You can tell by the pictures that this new little head shaving machine is bad ass!  It's made of solid, gun metal painted, stainless steel.  It also comes with blackened out wheels and a kick stand. 

The S4 Shadow is the follow up to the ever popular and sold out S4 that HeadBlade came out with in 2004.

Don't hesitate to get your hands on one of the beauties as like the original S4, these may sell out fast!  They are perfect as a gift, so if you're looking for what gift to give the baldie in your life, this is it!

Most of us are on Facebook, right?  If you answered "yes" then you need to become a fan of Sly Bald Guys.  Look to the left of this page to find out how.  But, that's not why you're reading this so let me get to the point of this post.

In the last couple of days I've seen a lot of my friends get confused as to the new Facebook layout.  What's this Live Feed vs. News Feed thing?  Here's what the Facebook blog had to say:

"At Facebook, one of our main priorities is helping you stay on top of
what is going on with the people and things you care about most. That's
why today we are beginning to roll out some changes to the home page
that simplify your experience by offering two views of News Feed: a
summary view of the most interesting activity that's happened in the
last day and a real-time view that shows you what is happening right
now.


You will be able to catch up on what you may have missed while you were
away from Facebook and then easily switch to the real-time stream when
you want to see posts as soon as they're shared. Here's how it works:

News Feed

When you log into Facebook, you'll see the most interesting things that
happened in the last day in the "News Feed" view. News Feed picks
stories that we think you'll enjoy based on a variety of factors
including how many friends have liked and commented on it and how
likely you are to interact with that story.

Live Feed

Once you've caught up on what you missed, you can click through to
"Live Feed" to see what's happening right now. As long as you remain
logged into Facebook, you'll continue to see posts and activity from
your friends in real-time. You can edit what appears in this view by
clicking "Edit Options" at the bottom of the home page."

Here's another tip:

If you just want to see people's status updates when you first login, do the following:

Look over to the bottom, left side of the page on Facebook.  You should see a link to Status Updates.  Click on this and hold down the left mouse button.  Now drag that link to the top, just above News Feed.  Now when you login, you'll see the Status Updates first.

I hope this helps!  Now become a fan of Sly Bald Guys!

Looking for an electric razor to shave your head with?  Conair has now released the CleanHead Rechargeable Head Groomer.  According to Conair's website, this electric razor does the following:

"CleanHead™ is specifically designed for clean and ultra-close cuts. The
patent-pending, angled shaving head technology includes comfort rollers
that guide the shaving foils along the contours of the head for the
most effective cutting. The universal soft grip fits comfortably in the
palm of the hand, enabling the user to shave with either hand in any
direction."

You can learn more about the razor by going to the site http://www.iKnowHeads.com.

To date no one here at Sly Bald Guys has tried out the CleanHead, but if you have or are interested in giving it a try, you can get one at Amazon.com.

One of the common questions that we get at Sly Bald Guys is "how long should the razor blade last?"  While this appears to be a simple question, the answer is not so simple.  There are many factors that lead to the degradation of a razor blade.  It could be wear and tear, rust, or even the way you store it. 

Several of the guys have tried drying their razor after use, storing their razor in mineral oil or other oils, and others just hang the razor on the wall.
