HERE'S THE NEW LOOK, Love the HeadBlade line!
« on: January 02, 2007, 09:41:28 PM »
Well, here I am. My first shave was on New Year's and I used the HeadBlade Classic razor, Headslick, and Headlube (matte finish). I did not nick my dome once, and it was a smooth process. The initial shock of the change in my appearance is beginning to wear off a bit. The reactions to my new look have been overwhelmingly positive. My brother commented on my "bold move" and thought it looked good. I figure I didn't need his affirmation, but if anyone would give me the straight dope, it'd be him.

On the way home, I stopped to buy some wine/beer and the cashier needed to see my ID (not to card me but for credit card verification). Anyway, she had to do a double take. I told her I just shaved it yesterday. We started chatting for a few minutes and said I look so much younger going SLY. Big smile on my face.

Anyway, glad I found this website and thanks for all your support.

Later Guys,
Schro

Lookin' really SLY Schro!!!

It's amazing how people react to a new headshave.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

That's awesome, Schro!

You really don't have that much of the pale shadow to deal with.

Looks great

 ;D ;D ;D Looks REALLY Great, Schro! You look much younger and your features work well with the bald-bold look. Keep on smiling. You'll find the look is well worth the maintenance. After shaving, for the first time in my life, I got interested in clothes; anything black, turtlenecks, leather, and shades all complement the dome. I celebrate your sly move. Professor Melon

Thanks for the kind words guys. My wife is not saying much and her attitude towards me (which is great to begin with) is unchanged, so that's a good thing. I think it's just a matter of time before she comes around. As far as clothes, I have a compliment of various things. I'm usually a hawaiian style shirt guy, which I think will work fine, but I do have all sorts of different looks to go with this new look. One things for sure, I'm not a big fan of the "velcro effect" (the catching of dome stubble on my shirts). I'm glad my shirt of choice is hawaiian shirts.

One nice thing that has happened since I cut the hair with the clippers (#1 setting) and now clean shaven....the painful sebhorric dermatitis has left the building, which is HUGE. Even if I don't keep the sly look (which I seriously doubt), I'll go no higher than the #1 setting.

Have a great Wednesday,
Schro

You like Hawaiian shirts... how do these look?  I used to wear them all the time... since went to shaving full time (and getting in shape) I usually only wear them at Buffett now...

Congrats Schro! It's great that your wife is supporting you unconditionally. It's even better to hear your dermatitis batlle is easier now. Glad to see your thumbs up on the HeadBlade line too.

Hey Schro, looking good. I agree with the fellas, you do look younger compared to your other pic.
