Hi Younglace; your unit looks good - a nice low-key easy-care style.

It sounds like Got2BGlued is not for you. With a brushed down style like that you could use all tape - I would recommend Walker No-Shine for the back and sides, and 3-mil tape for the hairline. Or you could use one of the many water-based glues for the hairline. Most seem to give a 7-14 day hold for the average wearer. Personally I use Davlyn, but ORWG (oil resistant white glue) is also very popular. You can get a few extra seconds to move your piece into place by spraying your head or the base of your piece with a mist of 99% isopropyl alcohol just before you put it on. The alcohol boils off and doesn't affect the bond. Any supplies that Toplace doesn't carry you can get from Hair Direct or on eBay. The cheapest source of the alcohol is probably your local pharmacy or DIY store, but availability differs from place to place.

I personally use an electric razor to shave the area under my piece. Using a wet razor gets a slicker finish, but can cause itchiness and irritation. I think the electric version is good enough if you are maintaining weekly.
