Gotta get the premium bro
Best comment ever!

Yo 😭🤦🏾♀️
One day you're a young kid without a care in the world and a full head of hair, and before you know it you find yourself here.
it is like starting a new chapter while closing the other one.
One door shuts the other door opens wide.
Best door to ever open in all Honesty ❤ bald life 🤞🏾
I am 21 with a perfect thick black set of hair, I’m shaving it just because I prefer to be bald
I just realized that being completely bald requires more maintenance than having just plain hair
Yep.
yup, same thing if you want to keep stumble, comparing with long beard
You have no idea!!
it does
I know. I'm too lazy for this kind of regular maintenance. Bring back the comb over!
I shaved my head for the first time yesterday and, man, I wish I had done it sooner. It felt weird at first, almost like I wasn't touching my own head, but now I'm looking forward to the next shave. My lady LOVES it, too. She couldn't stop touching it.
Haha nice
Wtf lol
I feel the same,,, why has it taken me this long to do it 💯
Hahah that’s the vibe! 😀🤟
My lady shaves my head every few days... although we figured out a much simpler system... bit of hair conditioner and a razor.... no way near as complicated as this guys set up and I never have issues. She enjoys it too - the way she sees it is that it's pretty black and white; a guy either looks good with a super juvenile strong square full head of hair or a clean shaved head - consistency is the key. Anything in between automatically gives negative subconscious associations of aging, but a man with a shaved head has a more mysterious allure because they clearly aren't 80 so it becomes almost a look in a sense. If that makes sense lol.
Been going bald since I was 25, now at 31 I've done my first completely bald shave, it's freeing and I love it, will definitely keep doing this.
started loseing hair at 24 started with a buzz every 2 weeks finaly told barber just shave me bald still bald 25 years now
I've been shaving my head everyday for 8 years and can honestly say that this man knows what he's talking about.
You use a razor or the buzz cut?
@@joejothefu1928 razor
Every day? How do you get the time?
I shave mine every other day with a hand held bulldog and my face with a razor but does it it not take ages?
@@tomben6180 In the beginning it used to take about 30 minutes or so, 45 if you count in the aftercare. But for the last couple of years, I've reduced it to 15 minutes total max. So no, it doesn't take too much time (not for my schedule anyway)
@@hattorihanzo9000 Fair enough. I think I’m 15 mins both head and face every 48 hrs… but do face every day which is 5 mins.
Reckon shaving my head and face at the same time with a razor would take me ages!
Thanks for the reply after 2 yrs also!
Us baldies gotta to stick together haha
I'm 19 and i started balding at 16, bad genetics i guess. Thanks for this video
Ohh me too, but i have 22 now. First time i shaved my hair, was painful man.
I started going bald at 22, 30 now and I prefer being bald. You get so use to shaving your head and the money you save on shampoo is nice. I also learned when I started shaving my head was to get clippers to removes what you could as close to the skin as possible than move to the razor and with every stroke, rinse your razor until you find what works for you and until your scalp is use to the razor. When your rinse razor, fill your sink with water and shake it or tap it in the water. I was a dope and rubbed my thumb along razor and that fucks your thumb up. Lol.
@@xXPaul462Xx i use the sink technique too, it helps a lot. I shave my head every week because otherwise it looks bad
Do you guys hate yourself for the balding or bald look?If so,how you cope with it?
@@diptanilchaki4328 In the beginning balding hits hard, real hard. Feels like you are losing part of your identity, i started to hate myself a lot.
But one day i decided to shave my head, i was very embarrassed so i used a cap for months. One day i just decided to accept the new me, i took the cap and i went to a party, a girl liked my bald, i was so happy.
So, what i can say is, mourn for your lost hair, but don't forget to accept your new self.
I remember when I started to lose my hair, i embraced a skin bald head immediately. No regrets.
Same here. I was bittersweet until I looked in the mirror and was sold
I'm still in my 20's but my hair starterd grow White and i can't stand this so i starterd to cut my hair at 0.2cm and some times i shave myself bald. Who needs hair anyway? 🤣🤣🤣
@@hackn001 white hair looks cool you’re tripping my boy
@@escobarrich8753 i really cant see myself with White hair, not so young at leaat...
@@hackn001 receded hairlines are big in my family, I just shaved my head(mid20-s) and this look is here to stay! I feel great!
I’m balding and this gave me a little more confidence to let it go
Meechie Meech DO IT
You'll look good bald, go for it. Like Shaq always says, bald is beautiful
I started to get bald in my early 20's. Just go for it! It's fresh and clean and you'll be surprised how many women dig it :)
@Cryptic its better to be bald than balding my friend
@@Jspd360 true statement🤍🤍
i was not expecting to see this in my feed. and i do not intend on shaving my head whatsoever, but i still watched the whole thing
lol
Go Bald, BUT be LEGENDARY.

