Breaking out the blades again
« on: February 16, 2013, 05:11:32 PM »
So, usually I don't shave my head in the winter cause I'm not overly keen on the blue-grey shadow... I prefer to buzz it down as close as possible and save the razor for the summer when I can get some proper tan on my dome. But tonight in the shower I had a brainwave and thought why not, so out came the blade... and really I wonder what I was thinking, the feeling NEVER grows old, and the confidence boost that follows is just priceless. I went down my local for a beer afterwards and felt like I was three meters tall and made of titanium, enjoying the feeling of a cool breeze on a fresh smooth scalp :@`... good times :)

Bit of a random post but I'm sure everyone here can relate, and hopefully if it can be of encouragement to anyone still on the fence :)

(Hope this is the right section to post this, if not, moderators please feel free to move it, or just nuke it if it is too random)

I totally agree. I find it hard to skip a day ... the feeling of "Fresh Sly" is so rejuvenating.

Eheh good luck, might wanna keep a beanie handy! Though I have to say the feeling of icy winter hair on your head on a crisp clear day is actually very pleasant... for about two minutes ;)

I think you look great, very handsome.  I skipped today because i need to be to work 30 minutes early on Fridays.  Will probably shave when I get home.  Can't stand not being smooth.

Yes, anyone who lives in any kind of windy/cool climate... bring a hat! 

(and be prepared to take it off when on a 90 degree overheated subway train and feel some instant relief--bonus!)

Being retired means I always have the time for a morning shave (head and face), so I cannot remember the last time I missed a days shave.
Once I've showered and shaved it's only then I feel ready to face the day, whatever it may bring.

I used to think 'it's too cold to shave my head, people will think I'm nuts', but when you're a headshaver -it doesn't matter what it is outside -it becomes a 'maintenance' thing, maintaining the look. Plus, you really get un-used to hair on you're head, it's uncomfortable & itchy!

The hair on your head does not keep your head warm a hat does
