Introduction!
« on: January 01, 2008, 06:13:43 PM »
I originally posted this in the wrong subforum, so here it is in its rightful place  :XX


Hey all, I'm new to slybaldguys however I've been shaving my head for about two months now..  About me; I'm 21, enjoy weight training, martial arts, four wheeling, target shooting, and trying to get into dual sport motorcycling!

So heres where I ask for your oppinion:
before:



after:



What do you guys think?  It tends to keep annoying people out of my way some..  ::)

My head does have some lumpage but its nothing I can't live with..  My family says I look like the kind of person to break someone else's arm if they look at me wrong...Its flattering but totally untrue  :*))

BTW, I'm sure its been mentioned before here by others, but strippers do indeed LOVE bald heads  >:D

methodology:



Its a 1947 (3rd quarter) Gillette Superspeed my grandpa left behind when he passed away..  Nice huh?   :)

I use the Braun Freecontrol to touch up during the day.. For a little extra shine I put a thin coat of tattoo goo on my scalp, its GREAT stuff!



It doesnt clog pores and smells good enough to eat!  Its kind of thin and isn't at all greasy (think chapstick but thinner).  Time will tell how it affects my scalp though..  But so far so good.

Looking forward to spending time here!

Hey I always think a bald head gives such a cooler,edgier vibe...

I say stick with it...looks like you have the 'bald bug", so shaving it smooth is the way to go bro..

hair would probably drive you nuts anyways!

Keep it smooth bro! O0

Looks good to me.  I would lose the glasses, though, and get some with thinner frames.  The thick plastic frames distract attention from your dome, IMO.

Awww, Razor, THAT'S a "look"...sometimes nerdier and bigger the better..it's intentional....

Remember that's what's great having the younger bald bros around...

a WAY different vibe and perspective! O0

I still say lose them ...  but my perspective is probably skewed from having had to wear glasses not much different than that from the age of 4 on.  Back in those days there wasn't much to choose from style-wise; specs were meant to be functional only.

No disrespect intended to anyone.  I just think the bald dome should be the centerpiece of any sly guy's look, with as few "accessories" as possible to distract from it.   JMO.   ;)

I think I have to agree with you, Razor.  For myself, I could never pull that look off.  I have saw some guys that do and do it very well.  Just think it's not for me.

GATMOG, that's a great intro!  I'd say you can go either way with the hair, but either way, I think the glasses are very much you.
