Hello everyone...I'm 53 and I'm just getting to commit to going bald.  I had septic shock back in January and as a result of the chemo drugs I started to lose my hair.  I got it buzzed a week ago to kind of do it in stages where it won't be much of a shock to the wife and kids.  My wife still does not know about my real intent.    I ordered the HB Gold kit (Thanks for the 20% discount Sly) so once it comes in I'm ready to go.  My biggest concern is the "white head" look for the first couple of weeks but hopefully it will only be temporary.

I have enjoyed reading everyone's input and hopefully I can add something to the experience.

Welcome triumphcorvair.  Hope all is well now.

Thanks for welcoming me into the forum!
Yes, I own a 65 Corvair Monza and a 67 Triumph Spitfire.  I'm recovered from the Septic Shock and I thank God everyday for being able to survive it.

I'm looking forward to some fun time now.

Glad you joined us!  Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!!!

It's great to hear that you survived septic shock, from what I've read it's pretty nasty.  Glad to hear that the discount worked out for you!

Welcome to SBG's....glad you found us. Enjoy the HeadBlade, it takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it, shaving is smooth and pretty quick. Don't forget the sunscreen, the pale head can get  burned pretty quick. The color will come in eventually.
