« on: July 18, 2009, 05:59:02 AM »
Gav's my name, or more commonly BiG G

ive just recently gone bald by choice

or down as far as guardless clippers anyway

my hair to no hair story......

until earlier this year i had very long natural dreadlocks:


hacked them off with kitchen shears one night resulting in this:


next i had a blue mohican for a while, but that was waaay too much maintainnance, alas no pic

anyway i clipper it all off nowadays, and frankly wish id done it years ago:


stuff about me.....

im a freelance computer geek/musician from the NW of Scotland

like japanese, australian and french independant cinema

musically i like most of the harder end of things, punk, metal, dance..... also really *good* pop and random obscurities

so yeah

hi folks

cheers
Gav.

maybe im odd, but i prefer to have stubble

even on my facial hair, ive never liked being clean shaven, i prefer just to use unguarded clippers on that too

cheers for the welcome

the hair took probly 15 years to grow

glad its gone now tho!

Gav

Welcome to the site. I had long hair back in the 70's but never dreds. I am going to agree with the rest of the group though. Shaving the head will give you a great feel. Try it for 30 days as they say here and if you miss the stubble I promise it will reappear faster than the dreds.

Cheers!  b!3r

Welcome to SBG!  Great intro!
