Bald or not bald

[silverheart]

Thanks Guys for the nice words en support!
The thing is I have made an appointement with my hairdresser next Monday she told me she could only trim my hair 1mm
but she wont shave me so I have to do it myself. The thing is I am truly willing to do this sly thing, but you guys have probaly a far
better skin condition then me. Each time I shave my face I sence a burn skin, I try all the tricks products slow shaving in the right
direction. But I am so very senstive that it worries how my head will react if I have to shave it each 3 days or so. Imagine I go
to work and the day before my head breaks out then I feel even more insecure pfff. I am accepting the part that i loss my hair
(finaly) and now I have a new worrie...my skin breaks out easily because of sensitive skin (Eczema Seb.). Anyways I am not
without a job so I told myself I just do it and hope for the best (although I worry when I have another job interview..) Anyways
I am glad to found you guys on this site and I agree with your opinions: "better to be bald then balding" nothing is more sad
then hiding and camouflage or in other words: "accept what you can not change!  and if you can not accept it and there is a way
to change it just do it!". Eventhough I am 42 years old I know that people judge people because the way they look. In job
interviews they not only look at experience and skills or degrees or personality but a great deal they select by the way you look
and I hate that! but I guess some things will never change. I wish you al a very good weekend and maybe next Monday I can
consider myself a true sly member.

there are plenty of posts about razor burn and what to use...I get bad burn on my neck...and have tried everything lol...I switched to a safety razor and use moisturiser on wet skin straight out t of the shower....real shaving cream...not crap in a can and a brush....shaving with the grain, across the grain and finally against the grain, letting the weight of the razor do the work...a good safety razor is solid stainless....razor burn is around 80% less...now that I am used to it on my face, I also shave the noggin with it....cold rinse after...alum block, uce cube rubbed over and finish with chilled witch hazel splashed like aftershave. ..working great

Hi Guys,

Guess what today I finally made the decission and went to the salon and they shaved my head with a clipper 0,5 mm.
To be honest my head looked perfected (shape whise and i did not even head a big forehead). The main issue is that
the salon could not shave my head sly so I have to do it myself. I already sence a burn and I break out on the back of my head
(red marks en whit marks) and the small hairs feels very hard and irritated. I informed some people and told me to use a preshave oil
and headslick menthol and after shaving a matt headblade aftershave balsem without parfum or alchol since I am very sensitive and
have Eczema. The thing is I am kind of scared to shave it myself and I dont trust headblad and I hesistate to go for fusion gillete blade
instead anybody can give me advice which blade to us for super sensitive skin? Thanks in advance.

I already did......

you nervous about the razor part or cutting yourself silver?

@ Geeman: Thanks but a safety blade is not for me since I have learned that a fusion  or mach is better (I have been told and read many reviews). Has anybody got a youtube movie how to shave your head the right way for sensitive skin like me (not against the grain etc.)? Thanks in advance and greetings from Holland!

Fusion is better bud and trust me I have a method that you can shave ATG and get no irritation or bumps!

Cut myself for the first time today! Just a nick.

Guys I did it I shave it all sly without any allergic reaction. But I found out i have about 2 veins on the left and the right on the top of my forehead what the heck?
Anybody knows if this could be temporarily or stuff I want to have my top of the forehead sly and no veins. It looks like a soft spot on the left and the right of my top of my forehead with some white veins crossed over damnnn if i did not had this I looked very good sly...I Always seem to have bad luck...

[Derris The Barber]

Good job man! You have a pic?

Hi Forum bros,

Sorry for the delay but I truly had some bad luck these days. I shaved my head sly and it looked very well and for a moment I truly
felt free. I drove my car with the windows open and let the wind blow in my face without any worries about messing up my thinning hair.
Although this is a small example all my life I felt insecure about my thinning hair so shaving my head feels truly like freedom.
But yesterday I saw with mirror on top of my head that I have a lot of tiny scars on my head probaly from scraching my ecezema
all those years. The ecezema trully damage all my skin on top of my head and back of my head. Tommorrow I will go to the hospital
I trully hope these scars will go away since I want to keep my head truly sly
without any scars or veins. Damn I feel truly sad seems like always when i feel happy another negative situation occurre.
Anyways I wish to thank you all for helping me out with your words since you gave me that extra push to finally do it and shave
all my hair.
