    We also save a ton of time in the shower. But I just spend that extra time crying in the shower because I have no hair.

      I bought a wireless hair clipper in February of 2020 for $50 on Amazon. Every few weeks I go out in my back yard and buzz it all off in about 5 minutes. I’m definately happy.

        I’m using my electric shaver to trim my own hair (it came with a facial hair trimmer, and I may have stretched the boundaries of my face slightly)

      No shit, I need to get in on the shaved head deal. The guy who’s been cutting my hair since I was a teenager now charges $80 for a haircut and beard trim. Like man, I’m blue collar, I can’t afford that shit!

        $80?! Even places being premium seem to be about $50 from my experience. I guess I haven’t been to one of those in a few years, so inflation may have bumped it up.

      Get a DE Razor. You can buy a 100 pack of blades for the price of 4 cartridge type blades. Plus they give a way better shave! They aren’t as forgiving as the cartridge type though so you’ll need to take your time until you get the knack of a DE razor.

        Ya, tried the safety razor route multiple times, but always end up going back to cartridges.

        Theyre easier to use (especially when im in a hurry) and dont irritate my skin as much

          I get the store brand 4 blade cartridges $20 for a 12 pack with a handle. Lasts me about three years shaving twice a week.

          I try the DE again every so often but am never happy with it. The soap puck and brush are great though. The only time I use canned foam is when traveling.

      This. Decent shampoo is only around $10 a bottle, and if you have short hair, you really only need a thimble full at a time. For those who think they need more: the lather is a lie!

        I’ve been using the same bottle of shampoo for like 2 years and it’s maybe a little less than half full. I use it to make bubble baths sometimes too lol

    I’m bald. Yesterday I was at the store buying soap and started looking for shampoo for bald people. Couldn’t find anything so figured I’d Google it (I didn’t).

    I don’t know, I still use normal shampoo to wash my head. I have dry skin and figured using normal soap on my scalp would make it worse. All this to say I’m not saving any money.

      I’ve been shaving my head for fundraising events as well as my own health-related reasons off and on for ~20 years. My dermatologist suggested a specific face wash and moisturizer/sunscreen for me due to rosacea/eczema/skin allergies, so I’ve been using the same on my scalp whenever I shave it. The brand she recommended to me for both is CeraVe, so that’s what I’ve been using for several years now.

      Old Spice makes a bald care wash. I really enjoy it. Exfoliates nicely, smells really good, and moisturizes.

          Right but if the soap and shampoo are similarly priced you’re spending the same amount of money. I also use Bronner’s and shampoo but I don’t remember how much they cost sadly, though I feel like it’s pretty close?
