Day 1
« on: April 10, 2011, 12:16:59 AM »
So today my local college hockey teal won the national title and my wife gave birth to our second child, so what better way to celebrate. I went sly.
I have been tossing this around for a while. Tonight I was using a mirror to "imagine" myself bald. I noticed that the crown of my head was just stupid thin and so was the top. That solidified the decision.
I used a few different products to see what I liked. Here is what I found:
-Gillette Fusion Proglide-Nice razor, I use one on my face, so there was no learning curve.
-Headblade Sport-I do like the idea of this. I caught on using it on my dominate side, but after doing the left I had to touch up with the Gillette
-Gillette Fusion Hydragel-Much better than cheap gels. I liked it alot until I tried......
-Headblade Headslick-This gave me a closer shave and rinsed great.
-I also have a product by Baldguyz. I will try that next time.

Here are some pics. I hope links to photobucket are acceptable. I didn't have much hair to start with, so there is not a drastic change, but I like it so far.

Congratulations to you and your wife with your second child!! :D

Well done on going sly. It may not seem like a big difference between the before / after pics - but it's a whole new world that has opened up. Enjoy it.

I use my HB mostly with my right hand (for both sides). Switch to the left hand for the tricky around-the-ear bits plus a mole to negotiate. I also like the Gillette Fusion Hydra products - but Headslick is magic.

Nothing to be brave about - it's your head, you like how it looks/feels(wife seems to not be objecting) and that's all that matters.  Enjoy the new look and freedom.

Congrats on going Sly!  No more $16 + tip haircuts for you and the wife isn't pissed.  What's not to love about being Sly?  Great job!  O0

I have now cut my hair three times. That means I have saved $48 in the last three days right? I even figured out the little ticker thing to help me keeptrack of my days.
