I DID IT

Yep, hear you there. I shaved for the third time yesterday, and because I was in a rush got knicked a few times.
Professor Melon:
;D ;Happy New Year, Stevie, congrats, and welcome. You did it with dash and style--as well as the support of your family. The SBGs played a significant part in my own decision to shave it all off on November 4th. Have been getting happier with that decision ever since. In time, the pre-bald image will seem as alien as the bald one did in the first couple of weeks. The guys can identify with any doubts you may have and provide shaving and product insights. All best in 2007. Professor Melon
PBurke:

Boy, is that the truth. I saw a guy with a thick mop of hair on TV the other day, and was thinking that it had been a long time since I had that much hair on my head -- probably about six or seven years (3 years of shaving preceded by 3 or 4 years of short buzzes). And it occurred to me that I really can't remember what it felt like to have all that hair, and if I suddenly had it all back, I think it would be very difficult to get used to.
Welcome to the group and congratulations on your wise decision to shave.

I _RARELY_ nick myself when I shave my face. Is it different with the noggin? I can imagine that the angles are different...as well as the technique.
But is there something unique--and perhaps unavoidable--about the relationship between blade and scalp whereby you have to be more cautious and wary?
thanks, dude mans

I've only shaved once, will be shaving again tonight. I didn't find it difficult at all, doing the top of my head (against the grain) was just slightly nerve wrecking. The sides which seems most dread, I found extremely easy. I can only guess it depends on skin [type] and precisely which way the hair goes (which creates the "tug"/resistance which is the nerve wrecking part of it all in my opinion). The back I found very easy as well, not as easy as the sides because, well, its the back and cannot see what I'm doing. The left side of my head wasn't as fun, only because I'm right handed and use only my right hand to shave, I wouldn't trust my left hand to save my life.
Angle and pressure, just as shaving the face I would imagine. I'm no seasoned pro of course, just my opinion on a single shave thusfar.
I cant wait for my HeadLube, HeadShed and ClearHead to arrive. I dont think I'll need the ClearHead, but, I do have two small bumps on the back of my head and I do not know if they were there before I shaved or not. <shrug>
