Manumission Shave Gel Review

I have been trying out Manumission Shave Gel by Fightceuticals, Inc and let me tell you that it packs a punch!

When I first opened the tube I was pleasantly shocked at the citrus scent that filled the air. I immediately thought, "I really hope the shave lives up to the smell."

I then squeezed about a dime size amount into my hand, lathered it up, and rubbed it on my dome. With the first stroke I could tell that Manumission Shave Gel was going to rival popular head shaving brands.

The shave gel is one of the first shave gels that I've tried that provided a very slick shave and offered great protection against burn and cuts. Usually shave gels and creams provide one or the other. This is all done with key ingredients such as:

    Allantoin
    Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera)
    Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
    Glycerin
    Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil
    Menthol
    Tocpheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)

While this product wasn't created specifically for the head shaver, I recommend that every head shaver give it a try once, especially if you have a problem with irritation.

Zach Lund - Olympian that has embraced his baldness

The last time Zach Lund got as much press as he's getting now is because he got labeled a cheater right before the 2006 Winter Olympics. His accusations came from the fact that he was using Finasteride to try to keep his hair. Check out this latest article on ABC News about how Zach Lund has embraced his baldness and is thriving because of it.

Is Toronto Ready for a Bald Mayor

Mike Strobel of the Toronto Sun poses that question to his readers in his humorous column. You can read a few excerpts below, but make sure you check out the article to see who got quoted...

After all, for two centuries, Toronto voters have accepted a motley mayoral mob of thugs, traitors, cons, Bible-thumpers, syphilitic weirdos and lawyers and David Miller.

But are we open to a chrome-dome?

"Weaves, transplants, comb-overs and rugs dont count. Even if they are only suspected.

I mean Stephen Harper keeps getting elected prime minister and his hair hasnt moved an inch in about 15 years.

No, Im talking shorn, shaved, shiny pates. Like mine, for instance."

Admittedly, a bald mayor carries risks.

When he tosses his hat in the ring, he might get sunburn. He drives TV cameramen crazy, especially on bright days. Faithful followers can go blind. (With those teeth, Rossi is a double threat.)

Facebook's Live Feed vs News Feed

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!

Conair CleanHead Electric Razor

"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.

How long should your razor blade last?

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 want to find out how long guys are able to use their razors before having to chuck them, check out this thread - How long do razor blades last.
