Just shaved my head
« on: August 01, 2009, 09:25:30 PM »
Hi all, my name is Todd, I just wanted to introduce myself as I've just joined this forum.

I've been buzzing my hair for a few years and recently decided to shave it. I nicked myself a few times in the back of the head but so far am very happy. Stumbled accross this forum a few days ago while researching best ways to shave your head. I have been losing weight by training for a triathlon and wanted to do something drastic to help motivate me to keep the weight off. I can't wait to get in the pool without my swimcap, it's going to be awesome.

Welcome Todd,

The first shave is the worst, maintenance shaving is much easier and quite enjoyable  8)

Welcome, I think a lot of the guys would agree that it does have an effect of making you want to get more fit.  Just another benefit of the Sly Life.

Thanks for all the kind words, one thing I noticed is that my scalp is a little pale due to not being in the sun. Hopefully this will blend in soon with the rest of my head. The good thing is I don't really tan so it shouldn't take too long.
