Been thinking of shaving for a year or so
« on: February 10, 2012, 05:17:00 AM »
Well at long last I shaved my head completely. I've been clippering it off and on for years and eventually got it down to nearly nothing and thought if I don't go for it now I never will. It's not the best time to do it as its the coldest winter since records began, but too late now. Luckily my scalp itsnt that different a colour. I am trying to get a bit of sun when I get the chance. So far I've taken the electric razor route, it's a bit rough in parts but ok. I'm hoping my skin will toughen up a bit before I get the Quattro on it. I'm amazed it feels so different, even compared to a 2mm clipper cut. My 9 year old son hates it, and my wife is dismissive ( if that's what you want then go ahead). It does make me feel like smiling more, even whilst I was doing my tax return! That can't be bad. I haven't ventured out much so only my future boss has seen it, he said he's doing his in July ( his 40th b'day). Anyway thanks for the great site. I'll be logging in regularly I think.

it won't take too long before it becomes routine and becomes you to others.  Enjoy the feeling.

I took exactly the same route to a shaved head.

BTW, I recommend the Headblade.

Pretty much the same route I took, and pretty much the same reaction from my son and wife. (My wife was a little more supportive, but still was not warm to the idea.)
But embrace the new look! Just think about all the future barber bills, shampoo, gels, etc. you won't be shelling out for anymore. Versus the cost of razor blades and slick or foam, the balance is in our favor monetarily.
And, really, sly is the best look on any guy :)
