Scalp Skin Shaving Question

[nailit]

I shave my head every few days with 'graders' set on a 0 setting. Every couple of weeks or so I give my head a wet shave (as I have tonight).
Just like to know why my scalp feels so different from my face after a wet shave? I get none of the problems that I do with a face/chin shave. I often have shaving rash, cuts, razor burn etc with face but never with scalp.
Just curious. Is it something to do with the fact that head skin is 'tighter' than face skin?
Also get a much smoother wet shave on my bonce than on my chin/face. Why?

How do your legs react when you shave them?

LOL Tills,
Actually done that. (I hate body hair.) Legs? No problem!
Perrinium hair? Different matter!

[Tilly2]

Ouch! Noooooo.

Here you go Nailit.. It's different hair. Hope you and Yours have a lovely Christmas x

"Your body hair is also called Androgenic hair. It is very different from the hair on your head and vellus hair, which are much finer and lighter in color. Androgenic hair is very much associated with levels of male hormones in your system. Because of this, typically men have more androgenic hair than women"

Does that mean beard, mazie.

[mazie]

Yes Tone... Body hair. Hope you have a FAB Christmas xxx

I’d guess that head hair is tightly strewn across your scalp like a drum skin making it easier and faces have loads of nooks and crannies as well as being jiggly so harder.

Just like the difference of a rocket car going across the smooth desert compared with it trying to race off road
