurting yourself. Use a fresh blade to minimize razor burn.
After every couple of strokes, you’ll want to wash the razor. This removes hair and shaving cream and keeps the blade free to do its work.
Carry on until you’ve finished the front of your head.
Step 4
Next, shave the sides of your head. Again, work from top to bottom, shaving with the grain.
Careful you don’t get too close to your ears.
Step 5
Finally, we come to the back of the head, which is the most difficult part. If you’re feeling less confident, make sure to add a bit more shaving cream or water and feel with your hands that everything part of your scalp is covered.
Work the razor blade from top to bottom in confident strokes. To help the blade glide, try tightening the back of the neck to allow a flatter surface area to cut. Use another mirror to make sure you’re shaving the right spots and the shaving cream is properly applied.
Step 6
Take some hot water and rinse your head of shaving cream. Use your hands in this process to search for parts of the head you may have missed on the first pass.
Step 7
Repeat steps 2 to 6. Re-lather some shaving cream to the head, and pay particular attention to the parts of the head you missed or the parts which are harder to shave than the rest.
You’re going to shave your head again, this time though, we’re going to go against the grain of your hair growth. This gives us a really close shave and is one of the best ways to shave your head.
This time the blade should glide across the skin as you have already removed a lot of hair already. Don’t get overconfident and careless; always move the blade cautiously yet confidently.
On this pass, make sure you remove any hair lingering around your ear.
Step 8
Rinse the shaving cream from your head with warm water. Massage in and check all over your head for any missed areas. If you have missed a spot, re-lather the shaving cream again and go for another pass.
Step 9
Add a Post Shave Balm to add some moisture back into the shaven skin. Work in thoroughly to get deep moisturization.
Step 10
Admire your beautifully shaven head. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The way he is shaving looks painful as hell.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Looked like he had an extremely dull razor. I think they need a new model.
It doesn’t hurt with the right razor . I’m bald myself
It's cause he's doing it wrong, your suppose to use short strokes he's using long strokes.
@@dsanchez9703 the dont show the 3 days between the first & second pass to let the cuts heal
🗣 Just look at that head glisten! 😂
Well there's a guy who'll never have to worry about hair loss. He looks amazing bald. Lucky.
i dont even have a head
Well that's definitely not something we see everyday.
@@CremoCompanyGrooming do you sell heads
@@kayla5543 We can't say that we do - only products for heads.
@@CremoCompanyGrooming :(
Cremo Company what if we have 2 heads
The guy uses the other hand to pull the skin and tighten it up. Something important that might save you from a cut. Also lean forward when you are doing your back. It helps with the tightening process.
Great tips. It’s fine folks like you who make the internet a better place.
Thank you so much, man.
Hey just wanted to thank you I'm 21 and I was balding and this made the process alot easier so truly thank you for this vid👍❤
Shaving can be tricky, we get it. We're glad we could help!
Dude, I'm also 21. Wtf.
@@stromer16 I'm in the same position as you. Or at least I was. I just said screw it and did it. I think it turned out okay.
@@stromer16 Hey, the more you know hahaha
I absolutely love the Cremo body washes, excited to try out the shaving cream!
I love Cremo! My head is very smooth! 👍🏻😎
Love cremo, i have shaved my head daily but i recently got smp and now shave every other day awesome feeling also.
I am on here also. Wondering if it's safe to use a razor on SMP. Guys at the Clinic said it's better to use clippers or foil shavers. Not sure if they meant for the first 30 days or forever?
I got my SMP done about 6 months ago here in NYC they did a Fantastic Job. I did it while I still have plenty of hair left, I was just thinning frontal area and Crown area, not really bald spots. Either Way I am very happy I did it. Shaving every other day is alot of work. At least for me it feels that way.
I just luvv the day's the cremo brings you😁😁😁😁
Love Cremo shave cream. That, and Propermale's head shave towel makes for a good head shave.
many thanks,this video was very helpful... since the Bump Fighter razor has been discontinued,it's forced me to seek another avenue for addressing my dome,lol...
I dont think you guys Export to The Netherlands but when you do, ill be your lifetime customer for the guide and tips in this video. Ty a bunch from across the pond
I absolutely love Cremo original shave cream! It's the only shave cream I will use on my head! I noticed that when I use Cremo, it drastically reduce nicks and irritation. With that being said, it is very thirsty, which means I have to continue applying small drops of water to keep it slick, which it states in the directions. Cremo keeps the skin on my head happy, nick and irritation free! I want to try your other latherless shave creams scents when I've used up all my current stock of original cream. I also have the lathering version of Cremo for my face in my online cart so I can get someday! Awesome product guys!
