New Dude

[buster]

hey everybody.

i'm a new member and a week within my newly shaved head.  it's taken that long for me accept the change and i am becoming more accustomed to  the drastic change. 

i still feel the simultaneous head chill and the head wet. don't know if that will change.

my scalp feels itchy too.  yeah i am playing with it, for the fun of it, but i end up scraping up dead skin on the dome, and i wonder if this is healthy.

i also don't totally understand "bumps" but i think i may have this condition.  i feel tiny tiny tiny bumps around my ears.  maybe i shaved to close or something.  i bought the yellow sport roller blade, still getting used to it.  i will give it a month though, as you guys suggest.

what is the history behind the phrase "sly".  i've never heard it before, googled it, but it came up blank.

thanks in advance for your responses.

pic for you...hopefully it loads up

Hey Buster Welcome bro.  Yeah like the other guys said...it will get easier.  The bumps on the head...they will go away, youre just not use to shaving that area yet....but it will get smooth and shinny.  Good to hear you bought the headblade sport.  Thats what  I use along with the Headslick shaving lotion.  Just post up anytime you have any questions at all....thats what we are here for.  See ya bro

WELL BUSTER, SOME TIMES ya get the "BUMPS" from not having shaved an area that close before, sometimes its from shaving "against the grain" everyones hair/beard grows a little different than the next guyz.  sometimes parts of your neck/behind ur ears may be a little sensitive to a new lotion/cream  alot of it will be trial n error  , sometimes that can become a lill expensive. OH YEA, welcome aboard , me being a newbie my self to the group i just joined about a week ago   been shaving awhile. i havent even found the right pic to down load, for the profile, yet.as far as the "sly" nominer , i couldnt tell ya,  ya might have to wait awhile to find out, HELL...  maybe its a "Smooth Lookin Youngster"   juz me bein a smart a..  Porky
