Head shaving has become very popular! For many it is a fashion statement. Then again, in cases of male pattern baldness, some men choose to shave their heads completely rather than have the typical horseshoe pattern of head hair.

Whatever the reason behind the move to a shaven or closely shaven head, the following information will help make the transition easier and minimize the discomfort.

Head Shaving Tips:

• When head shaving using an electrical hair trimmer, use olive oil rather than machine oil for lubrication. Then if the oil comes in contact with the skin, olive oil will be much better for the scalp, especially if there are nicks during head shaving.
• Disposable razors are not very suitable for head shaving. They wear out too quickly.
• For great head shaving results, Invest in a good hand razor from a reputable company such as Wilkinson Sword or Gillette and make sure you always shave with a sharp blade.
• When starting with a full head of hair, trim it off first using an electric razor before using a hand razor. Start with the sides or the back and clip close to the scalp.
• To reduce the risk of cuts and razor burn when head shaving it is essential for the hair and the scalp to be thoroughly moist so that the hair follicles and skin are soft before shaving.
• Head shaving in the shower at the end of a showering session can make it easier. By then the hair and scalp have been wet for many minutes. Less shaving cream is also required. Apply the shaving cream to small areas at a time so that it doesn't melt away too quickly.
• For head shaving outside the shower, splash the hair and scalp with water over a sink or wrap a hot wet towel around the head for a couple of minutes. Then apply a thick layer of shaving cream, about a half an inch thick, to the entire head. Leave for five minutes before starting to shave.
• When head shaving, avoid repeat strokes over the same area to minimize the risk of nicks and razor burn.
• If the hair growth is at the stubble stage, long strokes covering several inches may be possible.
• If the hair is longer, or if it has just been trimmed with electric clippers, make very small strokes no more than about half an inch.
• Start head shaving where the hair is thickest so the blade is at it's best for the tougher areas. Finish off at the lighter areas.
• When you start head shaving, wet the razor with hot water and make a stroke about an inch long wherever you decide to start. Subsequent strokes can then be made from this starting point at the best angle for cutting close to the scalp and at the base of the hair.
• Some prefer to use a mirror initially until they gain experience with head shaving. After some time however, many find it more awkward with one than without one. Shaving by touch comes with experience.
• After head shaving, run the fingers over the scalp so that missed areas are easily identified. Then carefully go over the area again. Be careful not to do this more than once or twice to avoid nicks or razor burn.
• Rinse the head and dry off.
• To really speed up the healing process after head shaving for nicks, apply vitamin E oil to the scalp.
• Pure aloe vera gel is very good for soothing distressed skin from head shaving. It will also add a high shine to the scalp.
• Be sure to allow sufficient time for head shaving. Rushing may result in numerous nicks and cuts especially when shaving this part of the body.

Be prepared initially for a new, strange sensation when head shaving. The scalp will be very sensitive and a rush of cool air such as a breeze outside can be quite an experience!

A living trust is where you entrust certain properties and or funds to either one individual or group of people, using a trust you set up while you are living and in the right state of mind. The person or people become you beneficiaries and you can change your living trust at any point in time that is needed.

There are four different parties to a Living Trust. One is the Grantor, the grantor is the person who sets the trust up. Next is the Trustee, this will be the person or persons who will manage the Trust Assets. Then we have the Successor Trustee, who also manages the Trust Assets when the Trustee has passed away or becomes unable to make the decisions any longer. The Successor Trustee will have the same amount of control over the Trust as the Trustee had. They can buy, sell, borrow, or transfer any and all parts of the trust. Finally, we have the Beneficiaries, this is the person or persons who receives the assets of the trust. Beneficiaries are often called heirs.

People can abuse a Living Trust so you need to be careful whom you have set up yours. A few things to look out for are ones that will tell you having a Living Trust will decrease your income taxes, which is not true. You will have complete control over your trust and since you can cancel it at any time you retain the assets and hence continue to pay the taxes on it. If an estate is involved, you will still be responsible for any and all taxes on the property.

Living Trust are not cheaper than wills, since you have to pay to move the assets around and with a will you simply state who will own the assets at the time of your death. Or possibly you have heard that if you have a Living Trust then you dont need a Will. This is not true though; you still need a Will for properties and other assets not covered by the Living Trust. A will also makes sure your final wishes are followed. A Living Trust is as venerable as a Will is, you need to make sure that you have expressed your wishes thoroughly and that you have them properly drawn up. This will not only help make sure your wishes are followed after you have passed away, but also make sure your loved ones do not unnecessary issues to deal with.

You might also want to check into Estate Planning and make sure you have all of your taxes in order. This includes state taxes and federal taxes. No matter how much or little property you own, you need to be sure that all of the financial needs are met. You also need to avoid Living Trust Kits. These do it yourself Kits are generally frauds and you send money while not receiving anything in return or the proper information. You can help yourself in choosing someone to draw up your Living Will by knowing some of the terms involved. One such term is Probate. Probate is where you, your trustee or beneficiary goes to a Probate court with a list of your assets. However, this process can be very expensive and take a lot of time. You need to know before hand if you even have to go this route since you might be able to use the Expedited or Unsupervised Probate. You can find out this information from your local clerk's office.

If you think of hiring a company to do your Living Trust, you have a couple of options to check and see if they are truly legitimate. You can check with your attorney, who might have the means and knowledge of helping you draw up your Living Trust. You can also go to the Better Business Bureau to find out if the company you are thinking of using is actually legit.

Arguably, love is the most important, sort after, misplaced and trouble making experience of our lives. As if the soul of human beings is directed at love as a pre programmed target, and all else is simply distraction.

