I haven’t mentioned anything about head shaving in quite awhile. There’s just not that much to write about it and after all, it’s just another hair, or lack of hair, style. But I thought I’d give an update for those two or three people that might care.

I do go through periods of changing how often I shave my head depending on how lazy I am that week. Sometimes I don’t shave more than twice a week. Sometimes I shave every other day. Sometimes I shave every day. I don’t go less than twice a week because the irritation involved in shaving once a week is just not worth it. I don’t let it go much longer than four days. On those odd weeks that I do, I have to electric shave it first otherwise…damn…that just hurts.

I’ve tried different shave cremes and different razors. Beautiful Wife doesn’t give me a hard time about it. I let her go crazy whenever she’s near Burt’s Bees Wax products so she puts up with my searching for the most comfortable shave.

For shaving creme I broke down and spent the money and tried Aveeno’s Therapeutic Shave Gel. I’ve stopped looking for shaving creme. It works. Well. Beautiful Wife even commented on how well it works on her legs and pits. It’s a keeper.

I hate to admit this after making fun of it before, but I tried and LOVE the Gillette Fusion. My face hasn’t been smoother since I was a kid and it shaves the noggin with practically NO irritation what-so-ever. Seriously, five blades are better than three and I thought I’d never give up my Mach 3. You’ll have a hard time convincing me that I need MORE than five blades though.
