Many thanks to the forum members on here that took the time to help guide me in this process. As my handle states, I've bald/shaven for over 20 years and only by accident, I discovered how hair systems have evolved to a point where it is almost undetectable. I did as much research as possible, but I felt asking for personal opinions straight from the users was the best way to make to help me make an informed decision.
So I went ahead and decided to give this a try and finally had my first install about 8 days ago. Overall, it has been a positive experience, but still feel short of expectations. The positive is there is still tons of room for improvements. After all, I always knew there would be an adjustment period to get that right style I want and it would be through trial and error.
Today I had no choice but to remove my unit due to discomfort sensations from the back of my head/crown area. I started scratching it recently and realize small bumps were forming which felt like pimples. I thought I could ignore it and let it go away but I caught myself scratching it way to often and under an abundance of caution, decided to take off the unit to examine my scalp.
My initial thoughts were correct, but it wasnt as bad as expected in terms of redness and milkiness. Maybe because it was discovered early and would eventually turn into nasty pimples. However there were 4 times as many pimples than I was expecting.
I was hoping for some advice on how to avoid this and also to learn the cause of the problem. Was it the ghost bond or the miniture ingrown hair trapped by the poly unit? Or maybe my body chemistry requires more frequent cleansing of the area?
Thanks everyone
