You’ve really helped me love the bald look at 21! So much respect for you, I was always outgoing but one day I went back to class with a shaved head and never looked back since :) would love to see a documentary and love what you do!

I’m not even balding and I shaved my head to a 000 during quarantine. Watching your videos and seeing how good you look totally bald made me bite the bullet and I tried the Proglide, foil electric shaver and today the double edge safety razor. I have never had a better shave in my life and I love having a bald head (even though I am not balding). The trick I found out, including your tips is that it does take immense patience as you have to shave 3 times. 1. With the grain, 2. Across the grain and 3. Against the grain. Took me quite awhile, about 30 minutes but it is an amazing shave. I did do the hot towel, coconut oil and a cold shower with tea tree oil shampoo afterwards and also used a mixture of tea tree oil and moisturizer instead of any aftershave and damn is my head smooth, AND THAT’S WITH A TYPICALLY FULL THICK HEAD OF HAIR. Thank you!

Nice one I personally world never try and get a smooth shave with one pass. I go with the grain for first pass, across the grain with the second pass, and if I really want it polished off I go with a 3rd pass against the grain. It's all about knocking that stubble down each pass, and not trying to smash it in one!! Shower first to open the pores and remove natural oils so the warm water and shaving cream can really soften up the hairs for a really comfortable shave. And of course between each pass, hit the hot towel to keep everything primed! Takes time but it's a ritual! !!! Great vid and killer beard !!!

Hey man I recently started using safety razors, couple things I probably picked up, flip the razor after every pass, and rinse often. The heavier the razor the more coarse and closer the shave. And use short strokes, this will help with not cutting yourself and razor burn because of irritation. Also after first pass of your skin is not irritated you could try going cross-grain rather than against the grain, not as irritable but gets closer (that being said I’ve only done that but on my face so be careful).

@baldcafe Thx mate for giving me renewed inspiration to use my safety razor again to shave my head! I started using classig shaving tools a few years ago when I saw how low the production of Gilette blades are and how much us guys have to pay for them. I was quite pissed. I live in Berlin (but I'm a Dutch guy) and here's a very famous barber called Mühle. They produce blades since 1945 and all the accessories a classic shave needs. I started with a set with a closed comb, to exercise and later I switched to a set with an open comb. Then my hair started to become dull and to dissappear . That was the moment, I started using my set closed comb, to shave my head. It didn't work, because I shaved like I used to shave with my cartridge blades and I looked like if I had been massacred 😊. So I continued to buy the crap stuff and I was quite annoyed with myself. Today I discovered you here and I was watching and commenting some of your clips. Man you inspired me! I went to the bathroom and used my good old closed comb again. But this time, I caressed my head and took all the time I needed. IT WORKED! I was even to shave against the grain! I'm very vain about my shiny, totally hairless head!!! It took me about twice the time compared to when using a cartridge, but I'm sure that I will improve that. So thanks to you, I'm not dependent on Gilette anymore. Thanks a lot for your great clips and advices. By the way, I have been living in Guangzhou for four years, and I really enjoy the clips in which you show Chinese sceneries. Feels and looks so familiar 😉 Regards, Rob

Been DE shaving for a few years now. You gotta experiment with different razors and blades to find that right amount of aggressiveness for your head. Cartridge razors give me hella razor bumps (african american) so the DE shave has made a world of difference for me. Im currently using the Bevel razor and its excellent.

Hey baldcafe I used to use creamy shaving foam to shave my head with disposable twin blade razorz gillete but now iv found a much better shaving foam off of ebay called red one 1000ml pump tub very easy to apply its blue its goes on your hand like a thick gel but when you rub it in it turns into almost a thin oil very easy to shave with no pullin or scuffs and it has added moisturizer in the gel i havnt changed my blades it takes off more hair than gel and ud be suprised of how well it works but as for everything you have to do what works for you just thought id let you know of diffrent foams out there 😊😊

Came here because I'm also shaving my head and consider switching from Mach 3 to safety razor. Not convinced if I should though... I'm always shaving against the grain because it gives me the closest shave. Can you shave against the grain when you get more experienced with a safety razor? Perhaps I need to add I'm not very patient... [edit] Oops, there's many more videos here. Sorry. [/edit]

You don't need a hot towel, just have your shower just before shaving. The oil I've never found to be necessary. Definitely you can't use any pressure. You probably want to do three passes, with, across, and against the grain. The razor you've got is quite a mild one, so you might want to get a very sharp blade, and/or a more aggressive razor.
