I've been shaving my head with a pair of clippers for over 10 years, what we call a 'Skinhead' hair cut in the UK, ever since I really started to go bald, and alternating between that and long hair since I was 15. But for the last decade I've continued to use shampoo, anti-dandruff mostly. I though it was necessary to maintain a healthy scalp, despite being mostly bald. I would still get a bit of dandruff and after every shower, my scalp would be really dry, then really oily until the next shower, when the cycle would begin all over again.
Well, I read this thread and for the last 3 or 4 weeks, maybe more, no shampoo, I just rub my scalp briefly with my hands under the shower and dry vigorously with a towel when I get out. Right from the start, I had no itchiness, no unpleasant smell, no dryness and my scalp is not really oily at all anymore. I should've done this ages ago! I haven't washed my face with soap or shower gel for at least twenty years and my skin has been far healthier for it, I really should have figured this out sooner.
Best of all, I'll save money too, which I can put towards a nice shaving soap.
Cheers!
