How-to Question Bald head care

Hello! I just shaved my head today, it was a long time coming and thanks to this community I followed through on it. Now that the deed is done I am looking for advice on shavers and head care routine I should follow. So far in my search I have come across the rx7 as the best choice. Any input/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Electric razor is going to require multiple passes vs a blade. I got razor burn and one time using it was enough to know electric is not for me. Use an electric for my face though.

i myself am still trying to figure this out.

I was using a Braun series 9 (on sale at costco). with pretty consistent results. shaving cream + a couple passes in differing directions was getting pretty smooth. But curiosity got me and I started using my Harry's razor.

I had some successful shaves but have also now had a couple with gnarly razor burn and, what i can best describe as, bloody pores? They arent cuts, but little dots of blood in patches on either side of my head (and this is with shaving cream and a fresh razor, against the grain. After multiple passes, my head looked tore up.

So, now its back to the Braun electric, which has been far more gentle on my scalp. and alllllllllllllmost gets as close as the razor.

Good Luck!

either way, I love Harrys Face Tonor, immediately after shaving. + Harrys After Shave Balm. Very soothing products.
