Having a go at the 30 day rule myself.
« on: January 10, 2015, 12:51:03 PM »
It's about time I took the plunge myself, as I don't shave my head enough, so I am going for the 30 day rule.

This was today, it's not perfect but I love it.

Thanks guys, I'm glad to be back, think I need to buy some better razors though, a bit of a shock for a guy with a beard.

My hair is so thin I need to do it. Would rather have no hair than what I currently have.  I've encouraged others to do it on here, so now it's my turn.

Went to a show last night. The owner of the place looked like you, Mike_.

Except he wore a baseball cap to cover the shaved bald head.  Huge beard and mustache.

Told him about SBG. He kept coming back and confirming the URL. I'm going back tonight and will take him a card. I was all out last night. :(

He has a local Beard and Mustache club!

Nice job, Mike...you know, the beard is even more accentuated with you shaved, IMO.

Thanks Sir Harry.

I've been looking at better razors to shave my head with today, and had some positive comments from people today too :D

Day 3 (2nd shave) getting better at the top, but not having much luck with the back. I think I need to invest in a better razor.

Definitely improving my technique, finding it easier to do the back (I probably need to do further down my neck though).

Not bad, Mike! As far as the nape hair, you could just probably pass over those with clippers if you don't want to risk bumps.

10 days down, and still going (although I didn't shave it for 4 days).

Mike, you are doing great buddy!

What razor are you using?

I hate going more than 2 days without shaving! I use a Mach 3 these days and love it!! Got my routine down to a T.

You do need to shave lower down on your neck. I usually take 3 passes with some tidying up too. Love the smooth feel even though i cannot get 100% smooth all over!!!

Nice one my friend!

I am using a stores own brand, but I am considering getting a better one, did consider a headblade.

Any suggestions or advice welcome!
