I just use a Razor, probably the closest shave you're gonna get. Helps if you have a mirror, or someone else to check and make sure you got the back of your head.

Hi there, for me it is my HEADBLADE. I get a really clean shave and the products are great. i've been shaving with a HEADBLADE for the last year or so and I havent looked back.

Yea exactly, whatever you shave your legs with would be good. An electric trimmer would work, but I personally don't get as close a shave with one, although it would definitely be a lot quicker. I just get a 6 pack of double blade razors at Walmart for like $3.

I agree with Michelle... Headblade!! It was designed by a man for men who shave their heads. They are sold online on the Headblade website, or you can find it in Walgreen's. I love it. I shave my head every other day about. My hair grows fast so it doesn't stay smooth for a long time, but the headblade is easy to use and makes your head smooth.

Personally, I use an electric razor every mornIng to keep all the hair off my head. It's great because I don't need anyone to help me and it's easy to use. It's also a bit of work and time consuming but very effective for 24 hours.

you can use a hair removal cream but not nair or anything like that. get somethng like magic shave cream for sensative skin. its meant for men to use on their faces to get hair off. i dont have alopecia but i shave my head by choice and that is what i use. it takes a little bit longer for hard stubble to come in and your head will feel and look smooth longer. and you dont have to ever worry about razor bumps if the razor bothers your skin.

Thanks for this thought!
I've been debating on how to get the close shave without having to go to the barber shop and hadn't even thought about Magic Shave. Both my ex and a family member use it.
This will be my first time and I have a little anxiety about it. (:

I am really uncertain as to what to do. I have to wear a wig because my hair has balding patches in some areas. In the past, I have shaved my head, but my daughter suggested I let it grow out. I took her advice, but still have to wear a wig and besides, my wigs don't seem to fit properly with the hair growing in places and some not. My wig seems to "slide" more on my head like this. Can someone suggest what I should do? My fiancee says he has no problems with whatever decision I make and would even shave my head if that's what I decide to do. Can someone help? Has someone shaved their heads and regretted it? Thanks!
