New Baldie: Glad to be here.
« on: July 03, 2008, 12:03:51 AM »
Hey there, guys. The name's James, but you can call me Digory...it's my middle name. I've been toying with a beard the last few years; on again off again. Well, my noggin has been fading in the hair department right at the top of my head. It's not too bad, but I'm not a big fan of comb overs and trying to hide things about myself in general. So, I went ahead and started cutting my hair short. I liked it short, so I tried bald. I nicked myself several times, and it took forever. Then my scalp was really tender...it just wasn't fun. AND to top it all off, I didn't even get that baby-smooth shave! So instead I had a 5 O'clock shadow over my whole head. Not fun.

Well, I found this site by chance and was reading some awesome posts about products and methods for shaving the ol' noggin. I went and got a Headblade and some St. Ives exfoliating wash stuff. I only had ten minutes before I had to be out of the house...so I had to rush. But I shaved my head down and awesomely smooth. No nicks, VERY minimal bumps, and no scalp irritation! I tell you what...it's damn sexy. And people wanna touch it. haha!

I didn't write this up to promote any product...I just wanted to give some background about me and let you bald guys know that you helped me out a lot, and I am honored to be a new member here at the site. I'll get a pic to ya soon...but for now: Take it easy...never sleazy.

Ready for some before and after? I would have gone bald sooner, but I am a bass player and was in a band with two guys who went bald. We played hard rock...it was bad enough with 2 baldies, but 3 baldies would have surely made us look like we were something we weren't. Hahaha. The band is over, so bald it is.

I didn't write this up to promote any product.

Me thinks this poster smells like rotten fish.
He said he didn't write his post to promote a product?  :o

How can a first-timer get such a letter perfect headshave with just one use of the  headblade?? Had a 5 O'clock shadow with other razors, and then miracles upon miracles upon using the headblade after only one try his head is as he puts it is "awesomely smooth".  :Xo!

Welcome  J Digory.
