Newly Bald by Choice
« on: March 07, 2010, 07:08:04 PM »
Well, I usually keep my hair pretty short.  These days no more than a number 2 or 3, usually around number 1.  Last summer I did the clipper shave, so I guess that would be 0. 

But just this Friday, I went all the way.  I did it for a good cause, raising about $1000 for St. Baldrick's - a great organization.  They just did the clipper shave, but since I agreed to shave my head for kids with cancer, I went home and used my new HeadBlade.  I like the look, and will definitely keep it through the coming summer.  Easier to put sunscreen on my pasty Irish skin anyway.

During the winter, I'll grow my hair back, I think, especially so I can get it shaved again for St. Baldrick's. 

It's great to find this forum and website ... lots of great information and resources.  So I'm glad to be here and I look forward to learning from all of you!

Peace,
Pat

Welcome, and don't feel like you're obligated to grow it back, a St. Baldrick's shave can work if it's only 24 hours worth--can't it!

Saint Baldrick's is an awesome organization.  They do great work, and their events are a ton of fun.  I'm hooked and will be doing it every year if I can.  You get a great look and help a lot of kids in the process.

Pat, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  That was a great reason to shave your head!

Welcome Pat.  That was a great way to join the world of the sly.  Kudos on raising such a great sum for those kids.

Aloha Pat,

Welcome to SBG's. I too believe in St. Baldricks although I didn't know about them when I shaved my dome. Keep up the great work!

Too bad I don't have anything to shave. A very good reason to shave the dome.

Exactly. That's why next year I'll probably start growing it again after Christmas, so that I have something to shear on St. Baldrick's day.
