New Guy!
« on: July 15, 2012, 02:20:19 PM »
Hey guys, i'm Jeff and new to the site.

I have been no guarding my noggin for quite a while but have decided to take the plunge and take it all the way off this Wednesday or Thursday when my Headblade kit gets here.

I have been a lurking in the shadows but finally decided to join up.

Glad to be here!

Thanks!

I'm sure I will have quite a few questions as I have never used a razor, only an electric shaver and clippers for my head.

Don't want to decapitate myself.

Welcome. You may want to use the electric to get it as short as possible then save it on down with a razor.

Welcome Jeff. You'll like the HeadBlade and the feel of the smooth scalp. Looking forward to your participation.

Make the commitment to 30-days of Sly which will get you "into the routine" and others used to the "new you."

Looks like you are bald by choice.

You'll like it.

Take it easy with the headblade at first. Light touch at first till you get used to it.

Welcome mate! When you finally do teh deed I cannot stress enough to not put any pressure on the blade at all, and to take it really slow. Also keep to straight strokes at first, if you start doing crazy turns and pressing to hard is when you are going to start doing some damage! I have personally had no problem with the Headblade, but I have heard many stories of people going potato peeler on their scalps!

Welcome Jeff. Congratulations for joining and deciding to go sly soon.

Some basics to follow :

Cut your hair as short as possible with your electric clipper.  Wash your hair.  Apply your shaving cream of choice.  Use a brand new razor, it does not have to be the Headblade yet.  Take your time, go slowly.  Use your weaker hand to feel for any missing bits as you shave.  If you pick up a few nicks the first time, don't fret, this is quite normal for the virgin noggin.

When you get the Headblade, keep the wheels on the head, but as already stated, use no pressure as this may slice you and put you off the Headblade for life.  The Headblade is an awesome item but it may take a little practice.  Watch the clip on the HB website, I found it very useful.
