Count me in!
« on: February 18, 2008, 07:39:09 AM »
Hello everyone.  I came across this site last week, and it prompted me to dive right in and go for it.  I purchased the Headblade gear online and it came Saturday.  There was so much advice on this forum and I couldn't wait to get started. 
I've been buzzing my hair for about 5 years, going shorter and shorter.  Went to the barber on Saturday and had it buzzed with no guard.  Came home, got in the shower and went at it.  I was a worried I wouldn't do it right, scared about razor burn and bumps.  Took my time, went slow and had great success....ZERO bumps, burn or irritation.  I followed up with clearhead and aloe.   O0
I'm from Caledonia, MI (near Grand Rapids) and am appreciative for the push you guys gave me.  I'll post a pic if someone could let me know how.
Thanks again!
Dan

Way to go Dude! LOOKS AWESOME!  Glad you liked it ( and or like it )  and that you had a trouble free first time shaving it.  Just be careful though...dont get to excited and started rushing it.  Take your time and you will have a beautiful nice shave job everytime.  Have fun...see ya around the forum

Right on PianoMan!

You look good bro.  Just remember, when that HeadBlade starts getting a little dull, don't press down harder trying to get "one more shave"!  That's when I managed to scalp myself and it was a week till I could shave again!   :*))

Welcome.  Looking good, PianoMan !
I had the same fears about cuts; bumps; etc.  but if you use the right products (Gillette Fusion is what I swear by) you do fine.  I have rarely had a cut; never had bumps.

So are you a piano player?    Same here --  prefer classical ;  older beginner.

WOW what a welcome!!

John - I've been playing since I was around 5, and continued through college (Michigan State).  I joke that I could read music before I could read books.  Stick with it and keep practicing!
