Hello from a 20+ year headshaver by joe mcclaine on 01 Jul, 2010 12:53

What ho, Chaps.
Have been hanging around the shaving forums and have kind of drifted towards this and other head shaving forums.
I've been shaving my head with a razor for over 20 years now, long before it became acceptable and even more surprising - popular.
My reasons for shaving my head were much the same as many blokes - I was growing too tall for my hair . . . and this was when I was 18 . . . so I took the clippers to it for a while before whipping it all off one boring sunday afternoon.
I've used just about everything ever designed to remove hair on my head including a very silly dabble with Immac (now called Veet), straight razors, DE, disposables and cartridges.
There's a few things out there left to try - such as the Headblade range and some things I'd never even considered such as Baby Oil.
At the moment I'm using the same soap that I use for my face - D R Harris Almond - with a badger hair brush (Simpson Tulip 2 2-band) and D R Harris Pink aftershave.
Looking forward to searching past threads and maybe weighing in with advice here and there when I can offer it.

Welcome to the group Joe. Its great to see a pioneer on the message board. I hope you'll share some of your stories of shaving your head back before it was THE hairstyle to have.

Welcome to the SBG forum, from one Joe to another.
You're definitely a shaving veteran, so what do you think about seeing so many with shaved heads out there now? -