Hello love, don’t give up and there’s still hope for you love and you don’t have to be bald if you don’t want to and that shaving your head bald is not the only solution when you’re hair is going bald or falling out. Just to let you know that i am an hair growth and scalp and follicle care specialist and I’ve been researching and educating myself about hair loss and hair growth issues and bald spots and hair thinning and thin edges and alopecia and alopecia areata for about almost 6 years now so I know a lot about hair growth and hair loss, so definitely let know if you want to know more… @LeBeautiful •
He’s a true leader in the bald community 👩🏾🦲
I'm happy to see bald women embrace the look too in this sexist world we live in they needs to get with the style mullets are out again and bald head is in hate it or love it
Am loving this, never knew being bald can involve so much hair care. More reason to spoil myself in the nearest future.
Thanks for the tutorial dude it was really informative. Being a bald man I am sick of getting ingrown hairs and having a bumpy head. If I have to be bald I want to at least have a nicely shaved head
I absolutely love this. I have almost the same way of shaving, head and everything. Thanks mane. Great video
If you are shaving bald for the first time: _Do not shave against the grain._
You don't know if you have sensitive skin. You will also have irritation. So shave with the grain the first few times to get your skin used to it. Trust me.
Exactly, most black men can't shave like that anyway.
No lie, went against the grain and had razor bumps/burn a few days later. Couldn’t even touch my head bro. Way too painful
Truth
How can I tell what is against the grain at the top of my head?
@@Adrien_broner Whichever direction you brush or comb your hair for it to lay down smoothly is with the grain. Against is usually the opposite direction of how you normally brush or comb.
Great video! I just started shaving my head and still learning. Can wait to try the steamed towel !
I lost my hair due to a procedure and didn’t accept it at first. I’m in shape and have a nice shaped head. I embraced the look and grew a nice low cut beard. Looks better than I imagined. Reinvent yourself and rock it with confidence. It’s all about your attitude
Love the confidence of this man..
Thanks for this. Been bald for years and genuinely didn’t know how to fully shave my head without the razor bumps and discomfort. This is much appreciated.
Which part about it helped stop or prevent the razor bumps?
we should start spamming this to ksi
yep
Cuz he’s black ???? Why not Logan
@@rolix3282 stop
Someone upload this comment to KSI's reddit and include me in the the shot thx
Quality razor: 4 blades 0:56
Little Bowl and shaving cream
Brush
Mix cream in bowl with brush then apply to head (already shorn)
Switch up blades after every 5 shaves or so.
Follow grain of the head of first head shave.
Use minimum pressure, it’s a fresh razor.
Rinse out excess cream and hair in razor.
Use one single blade for the back of the ears 4:40
Shave the head crease lol
Steam towel 5:30
Wrap head in the towel.
Helps to prevent ingrown hairs
Use an astringent around the back of neck to avoid bumps.
Wait till if fully air dries until the moisturizer
Aftershave balm - start at back of neck and move forward
Last spf - sheisedo spf 50+
Thanks
This is a fine art, don't get it twisted. I use the shower scrub sponge on my head after i finish shaving. Comes out very smooth.
Hey men as a lady i just wanna say you look real nice bald especially if you have a well kept beard and eyebrows 😉😍
If your hair is thinning and you're considering going bald do it this man looks great
Solid tips, and very well structured.
Thanks for the BOSS video with A-1 step by step guide to exactly what I was hoping for. 👍👍
👑💎💯
Thanks bro, going to get my supplies 👏🏾💪🏾
Ive noticed as a man thinning on top when the times ive shaved bald, body and clothes can compliment the bald look. His look is well i think because of his fit tone arms, chest etc.. and fit shirt. I noticed shirts that fit well around my torso i look better bald. When a shirt is loose wrinkly i don't feel the same way about myself with baldness. Hit the gym and fit shirts are a must for baldies imo but do whats best for you too.
You had guys like 2Pac & DMX etc that were skinny but bald but they also had presence about them so it all depends on the person
Thanks. Came out great for me💪🏾✊🏾
Looking good! Thanks for the tips
Yo, first timer, this was a game changer 🤙🏾💯
Thank you. This i needed.
Thank you so much! I'm learning so I can keep my husband's head up. This was very helpful ❤
I just started shaving .. not by choice , but you sir inspire me ! Ty
Great tips thanks for the review 👍👍👍
I followed this video to the 'T' 2 months ago to shave my aunt's head due excessive hair loss during her chemo treatments. It was her first time being bald and she felt insecure so I took scissors, then clippers to my hair and followed the same routine for my own head. It was my first time ever shaving my head and I didn't cut myself. I rate this video.
get it girl!!! ♥ I hope your aunt is doing well!
@@nicoley2133 she passed away shortly after, but she was like a second mom so I’m happy I did it.
You're an amazing person for doing that. Thank you! Your act of love is the true definition of beauty and compassion.
Thank you for that. I have been thinking about shaving my balding head off, thanks for the motivational words at the end. I'm hoping I'll look great and start to love myself again :) thank you
This is so useful thank u so much
Really great video ! Definitely going to use this technique for my next shave 😎
Super helpful video. Thanks

Thank you for sharing this. Very informative and wel put together video.
