How long should your razor blade last?

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:31:55 -0700

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.

If you read my last article (Find Your Passions) then you've listed all of your passions. If you don't have a list, go back and read the article. That is a crucial first step.

Ok, you have your list and want to know what to do with it. First off, you want to make sure you keep this list as you'll be working down it from priority 1 to the last item on the list.

Take the item on your list that has a priority of 1. This is what you've indicated is your greatest passion. Now it's time to find a website domain name that encompasses what your passion is. What's a domain name? It's the web address, such as SlyBaldGuys.com, that people use to get to your website.

Where do you get a domain name? There are several sites that you can get a domain name, but the site that I use to buy my domain names from is http://www.759domains.com. A domain name cost about $10 a year to own. Don't go off and get your domain name yet! Read this entire article before you do.

Joe the Plumber is a Sly Bald Guy

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:37:16 -0700

You've all heard of Joe in the news. Just make sure you notice his great haircut - a shaved head!

Don't know who Joe the Plumber is? He's the guy that Obama came up to in his own neighborhood, then Joe asked a simple question to Obama. That question, which many believe simply categorized Obama's tax plan. This is what he looks like.

How to build confidence - Take Control

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:46:48 -0700

When a guy loses his hair, he often gets obsessed with the fact that there is little or nothing he can do to actually stop or reverse the hair loss. This lack of control over his own body can really add to the group of things that start to break down his confidence. Its my belief that the feeling of losing control is one of the primary reasons that a man loses his confidence.

The second reason many guys start to lose their confidence is that they progress from not being able to do anything about their hair loss into asking themselves unanswerable questions like, Will people still find me attractive or approve of me? This is especially hard for younger guys in their late teens and early twenties because they have yet to find that person whom has proven that they love them for who they are, not what they look like. Though, this can still cause a problem for older men who think that hair loss might hurt their career or social life.

How can you take control? Its actually really easy and only takes about 20 minutes. Shave your head! Dont buzz it, shave it! Honestly, this is the best answer that Ive found and Ive talked to thousands of guys about their hair loss.

Why does shaving your head work? The act of getting rid of your hair is a very liberating feeling. Your head will feel a bit numb and with your bare scalp showing, your hair loss will be virtually invisible. Head shaving also works because it shows people that you are taking control of the situation and not letting it bug you.

The act of shaving your head, by itself can turn your confidence around. This is the first step to having your confidence back in 30 days.

You might be saying to yourself, Whoa, I dont know if I can do something that drastic! What will people think? What if I cut myself? What if I dont have the right shaped head? Or even a host of other questions. I can assure you that Ive heard them all! The main thing that 99% of guys say after getting over these questions is Why didnt I do this sooner? But to provide a little more help with these questions, Ill answer the most common questions.

What will people think? Im not going to lie to you and tell you that everyone will instantly love you with a shaved head. Actually, the most opposition I hear of is from parents and spouses. But, rarely do friends and co-workers oppose to a guy shaving his head. Actually, almost all the guys I talk to report positive feedback from most everyone.

So what about the parents and spouse? Your parents and spouse want whats best for you, so if they dont like it in the beginning, then eventually they will see how happy it makes you and will realize it is the best thing for you. Give it time.

What if I dont have a good head shape? This is probably the second most common question I hear and the answer is simple. Everyone has a great shaped head for head shaving. Rarely is there a perfect head but the beautiful thing is that people dont look that closely at you do see if you have a perfect head shape or not especially when youre standing there with confidence. They are too busy trying to figure out how to get some of your confidence or get you to like them.

What will women think? I can tell you that women prefer a guy with a shaved head over a guy with patchy hair or a big bald spot. Even more than this, they prefer a guy with confidence. So, when you shave your head and start to get confidence back, youll start to see women becoming more and more attracted to you.

What will people at work think? Its a non-issue. They rarely notice or say anything unless you bring it up yourself. They are too busy worried about them to care if you shaved your head. If they do notice, its almost always a positive reaction.

Shave your head for 30 days straight and you will see an amazing transformation!

The 15 most badass bald guys - DoubleViking.com

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:27:29 -0700

Today, one of our forum members submited a link to a post at DoubleViking.com that outlines their thoughts on the 15 most badass bald guys. All of the badasses that they outline are really characters from movies, tv, or video games. Guys like John McClane, Riddick, Agent 47, Kane, and others (to view the entire list, go to http://www.doubleviking.com/bullet-points-the-15-most-badass-bald-guys-7575-p.html). They also include a video or picture of each guy that they outline along with a funny little bit on why each guy is a badass. Here's what they say about John McClane:

"In the first Die Hard, he had some hair. In the second, he had a
little less. In the third, his hair seemed to be making a beeline for
the back of his skull, and the fourth it was gone altogether. He is
John McClane, and his head is far too badass to tolerate simple hair
follicles."

I'm always glad to see sites (especially big ones like DoubleViking.com) to put bald guys in a positive light. Can anyone think of more badass bald guys that weren't listed?

Head Shaved, Tattoos, and Piercings

nospam@example.com (Tyler) — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:15:11 -0700

These three things often go together. It's not a given, as I myself and several guys here at Sly Bald Guys don't have any piercings or tattoos, but several of the guys do. So, if you're one of those guys that do, feel free to check out the Tattoos and Piercings Board.

This is just an extreme example of how piercings and tattoos can go together with a shaved head.
