Decided grey and balding wasn't working for me.
« on: January 01, 2013, 10:26:29 AM »
  Hi all, I decided to bite the bullet three days ago and go sly. I started losing my hair in my late twenties and although I still had enough coverage the grey was taking over. Rather than fight it I decided to go with the current and go sly. First thing I have discovered is you never leave the house without a hat here in Iowa in December/January. Thanks for all the advice that is listed here on this forum. I use Shave Secret, Gilette Foamy Sensitive, then Shick Extreme3. Afterwards I use Mary Kay Satin Hands and Body lotion. So far not a single hint of a breakout. I always break out on my neck after shaving my face but found the Shave Secret works great there as well. Thanks again!

Welcome. I see your beaming smile.  Sly looks good on you.

Where in iowa? Pm if you don't want to post publicly. I have a bald buddy in Sanborn, IA. He was a big encouragement for me to go BBC.

Welcome.

Eradicating the gray was my motivation as well. Wouldn't go back for anything.

First thing I have discovered is you never leave the house without a hat here in Iowa in December/January.

Streuth, I realise that it's winter in the northern hemisphere but I had no idea how cold it was in Ames, Iowa. It says it is currently minus 12ºC and is not going to go above 0ºC right up to and including Friday which is definitely woolly hat weather. That officially qualifies as "bloody cold". I'm going to assume that you are lucky enough to get snow -- must be good for cross-county skiing if you so desire.

In fact, I'm going to give you an extra 10 points for going slick in weather that cold. It might even be a record for this forum?

Like everyone else says, looks good, natural -- been that way for years. A lot of hairy blokes will be jealous and you will get them thinking.

Welcome, my friend.
