When I first started shaving my head, there was a time in
particular that I experienced a bad razor rash.
It was on the left side of my head mostly on my parietal ridge. I would touch it and it felt like a cluster
of small pins penetrating the first few layers of skin on my head. I hated that feeling. In order to try to avoid,
or at least reduce, this with future head shaves; I decided on the spot to start
making changes in the routine. This
would ultimately point me to traditional wet shaving, but that’s a different
story.

Where Can HeadSlick be Used? |
I really like HeadSlick and I thought it was a good
alternative to an aerosol shaving cream can. For one I like the slickness of this cream
over just about any aerosol shave cream I’ve tried. In my experience when using some of the really
cheap shaving creams it would not provide adequate slickness. As a result, when
running a razor over my head, it would invariably get snagged on spot that
wasn’t sufficiently lubricated and would wind up cutting myself. This happened particularly when using the HeadBlade
sport. Since the Sport pushes the blade
over the stubble it would catch on section that wasn’t properly lubricated I
would get some nasty gouges.

Applied With The Fingers, HeadSlick Provided a Protective and Slick Coating with a Nice Mentholated Feel. |
This is also a mentholated cream; which is an attribute that
I like. HeadSlick has a fairly strong
(my opinion) mentholated feel as well as aroma to it. Even after the shave and when rinsed off, the
cooling feeling that it leaves behind makes it feel as if I can go without an
aftershave, though I do use something
just out of habit.
While it’s probably not really a product for the shave brush
fan. Though, in a previous post and YouTube video (below) we did test it to see if it would lather with a brush. Personally, I was surprised and pleased with the results.
Overall, HeadSlick is one of those products that will most
likely remain in the rotation. It
doesn’t leave my skin feeling dried out after a shave, I like the cooling
menthol feeling, and I don’t find it to linger around. So, I feel that I can use just about any
scent of aftershave balm or splash without worrying about a clash of
smells. Because there are a lot of other products in the shave den that I like to use, I'll probably opt for the 5 oz bottle rather than the 8 oz, so I don't keep it opened and on the shelf for too long.

I Use A Number of Other Products in the Routine, So The Smaller Bottle is the Better Option for Me. |
Have you tried HeadBlade’s HeadSlick shaving cream? Better
yet, paraphrasing what is on the bottle … Do you use it anywhere you
shave? Leave a comment below and let us
