The ex-Olympic swimmer shares his tips
Just like any other hair routine, shaving your head takes serious patience, practice and skill. Here, Michael Klim, Olympic swimming gold medallist and co-founder of skin care brand Milk & Co shares his top tips for getting a close shave.
1
Apply an oil
To protect your head from the shaver, nourish the skin with an oil that’s rich in vitamins and essential oils - Milk & Co Body Oil works well here.

2
Trim it short
With clippers (like Remington Rapid Cut Hair Clippers) on the 0 setting, trim the hair all over.

3
Have a look
Facing away from the mirror, hold another mirror in front of you so you can see the back of your head. Check for any uneven spots.
4
Add moisture
Follow by applying a lightweight moisturiser all over, and massage it in with your fingers.
