• I shave at the sink after a hot shower, but my first shave of 2014 was at the gym and the hot water was out.  So it was a sink shave after a cold shower. 
  Blade:  Gillette Fusion
  Soap: Headslick Shave Cream
  
  Fortunately the hot water was working by the time I got to the sink to shave, so at least I got a nice hot shave.

• Razor  : HeadBlade ATX
  Blade: HB6
  (Pre)Shaving Oil: Fanciful Fox "Dapper" shave oil (from a small store in Scranton)
  Shave Cream: HeadSlick
  Aftershave: Game Day AfterShave
  Moisturizer: Bulldog Natural Skincare moisturizer
  
  
  Normally don't use preshave oil, but the skin is a little irritated.

• Ming keeps his Imperial Exchequer amply topped up by being a skinflint in matters that fly under the radar in public.  First of the year?  As always.
  
  Sorry, guys, but "The Merciless" finds that bags of no-name (from Target) disposable razors and canned shaving cream (Barbasol) work just fine.  What does "fine" mean?  The dome is slick to the imperial palm run over it post-shave; there are no nicks; there is no redness or razor burn.  A single disposable razor lasts a couple of weeks.  What's not to like?
  
  But Ming does not prescribe, only describes.  Whatever works for you.
  
  With the savings from razor expenses, Ming soon plans to buy a Ferrari.

• Pre-shave: Shave Secret
  Soap: an olive oil bar soap sliced up to fit the mug
  Razor: Gillette Fusion
  After shave: Old Spice Original
  
  Were it not for the mug having been my father's, I probably still would be using a canned foam or gel.

• First headshave was Jan 5th.
  
  Took my clippers and mowed off a killer flattop(grown for 6 weeks).
  
  Jumped in the shower to clean and soften.
  
  Shave secrect, shave gel, mach 3 razor, AHHHH, smooth again!
  
  S/O moved out on Jan 4th, so no more issue with being sly.

• Reddog, you look fantastic with that shiny bald head!  If your SO objected to it, it was her loss!  Welcome back to slydom.
  
  Here's a new step for me.  I found self-pic (taken by someone else, not a "selfie") that is from one of my earlier sly periods.  I went thru an old post that showed me how to make it my avatar.  We'll see if it works!  I think that it gives you an idea of what I look like.

• Thanks Earl, I've got 2 gals that have showed interest already, and they both said they love the sly look. Hmmm, that never happened when I had hair!

• Hi EarlBald
  
  First time I've seen your pic and miust say you look good.  Notice you have been a member on and off since 2007 so presume you have been shaved most of that time.

• Thanks, Roger.  I've been sly off and on for many years, but I think I've finally settled into it.  I don't have too many self-pics, so this one is from an earlier sly period, about 1 1/2 years ago.  Still, you get the idea.  I think you look good bald, too!