Thanks for the compliment! We are glad you enjoy the product!
This video is so satisfying
We are glad you enjoy! Thanks for watching!
so satisfying
nice tips & how to video.. will try it soon.. i always go to the barber but this time, i'm doing it myself
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes!
I'm going to give this Creamo Cream a shot for the first time I use my Omni Shaver , also as a first time. Sounds like a good Combination. Creamo Cream and Omni Shaver.
Let us know how you like the shave cream!
I used this method and my head is clean, buttery, and soft. 😊 Lost my hair to lupus and now I am a lovely bald lady with no patches of hair. ❤
so, I decided to cut off 2ft of hair I've kept growing for years and years, and went straight up bald. mostly due to extreme and unchanging dandruff issues, while the shaved look and feel are nice I learned that not having hair does not prevent dandruff or simmilar issues for some weird reason and I'm not sure what to do about it
I just started shaving my head bald with a razor, im early 30s. I used clippers a week ago and everyone loved my new bald look. But now i want to squeaky shiny look. Tonight i thought i was doing a good job with the razor until i finished and it looked similar to 1:42 🤣💀
I’m loving the way the ball head feels though and makes
Hey, it's a process. We're sure you look great.
What razor was on the video and where can I buy it
hair very strong!
im bout to do it boys
Great video 👍🏿
Thanks for watching, Robert!
What blade did he use at this video
The narrator did his thing🔥
I absolutely love using Cremo shaving cream and Defender razors. I have one for my face and one for my head. I've always shaved against the grain and never have had a problem. I tried using the Headblade products and found them to be expensive and not worth it.
Great stuff! Some people can find shaving against the grain to begin with tough, but if you're made of strong stuff than it isn't an issue. Thanks for using Cremo!
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to write a comment. Sorry we didn't do our part and respond in a timely manner. Glad you found something that works for you. It sounds like you may have tried a few things out to see what works best for your routine and we definitely don't want to mess with that.
I agree. Cremro works great on my head and defender just came out with newly innovative cartridges that are fantastic. The 2 were meant to be.
I love cremo.i use cremo and Gillette fusion proshield flexball o Proglide or mach3 turbo

Are Drill Instructors taught how to properly shave their heads to withstand heat, sweat and rigourous daily physical activity while in DI School and throughout their tour? Are there any DI's or former DI's willing to share some methods and tips?
Thanks! - Semper Fi
Candyman.. omg. He looks so different
Mach 3. Hot water. Conditioner. Shave front to back. Keep head wet and conditioned. Easy. Not a single razor bump in 16 years.
It sounds like you have a good routine going!
What type of hair do you have?
I had straight to curly hair. I'm puerto rican. I still do this same routine I just added a hot towel before and after and shave butter in stead of conditioner.
I just clipped off my hair and it feels great so now I'm ready to shave it.
Awesome! We hope you found this video helpful!
Great Voice👍
Thanks man. 👍
The only thing I would add to newcomers to the shaving your head world is, shave your head down to the scalp before you use a blade on your head. I have an electric skull razor that gets it down to a smooth finish. If I want to get rid of any additional stubble then I use a razor for the rest and it is much easier and better for the health of your scalp.
I always shave against the grain on the first shave. As long as you have a good razor and use Cremo shave cream you will be good to go. I really like the Cremo after shave product too.
I like barbasol better it's a way thicker lather so the blade glides better for me
Thanks for using Cremo! Glad against the grain on the first pass works for you, less time spent and less product needed.
Gotta love that you made sure to add the Cremo Shave cream in there. Which one do you use? And we will definitely agree with you there and say that when you have a good razor and Cremo Shave Cream you should be good to go.
@@CremoCompanyGrooming I use the Cremo original shave cream and the cooling post shave balm afterwards.

I shave my head in the shower every dam day. Get you a shower mirror from Walmart, caress bar soap, a schick hydro 3 blade, go super slow and cautiously and you good. You will keep your bathroom clean!
Slap that alcohol on there when you get out the shower.
Try using a safety razor. It will make shaving much easier and fast. With less irritation.
Good tip!
Yup
I started losing my hair at 17, i'm 24 now, i did my best to keep my hair but i think now its time to say goodbye to my hair. Thanks for the video
Damn 17
@@24kpsycho Yup, lol
All wrong you gone have a brother bumped up!!!!!!
Darwin Nelms how do we do it then
Leak Anderson go against the grain. Shave front to back.
