Welcome Propagandhi.  I had thought of trying it once when first seeing it mentioned on the forum but since have change my mind.  I think I like the act of actually shaving the noggin everyday. 

I agree with you, but the "no shadow" thing is quite appealing.  Plus it's virtually free ... the only catch is the whole pain/agony thing the first time or two.   >:D

Very true bro.  I would love to be shadow free.

I'm still doing my homework so that i don't end up kicking myself for it. But so far i'm convinced that this is actually doable. If i go ahead with the operation my best friend Jack(Daniels) will be helping me through it. You are right though, i had a friend who was a bodybuilder(hairy bastard too) and he used to wax his chest before the competitions like it's nothing. I tried it once, and almost called the ambulance in the middle of it. The follicles get used to being pulled out.

Yeah, Jack Daniels would be a good friend for you in this endeaver.

Seriously though, let us know how it goes.  I am very very curious to see your take on this after a few tries.  It seems like a good idea to me, but a bit scary at the same time.  :(

Blimey - I dunno why but I was slightly shocked by that! Particularly Al's Tweezing story.

I think I just assumed they'd be guys who already had mpb but wanted to get rid of the shadow at the sides!

Anyway, welcome Propagandhi.  I agree it would be great to get rid of the shadow - let us know how you get on if you do decide to go for it & be sure to post up some piccies.  O0

Hey everybody,

As you all remember i was thinking about tweezing out my hair. I went for it last week and it looks awsome. It did hurt alot though. I'm still waiting to see if i will get any side effects such as ingrown hairs or pimples. I did get some pimples on my head, not that many though. Not having to shave everyday, not getting any razor burn  permanent smooth look especially getting rid of the "MPB" shadow is an incredible feeling. My head now transformed to Bruce Willis' in Live Free or Die Hard. From what i heard there's a 2 month milestone before I'll know if I'm a good candiidate for scalp tweezing.Cheers.

I think I'm sticking with my headblade. As much as I hated shaving my face before being sly I now find I love my shave time. No shadow would be cool but....

Yeah bro, congrats... I'd be curious to see how it looks too although I'm not sure I could go through with tweezing myself.

Propagandhi, Interested to hear what tool that you used to do the deed?

I would love to have a permanent smooth look with no shadow.

Same here, Nomad. I look forward to my shave and don't really mind the shadow, it's gotten better now that my noggin has gotten some color.

Maybe one day I'll have the nads to do the deed...I would really dig a totally bald head! O0

I used  Remington sily and smooth epilator. It hurt a bit but i think it was worth the pain. Before tweezing i'd have to shave every day, now i can get away with tweezing and shaving just once a week. And after the initial tweeze the pain is managable. Either way if any of you ever get sick of the shadow enough to go through with this, the option is out there.

Propagandhi, you really took the "How to Clean Everything" to heart huh?

kidding of course.

Tweezing and waxing doesnt seem too bad, keep us posted on how it works out, I would be up for it possibly.

I must say ... very tempting!  O0
