my fellow sbg's,
I just took the plunge and love it.
As a previous lurker on this site I can directly credit the supportive environment of these here forums for pushing me into the sly style. This is a unique community and I'm glad to be a part of it.
I shaved the dome for two reasons:
1. the hair line has been in slow retreat for several years. While I'm not totally bald I am fighting a losing battle. The sides are in full on retreat while the middle is holding on but the end is nigh. IN THIS BATTLE THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER! so i scorched the earth.
2. I like many on this forum suffer from the scourge of seborrheic dermatitis. Seeing some of the claims made on here about a total relief of symptoms motivated me to try it for myself.
That said, I love the look and the itching is better. I do have some red patches from the dermatitis and I was wondering if anybody could tell me if these will go away and about how long it took for theirs to disappear.
Also, how long does it take for your skin to toughen up. I shaved yesterday and today using headslick and a headblade and it was less than pleasant. If these questions have been addressed elsewhere, my apologies.
Thanks
Welcome Faux, enjoy the forum life!
1)Great tactics.
2)sebo derma is quite common when you're loosing hair. Altough I'm bald by choice and never experienced it, I have great production of sebo.
Regarding the way to avoid irritation,well.
The guys are wise and already suggested you what to do.
Neverthless, I use an electric razor, Philips Headgroom, which has been told to be more gentle on the skin.
Plus I don't shave any day.
But I'm BBC plus alternating slyness and regrowth quite frequently... thus it is quite a different story, here.
Can't wait to see you and your dome!
