Thanks from a newbie
« on: July 02, 2012, 01:08:00 PM »
Well, yesterday I finally did it - shaved my head bald after thinking about it seriously for probably 3 or so years. Started with clippers and help from my wife.  Then, proraso and a Gillette sensor excel I've been storing for a number of years, followed by a little aftershave and lotion. I'm amazed that it wasn't that hard, and I survived without any nicks or bumps. Went to Costco today and stocked up on a number of mach 3s for the foreseeable future, or until I get the confidence to try it with my DE razor, that I use in my face.

Thanks to the host and all the contributors on this message board - I'm not sure my first time would have been such a success without all the tips and info on this board. I'll follow up with a pic once I get some sun on my noggin.

Edit: added a poor iPad pic as my avatar... But it's a start.

Hey, great move. (shave).  You don't have to wait for the dome sun tan to post a pix.  We expect to see a cue ball effect on a new shave.  LOL.

30 day rule, now.

Well done and welcome Bucksfan.

Before you stock up on any Match 3 blades, consider the Headblade.  It is highly recommended by many users here.

Looking Great !  Just try keeping other ladies from rubbing that sly melon !  Or better yet, start charging $5.00 for a two-hand rub and make some razor blade money  :D
