Raslin's 30 days

[raslin]

Day one: Read the thirty day rule head and watched the did. Now going to prep with virgin olive oil and then lather with Nivea shaving cream. Shave with a Gillette fusion blade then one with 5 blades. Let's see what happens.

Welcome and good luck!

You should have an easy time of it since you've been shaving intermittently for a few months.

I can almost guarantee that 30 Days will transform you into a consistently Sly guy.

you will definitely love the bald look.  I have gone sly for permanent.

[raslin]

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Appreciate it.

Day 2: Had a little irritation from yesterday's shave. So just lathered up and shaved with tge grain, one pass only.

Came out nice and smooth.  So far so good.

Welcome! Enjoy the breeze in your.... um.... sly dome i had to shave with the grain for the first few weeks myself, almost two months in and i still go wtgon the back of my head and. Atg everywhere else

[raslin]

Thanks dude. That good to know. I am not the most patient person.

Day 3. So just went over once wtg. Still a little irritation at the back.

I don't know about the Nivea shave cream but the shave gel is good. I hardly ever go against the grain in the back due to possible irritation and razor burn.  Good luck with the shaving!

Hey Raslin!

Good on you!  It is kind of exciting, isnt' it?

Please post some photos for us.

So, day 4 was skipped- just to give the noggen a break.
Day 5, use a mach3 blade and OMW, what a big difference to the fusion blades. It felt so much gentler on my skin.

Much smother shave. Did 3 passes. Two with and one against.  Here are some pics.

Looks like you got a fantastic shave.  Enjoy!

[AJ Q-Ball]

Looks great! I use the Mach 3 too and have used it for most of my shaving life. It's a razor I find you can't go wrong with. Fusion has too many blades for me and the cartridges are too expensive. Not that Mach 3 cartridges are cheap but I get more bang for my buck with them.

[raslin]

Thanks @AJ I have to agree the Fusion does have advantages, but for the cost the Mach3 is much more value and does give a better shave on my head at least.

There are a lot of great looking bald heads here, and yours is one of them! What kind of reactions have you been getting? I hope you are enjoying the sly life.

[raslin]

Thanks @reddog, . The wife like it alot, keeps telling me that other women are looking. I just smile and say really, I haven't noticed.
