For those of you who have decided that shaving your head is the way to go, here are some tips:
Shaving your head
Tips from Dr. Steve May, the founder of Body Tools:
1: Before shaving your head for the first time, be sure to trim your hair with scissors before shaving – don’t just take a razor to longer strands. This ensures a closer and most importantly, an easier head shave.
2: Be sure to shave your head after a warm shower. The heat and water make hair softer and easier to cut, which reduces the likelihood of razor bumps and unsightly ingrown hairs. Apply a generous dollop of a moisturizing shave cream or gel and massage it into your scalp for a few minutes, allowing the product to soften hair even more.
3: Use a new blade each time you shave your head. Shave against the grain and use slow, even strokes without applying pressure to the scalp. Rinse the blade frequently to ensure that the blades aren't clogged with lather and hair.
4: After shaving, rinse well to remove all product and check your head out carefully in the mirror for any spots that you might have missed.
5. Finally, apply a soothing aftershave and/or moisturizer like Body Tools SPF 15 (After Shave Repair & Protect) to your scalp to keep ingrowns at bay. Regardless of the product you choose, be sure that it contains sunscreen – a peeling head is never attractive!

After I have shave my head you can still see the outline of my hair line. Along the sides just above the ears and above the neck but not all the way up the back of the head.
How do you get rid of that and have a complete bald look. Even make the head shiny

I have the same problem. I shave my head yet you can still see my hairline. It is frustrating!

I have a trick for shaving the back of my head and making sure I don't miss anything. hold the razor in one hand and lead with the other hand. So I run a couple of fingers on my left hand along the scalp around where I am going to shave, followed by the razor. If I feel I missed some hair then I can shave the spot again. In pretty quick time I can make sure I have no hair left, even on the back where I can't see.
