Hello all
New member here, and as the title says, so glad I found you guys. My hair has been thinning out for a few years now and I was always keen to go the buzz cut but never had the courage to follow through with it. In November last year I decided enough was enough and shaved down to a number 3. I must say I hated it. Was so thin on top it look pretty ridiculous. So I go searching on the net and come across this site and have had a good read about everyones experiences and as everyone always says, its great to have the support that is offered here.
So anyway a month later I was buzzing at a 1 setting and that looked OK but I thought, why not go sly, if I don't like it, it will grow back in a few days. So I got out the Headblade and watched some vids on youtube about what technique to use. So away I went, man I was shaking, thinking that it was only a matter of time before I cut myself. But luckily it all went really well. I am only shaving with the grain at this point, as I want my head to get used to the blade before going against the grain. About 3 weeks in now I am getting used to it. Haven't had any negative comments at all. Just need to get a tan on it now!.
Anyway, just wanted to join up and give a MASSIVE thank you to everyone here, without reading other peoples experiences I wouldn't have gone through with the sly look.
Cheers
ps. Hope the pic works. -