To love your work, your past, your future. Love might just be the soul purpose of life. Love is not holistic. To love something, anything it seems, might be enough. To love self or a Guru, might satiate the hunger. To love a dog or cat, friend or business, to love a sport or environment maybe the love, real love of something is enough for the soul to feel purpose and therefore rest in the journey.

For me, the love of anything other than a person has rarely lasted. I love what I do, but deep down, theres a part of me wanting to achieve something as a result of what I do, therefore it is not real love. I love going to Nepal and climbing up those magnificent Himalayan slopes, but, I feel that this is an addition to my life, therefore its not real love.

I have friends I love, deeply, they are wonderful. But their lives are not entwined with mine, therefore there is not the depth of provocation that causes me to feel vulnerable, as it seems my soul requires in order to feel satisfied, this love, I think, is not the Real love.

To further challenge my virtue in following the path of Real Love, soul purpose, I found the need to understand a sense of a God in my life. As a spiritual human being, I acknowledge the presence of a creator, the cause of creation. I struggle to put a name or face to this origin of everything. The whole universe comes from a beginning one can never know. From that first thought, like in our own lives, everything began. Who thought it? This is my idea of a creator.

That thought is real love. The original thought. And so, for me, God is love. Love was the first thought, and all that follows it, the creation and destruction of stars and moons and heavens and earths, came from, and exists in, that first thought. Then, maybe my soul purpose is to tune to that first thought? Because it was the first thought, then it exists in everything, everywhere. Maybe this, is the definition of the souls purpose, to see what already is. When I fall in love with a person, I fall because it is new. It is like a new territory, unexplored universes, and I wish to find the love that is hidden in it. But we are distracted. Children, jobs, houses, health, money, careers, friends, family and more. We are distracted from love because these things are treated as separate from it.

People try to parent their children. Achieve in their jobs, own their houses, improve their health, increase their money, succeed in their careers, help their friends, and collude with their family. Such ambitions it seems are normal, but for me, such drivers, lack the love my soul aspires to.

Love is the synthesis of all emotion

To love a child is beyond prescription, but to avoid an emotion with that child is to avoid love. Parents who are afraid to be strong, or soft, of challenge or support. Cannot love, can only placate a child, manipulate and control by non confrontation.

To love a job is to explore challenge, to face the reward and hardship with equal enthusiasm. This seems, for many people, to be the one area of life they are unafraid of, primarily because they are free to be aggressive in this one area of life, tough on themselves to live out their hypnotized expectation of life.

To love a home is a substitute for an understanding and trust of anything bigger than self. The ego thrives in a home that is loved. Self obsession reaches its pinnacle if the home one lives in is a proud and designed environment. Here an individual feels they, and their universe are one. Deluded in an avoidance of their real fear.

Money is essential, the love of money is vital. Obsession and possession with holding, building and creating wealth is the fastest and strongest path to the avoidance of love. For the broken heart, the fearful mind, the belittled spirit, an obsession with collection and protection of money is the antidote to lovelessness.

Small is good. A healthy humility is a rich asset in this grand universe. We are nothing, and it is wise to know it. But is a healthy mind, small is wonderful, because small means we are a part of something huge, and that hugeness is the magnificence of that first thought, the whole of creation, the magnificence of a love beyond. But for most people their smallness is not humility, it is shame and irrelevance. Then they cling to careers that kill them, families that need them. This cave is a shelter from the vulnerability a belittled spirit feels. When a person looses their place in a loving universe, they create a substitute, and this substitute is attachment in which pride, need and safety are at the core. This is not love.

Like a child in a kindergarten, we play with toys. We play innocently thinking that our games are real and like a child in kindergarten, we eventually become bored with the games, we need bigger toys, faster swings, more challenging puzzles. We automatically grow out of our shoes, and we automatically grow out of our obsessions. Soul seeks love and cannot remain inside a body that substitutes.

Take human hardship. Take the purpose of soul. Understand the keys of Soul love real love and our innate desire for it. Like a tree searches for the sun, we too have a life giving quest. That quest is not satiated in anything earthly, it is only guided to grow through them.

Love is not another possession. One finds it for someone, something and one grows and adapts and becomes used to it. The profound becomes the mundane. Therefore in the purpose of the soul, a relationship holds no key other than an initial witnessing of a new possibility and the removal of a distraction. The quest the quest of the soul, will not be satiated within a job, a career, a family, a relationship, a bank account or anything we can build or own.

True happiness, true love comes from the journey, the ongoing quest to witness the beauty of creation. To see beauty in family, money, relationship, career, home is to deconstruct it and in doing so, reveal that first thought of creation within it. That deconstruction is not a moral or ethical one, those are human laws. The deconstruction and the purpose of the soul is to witness the universal laws in all, everything, and therefore evolve, through real life, to real love. Everyday, every hour, another step on the path to the purpose of the soul. It simply wants to go home, from whence it came, home to the thought that created it, through love.

To the body mind there is pain and pleasure, and mine and yours, life and death. But to the soul, no such boundaries exist. It only knows its purpose, though life after life, body after body, all it knows, is that it is away, uncomfortable it wants to go home, to its creator, home to love.

Now, you may understand a little more, why relationships feel so good at first, but might not feel so good at last. When your soul feels love, that falling in love it feels home. But this is not home. This is an earthly reminder of where home really is. And before it reaches that home a million billion such reminders will be required. They, like moments of sunlight nourish, guide and direct its growth, going home, from whence it came. To that first thought, to love.

Live with Spirit