Darwin Nelms if you are like me and have curly hair meaning you may be african american you shave with the grain.... This will leave your hair laying in the proper way it supposed to come out the pores. Shaving against the grain will have your hair curl inside the skin/pores thus leaving you with razor bumps. I know i have been through it and once an African American barber explained it to me i never had problems with razor bumps in the back of my neck or anywhere on head again. Also make sure you wash your head then place a hot rag/towel first before applying shaving cream and shaving. This will clean the dead cells off your scalp as well as heat your hair and make them soft. People say against the grain bc it will give you a very close shave going that way may help you not have to shave for 2-3 days but it will also give you razor bumps bad bc the hair will curl and not come out the pores.... I shave every 1-2 days with the grain 2 passes over the head it only takes 5-10 mins so if i have to shave everyday to maintain that smoove feeling id rather do that than have razor bumps... Also make sure you are using an all natural shaving cream if you have sensitive skin bc the alcohol and ingrediants in most shaving creams will irritate your skin.
A C yep my first couple times shaving i was going against the grain and it was terrible. Razor bumps and burns out the ass and didnt feel good. What kind of natural shaving creams do you recommend
@@lequanlee I started using Gillette ultra-sensitive shaving cream after washing my head with hot water, then I have a bottle of coconut oil in a travel size bottle mixed with 3 drops of tea tree oil. I started putting a thin coat of coconut oil/tea tree oil (10 drops) from the travel size bottle mixture as a base layer on head then the shaving cream after the coco oil and it worked like a charm. What I do use as a natural after shave is the Humphreys all natural witch hazel (3/4 bottle), mixed with about (1/4) of coconut oil which should fill the witch hazel bottle back up, and then 3-5 drops of tea tree oil but the real tea tree oil without additives in it. This after shave works like a charm and it also moisturizes your head too so you do not have to add anything else to it. I also use the Gillette skin guard razor, it’s a double blade but the blades are spaced out. This has been keeping bumps away. Some people may be mad because of Gillette views on things, but i have to use what’s best for me. They have a special where you get a free handle and free blade for $4 shipping if you want to try it. This is the first time i have been able to keep the bumps and burn under control. I hope this helps you.
I'm going to try a wet shave on my pate tomorrow for the first time.
Very nice!
@@CremoCompanyGrooming there was so much blood! I think my head is too moley for a razor!
This blade looked really ineffective or the cream is no good and gumming up the razor...
I think he's using a multi blade razor and it's really not recommended for curly hair.
That looked uncomfortable as hell.
Shoudve took it down with some clippers first, a DE or straight edge razor works better for that kinda length
"Don't get overconfident"
I never learned that lesson
Hey, better late than never.
@@CremoCompanyGrooming 🤣🤣
How long does this take?
In general, between 15-20 minutes. After doing it several times, you'll start to find your rhythm and cut that time down a bit.
Do you rinse with hot 🥵 or cold 🥶 water 🚿?!
Rinse with hot up until you have finished shaving. When you are finished with the shave rinse off with cold water to close pores.
First hot water before shave and after your done wash with cold water to calm the skin down from burns and pores
That just went from a 90 day supply to a 65 day supply, with as much Creamo Cream he used and as many shaves he went for.
A bit more was used for this shave than normal, very true.
I usually start shaving my back of the head and work my self up.
Great tip, Jesse!
@@CremoCompanyGrooming thats the easiest way for me.
The head need to be trimmed way lower than what he is shaving! All you have to do is use a simple pair of trimmers, and they will leave, maybe a 1/16" of hair left on your head. The following procedure is what I do, and it works like a charm: I first, shave my head with a slightly used razor, that will eliminate a very sore scalp after shaving. Also, I simply use Vaseline Intensive Cream when shaving my head. I shave my head every other night, and at night only! Then I apply Every Man Jack Mattifying Face Lotion to keep my scalp from drying out. The next morning, when I am ready to leave for the day, I wash my head 2-3 times with Irish Spring Soap. Those washings will take off all of the Every Man Jack Mattifying Face Lotion, and will completely take off any oil left on my scalp. I do NOT apply ANYTHING to my bald scalp, and have very little oil or shine that appears durning the day; it is quite minimal, and is really not noticeable. After many trials & errors, the above works like a charm. All the topical oils, creams, etc., are just a waste of money, and DO NOT WORK! I hope the above helps others, as I know how I felt with a shining, glowing bald head. It is nice not to even be concerned about checking my bald head durning the day.
Does shaving against the grain is better? I just wanna grow fresh hair.
We recommend only after you have shaved with the grain first. Shaving against the grain does give you an extremely smooth shave but can cause irritation.
We recommend to shave with the grain, in small strokes.
If you don't mind razor bumps yes.
Went bald for the first time in my life, feels so weird!
