wOw....how times flies!

[Bald Weasel]

21 days since the end of my 30 Day Challenge!
How in the world did that happen??
I've settled into a every other day shaving and the scallop seems pretty happy.
Just as you guys said, I took time to let it get used to the new NON-do.
Gotten used to the routine and can basically shave it all with only one or two reruns over a couple places.
I gave the HeadBlade a honest go, but finally tried (and have stayed with) the Schick Hydro 5.
Sam's Club had a deal for 2 razors and 12 blades for $24. Maybe I'll give the HB another shot when I run out of Hydro blades.
To the Gents on the "Bump Patrol" post (whose ever it was) that answered all my Q's THANK YOU!!
That stuff is absolutely magical.
I rub some on after every shave and the back of my neck is barely even red at the end of the shave now.
Also, Bump Patrol is $10.99 around here for the regular strength. I looked on AMAZON and found it for $4.99 for the extra strength!!
$5something for Del, but still I got 3 bottles with shipping for $20 and change. Essentially, buy 2 get one free.
Just passing that along in case it will help anyone who is a fellow user.
Only other thing I got is it sure seems to be taking awhile to get to the same tone as my face.
Although, I may just be being overly careful. The post by the other forum member about getting a bad enough burn it got blistered and possibly sun poisoning, if remembering correctly, stuck in my mind.
"I'll stay a lil pale for a lil while longer." I recall thinking.
That's that. Still very happy with my unflaky head and can't see backsliding to the furry side. LoL!
Once again, THANK YOU to all the members that made my Sly journey's beginning SOOOOOoooooooo much smoother (pun very much intended! ).
Now....time to get to the Sly Store and get me a Sly Guys T-shirt. I now feel worthy of wearing one and not feeling like a wannabee!
OH! and a knit cap for Florida's 6 days of winter.

Congratulations Keith on your Sly Graduation.

Sounds like you did everything right, which will be good reinforcement for new guys reading this in the future.

Carry the Sly Torch proudly.

Good for you! It suits you!

[Beardman]

The colour will come, glad to hear you are still enjoying the look!

Congrats!

It shouldn't be too much longer before your scalp gets some color. I'm just shy of 3 months of slyness and the tone on my dome almost matches my face.

congratulations. keep it up

[Bald Weasel]

Thank you Gents, one and all.
I don't see me going back.
As goofy as it sounds, I think of the time I am shaving as "thought time". I find myself going through
things to do for the day, what I want to get finished and What I did/what I could have done better.
Who wouldn't want more time to ponder this?? It is a centering moment if I shave before a workout and a
reflecting time if done at the end of the day. I have a good bit of family issues going on now (hence the
loss of time since I started being Sly) and this is a few minutes during the day that I feel I can concentrate
on myself and my thoughts.
Sorry. Goofy but true.

Nice done, congratulation!

No need to be sorry

It is a good time to just relax and have a think!

[Slyfive]

Congrats, I knew you'd stick with it from the start, it's a great look for you. And you're so right, the thought time is awesome.

[Sir Harry]

Congratulations, Keith...like you said, the shaving time is YOUR time....and no one can take that away.

[Bald Kahuna]

Hello Keith,
So glad to hear you have stuck to the SLY routine and again, I always say on the forum...you are looking good as like a SLY guy should!

[kalbo]

Kudos on the milestone Keith.

I like this.

I too, really enjoy the time shaving my head each morning, looking for that super smooth feel.  Bald suits you well. Sounds like you too feel it is a keeper.