Great video…thank for sharing. Simple
Great job!
The comments are so wholesome ❤️🥰
hi GQ just trying to give my hubby a bold shave for his cuz wedding and wifie going to do it and youtube to the rescue and your step to step was very understanding I just don't want any razor bumps on his head thz.
I just started shaving my head. Great video. Thanks
Definitely an advocate for the head shave. Great tips but would recommend either a hot towel or shower prior. This is more to get the hair roots to stand. I tend to finish with a smal amount of bay rum on my bonce
Excellent video!
Love it!!
just started shaving my head, thanks for this! Great tips. Need the name of those lofi beats tho.
All GREAT choices!!!
I've used Gillette razors for decades now and never noticed the razor on the back. You just blew my mind.
Thank you King!
Good video, thanks for sharing.
Why does this guy look like Ice Cube and Eddie Murphy at the same time 😂😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who see that! Cool combination, tho.
Seriously how are your eyebrows this perfect 😍
Thanks now I can shave my sisters head while she’s sleeping
Thanks man. Been struggling with this as its new for me. I can grow hair.. I just get an itchy scalp and that goes away when I shave. I have been struggling shaving and I got the razor type wrong. I also like the bald head feel. It does feel nice. Wish I had your lovely skin tone :-)
Thank You so much for this great video - looking forward to being over on the Bald Side :)
Yea. My man looks great. Been doing my head bald for a while now, and I really appreciate your tips.
Great video 👍👍👍👍
i just clicked for the thumbnail!! lol

I use Tend Skin as an astringent as well... I love it. I follow it up with Nivea Cooling Post Shave Balm. No razor bumps!! I've been shaving my head for 18 years.
Nice thanks I just cut all my hair off today. Thanks for the tips
That’s what I’m aiming towards.
Bald, beard and muscular. Total badass.
5:47 you knew it’s at the right temperature when it’s touchable😊😅
Thanks bro!
Ordered the products... Ran through the process... BUMPED UP like CRAZY. Straight edged razor shaving isn't for everyone... Plain and simple.
😂😂😂😂. The back of my neck looks like nestle crunch, my whole head is irritated… but I was shaving very wild going in 100 different directions… your comment made me scared to do it now. I met this older guy today he says he just uses hot water, shaving cream and a bic razor shaving against the grain.
Anyone know which razor he is using? I’m ordering one and finally taking the plunge 😅
I just shaved my head for the first time. It's great! I wish I had watched this video first though.
Clean shaven head looks so classy & very stylish 💯👍✨
Any link where we can buy the shaver and the other products you are using please?
Good tips and info! You really make some good points. Your step by step was amazing. I can relate to ALL that you covered. I rock a bald head, and I will use your info in the near future. Thanks for the video. It is much appreciated. Peace.
Thanks for the video. My hair is gone today. Its the last day but this helps.
I started out with balding clippers to gillette fusion to remington balder pro. For the last 3 months I've been using The Leaf razor and it is by far my go to. The razor is kinda expensive but the blades are super cheap and it will pay for itself in a year or less. It uses single edge blades. I use it with Arko shave soap and a boar hair shaving brush. I get absolutely no bumps. For my face I've been using a Merkur 34C safety razor with Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream or Cremo shaving cream. My face stay smooth and bump free. I've been using the safety razor for a good 15yrs. After my shave I use a Alum block and finish my head off with a moisturizer. Same with my face. Anybody who gets shaving bumps should definitely use a safety razor.
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT VIDEO!!
Godbless you always and your family. I want a sincerely opion which cartridge razor is the best for head shaving.
Do you have a link for all your equipments you used here?
Appreciate the video G🙏🏾 only thing I didn't see was a prewash.....
3 questions:
1. you’re using long strokes, but usually short strokes are advised
2. I presume if the hair is grown out a bit, it’s a good idea to use a clipper first and cut it down first?
3. What about one of those single-blade safety razors like bevel? Similar procedure?’or do you recommend the multi-blade style?
mans shaving a bald head already lol
Thank You Brother God Bless!
I have feared going back to the razor after experiencing that "Nestle Crunch" look. I've been using clippers but it's not as clean as I want it, after watching this video I have the confidence to try it again. I got all the tools so I'm excited to give it a go. Thanks for the video.
How it turned out to be? What's your new thoughts on shaving head with razors?
@@josefinafinosa7502 I followed the instructions step for step. And let me tell you. I love it! Bye bye clippers. I don't get any razor bumps at all. No irritation. And I get a close clean shave.
How often do you shave with the razor? I too am nervous about going back to razor shaving after bumping up bad.
I'm balding slightly but I know in a few years I'm probably gonna shave it. Not really worried anymore, vids like these kinda get me feeling the bald look
Same bro!
I’m 15 with bald spots on my hair, might try going bald
Which cartridge razor you recommend me for head shaving. Sincerely youre best that you use .
He looks like ice cube without a cube
So he's an ice ball
Lol!
Thanks, thinking about doing the same.
How do you know which direction to shave?
Power move with the crest on the back of the head never thought about that
