Just checking in!
« on: January 05, 2010, 01:54:56 AM »
Hello everyone. I finally took the plunge and went sly. I have been debating about it for almost half a year now. I have been surfing these forums for over two weeks now and I must say everyone is great here. I wanted to personally thank everyone for all the information that you have put forth and the great help you have given me in getting to where I am now. I have learned so much from these forums and am not sure what I would have done with out them.

About myself: A few years back I had a full head of hair, then trimmed it. Then I trimmed it even more down to a #1 guard. Then just used the trimmer without a guard a year ago and have been doing that up until last night. I finally took the plunge and went all the way. I used a norelco arcitec electric razor to do the job. It did a fairly great job. I have that shadow on my head though and just a little velcro feeling but not much. I use a electric shaver on my face daily because I would get razor burn with normal razors on my neckline in the past due to having to shave everyday for my job. After reading all the information on here, I have decided to take the risk and try to manually shave my head. I ordered a bunch of supplies from headblade.com a few hours ago and cant wait for them to come in! I just hope the irritation and worries that came with my neck long ago do not happen on my head.

I am loving my new style and can not say enough about the great people on these forums. I just hope my fiance will start to like the new style. We have been together for 7 years and she has enjoyed my hair from extremely long all the way to when I barely had any. I then shaved it to nothing last night and she says she hates it. So Ill give it the 30 day trial and hope she turns  :XX.

Once again thanks for all the helpful advice everyone and I look forward to talking with everyone on these forums!

Thanks,
Andy

Good morning Andy.  So glad you decided to join our group.  I think in time the woman in your life will come around.  At least to accept the new you.  When you get a chance, post a picture so we may see who we are talking to. Again, welcome and hope you stick around for good conversations.

Andy, welcome to SBG!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
