Day 1 with Pics
« on: June 26, 2010, 12:05:18 PM »
I finally did it! I shaved for the first time yesterday afternoon. It went OK - one minor cut behind the ear and a full blade and a half in the HeadBlade. The wife likes it more than she thought she would (she was against this all the way), my 9 year old son refused to look at me and my 6 year old daughter can't keep from staring. I noticed some missed spots, so I was pretty self-conscious last night. I shaved again this morning and did a much better job, much faster.

Now I just need some sun! Luckily I tan pretty quickly, but still need to balance getting some sun and burning.

The pics attached are Before, During and After. Getting full coverage was more challenging than I thought. Do you guys use a second mirror to see the back of your head? Or is it all just feel??

I'm a bit relieved that my head isn't too oddly shaped. Although the tan patch on the top really needs to blend in :)

I shave in the shower - seems to work better.  Also only use 1 mirror and feel to make sure I got everything

Looks good BTW

Ok, Ed so you have a great shaped head and you look awesome bald.  Just keep going to the pool, I went today for 2 hours.  Very relaxing.  I shave in the shower with a fogless mirror for the top and sides and do the feel for the back.  Welcome

Way to go Ed!  Suits you very well.  I'm a shower shaver too. It's just less mess.  I don't use a mirror unless I shave my face (which I still do at the sink)
