    I’ve been trying to get rid of razor burn & bumps for years, using one blade, two blade, 5 blades, a double edge safety razor, along with different shaving foams, gels and soaps with not much success.
    You’re the first person I’ve come across that recommended using conditioner. I ordered the one you’re using and the difference is night and day! My neck hasn’t looked this great in years. Less irritation, bumps and burns. This’ll also serve for when I shave my head in a few years. It doesn’t seem as daunting anymore!
    Thanks again, I’ll continue using conditioner from now on and I wish you and your wife all the best.

    I have been shaving my head for at least 5-10 years. I always used shaving cream. I recently switched from 5 blades on my head to a two blade (that actually gives me a closer shave). The thing that gets me the absolutely closest shave was following your advice of using hair conditioner. I didn't think this would work, and fully expected it to clog my razor like shaving oil does. WHAT A GREAT TIP!! I also agree about shaving just twice a week too. Anything more than that and the problem areas on my scalp can't handle it!

    I have to leave some feedback on my experience after watching this video, I have been shaving for about 12 years now and I had used shaving creams and gels. After trying couple of shaves with conditioner (I use the same as in the video) and I must say, what a difference in my results and feels comfortable afterwards, not dry as before and I think I will be saving some cash as well. Thanks for changing the way I shave 👍🏻

    3 days in between shaving (or 2 times a week) would also be best for me. My "problem" is that I have almost no hair left at the top so I don't like my look two days after shaving. "Have" to wear a cap then or accept some skin irritation. Stubbles look good at you.
    Thanks for the tip with the conditioner. I used shaving foam for years but a few days ago I switched to shaving creme (with only natural ingredients) and I like it a lot. It's very good for my skin too and the skin does not burn afterwards!

    I want to thank you for all the info you put on your excellent videos and this one just hit the spot. I have been shaving my head for many years and have kept a beard for more than 50 years. I always thought that I would never be using hair conditioner to shave my head, but you proved me wrong. Wishing you all the best from far away Germany.

  • @-8_8-

    Hey! Y'all know all those crazy stories about how people watch one video and then do something crazy? Yep, this was that video! Thanks Gregg.
    It came out pretty well. It was a struggle though. My head was tired just from multiple passes with a trimmer. My first go with a gillette and dove(because it's 10000% moisturizer) didn't go. I had to wash my head and use the trimmer to get even shorter. Then I figured shaving your head maybe wasn't so easy. I watched this video and my next attempt(using Free & Clear conditioner) went much better. I didn't get all the hair off. I still have a little stubble. I'm somewhere between your first and second pass even though I did two passes. But I listened to my new dome. It said it was tired. I'm glad I did. Later that day my head hurt a little. Just when it was touched, and only in a few spots. No bumps.
    TBH, a lot of people told me things like I had enough hair for x,y,z. But after taking a lot of selfies of my head, something you should do if you're still reading, I decided I was not just a man in denial, but a man who is beginning to look like he's in denial. This look goes on for decades in my family, who are all in shock right now having heard the news. "ALL, did you say?"
    I stepped down several times to get a real good look at what I could do if I kept it real short. Looked terrible. I never knew what to do to my hair, though I always wanted long headbanger or medival lord hair that never worked out. More denial. After everything my head went though day before yesterday, I have to say I look more normal and planned than any haircut since I was in high school. I'm actually hoping the change helps me remember myself. As we have all been tested by the 'rona. As Steven King has said "remember the face of your father." It's odd how I thought the bald head might help me remember the buddhists in their calm, but instead is more like the... Objective and subjective masculinity one feels when the beard gains it's own personality. Idk yet, but it feels like 10 minutes twice a week is going to be a meditation on the intent of self.
    Your choice of script, or free form, is excellent. It's clear you've thought a lot about this topic, and I think we all appreciate the input during what is kind of a scary time.
    I'm going to go watch the how not to get razor burn, I'm pretty sure that was yours.

I really cannot wait to try with conditioner next time, that might be what helps with the irritation and problem areas. Thank you for a great video.

It's pricy but you get more than you pay for, in a few different ways.