We bet you're rocking it.
I thought the channel name said Chemo Company 😂
Cremo therapy
Mad respect for shaving your head bald even though you don't really have to
Our Shave products certainly make the process more enjoyable.
Cremo makes some good products, but I got a tip to use conditioner once to shave and it’s basically magic. No irritation, no razor burn, super smooth and close shave every time. I don’t recommend it for shaving your face/neck.
Sounds like you're on to something there!
I like how he holds the razor like a 5 year old lol
I see quarantine has brought you here as well my brothers
Hey, we can think of worse corners of the internet to be in.
Cremo Company YOOO YALL REPLY WHAAAT!? I’m gonna shave my head thanks for the very helpful video!!!
What blade is he using it sucks
I agree
He should've used clippers to cut his hair down first
Yup, mechanical razors are better for the task
It looks like Gillette skin guard razor. I just used it and it takes a couple strokes going with the grain with shaving cream. Got the job done but it was annoying but no razor bumps so far..
Medieval age blade
Do you know im gunna do this today sides and back i did it before in hopital with this mad man who was there 3 times in a row when i was there who i already knew in the small tine iyd been there because he eats food from floor
We're glad to inspire you :)
Sorry but that was a terrible way to shave your head for a black guy, he's going to have sooo many razor bumps. Use trimmers first to take the hairs off then shave with the grain for less Irritation.
He did indeed shave with trimmers before starting with the razor. He then shaved with the grain on the first pass and reported a few days later it was still feeling smooth! It was Darius' first-time going fully clean shaven on the head and did feedback he might keep it that way. He definitely rocked the look.
Bro is is clipper enough to shave the head ?
Not all black people get razor bumps
His hair was already short lmao
@@ThejeffJr8 exactly smh
I did same
We hope this helped you with the process.👌
I wish more commercials on TV would use the lingo today 😅
When shaving thr back of your head use a use a hand mirror.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing!
Shave against the grain on the first shave. It will save you time, it will cause you to use less shaving gel and it will save your razor.
AllAmericanGuy01 No, don't, especially with a cartridge razor, you'll get nicks and irritation out the ass.
@@Cr4z3d I shave against the grain daily and never have or had an issue.
AllAmericanGuy01 You might have thinner hair then.
@@Cr4z3d if you shave every 2-3 days than no. Use short strokes, don’t press too hard, and it’s fine. I like shaving with the grain first, than against. I shave in the evening so I can take my time if I want.
I use Cremo products. Awesome stuff. But head shaving is best done in the shower. Shave every other day or so. The more stubble or growth, the harder to shave. And stay out of the sun.
Thanks for sharing your tips, Ralph. We're glad to hear you're a fan of our products!
Well, if you’re here, congrats! I guess it’s time to stop pretending like it ain’t gonna happen 🙂

We're glad to hear you're a fan of us, Daniele.
This dude started with an Afro 😭. Can only imagine how bumped up his head was 2 days later
The blade not good and better to use foam with hot water
Our Shave Cream is not a foaming shave preparation. Foam is made of air bubbles, and air is not a good lubricant. It's all about providing a slippery layer between the blade and the skin. We can assure you that it makes for a pleasant shaving experience!
The dark skin tiki barber
Don't use shaving cream. Too drying. Gel is better but conditioner is best.
I don't get why people completely shave their head. I trim my hair very small, found completely removing it causes skin irritation. Hair has a protective function.
Boy you are an idiot. Some people look crazy with bald spots and thinning hair so they shave it off.Maybe you can pull it off but not everybody
Kind of misrepresenting their own product, you shouldn't need to reapply that many times as it's a concentrate, you just re-wet the area, unless it really thins out, Cremo is very thirsty.
You can definitely re-use from the previous pass if there is still some product left over! Ideally this video is for first time head shavers, and the more they get used to the technique the less time they'll have to re-apply. Thanks!
oh yeah~ god job tapping the blade into the sink while you wash it...-_-
IF YOU BLACK DON'T SHAVE AGAINST THE GRAIN!!!
Play a stupid game. Win a stupid prize. How do you shave then ? Use a clipper? Please let me know bro
@@abadam6649 Yes I just use clippers. I also hear that magic shave is good but yeah I only use clippers on my head.

This is NOT how to shave your head old sports smh blows my mind how they post videos with bad info. I bet this guy had horrible razor bumps. Always always buzz your hair 1st with a zero clipper and then shave with razor with grain. Hot shower exfoliate then put a nice lotion on the scalp old sports
This is not how to shave your head. He has to much hair and has to trim it first. Wrong wrong and wrong🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
