Another new guy joins
« on: July 28, 2008, 09:42:30 PM »
Well - found this site by accident aqnd glad I did. I was looking for some products for my newly shaved head. Liked what I read aqnd decided to join.

A little about me - I have thought of shaving bald a long time and slowly worked my way down from long-ish hair (Never really grew long but tended to bush out) to a 3 clip to a 2 clip to cutting it myself and buzzing it down as low as I could.

Then wife went on vacation (Took grandchild to beach and I was going to join a few days later since I could not get away from work. Figured I would try it and if I didn't like it I could grow it back before seeing her.

Well - needless to say - I was hooked. Shaved it down best I could with my old remington. Nowhere near as close as I wanted bu fine for a test. Didn't want to use a razor since I have some moles in the back and was afraid of cutting them.

So I like it as it was but wanted it closer - bought another electric but wasn't satisfied. Tried a third but still no go (although it is good for a touch up in the back where I am still hesitent with the blade. But I am getting better with the blade after 2 weeks of daily shaving,and only nick it int eh back 1 in 3 shaves.

Tried using an oil last night and am going to buy either baby oil or secret shaver. Also considering getting a head blade. Cut is getting closer, compliments coming more often.

Anyway more later - but thanks in advance. From what I see there is lots of support and friendship on this board. For example I thought there was something strange that I found shaving my head addictive. From what I have read that is not uncommon. Also I see that  a lot of questions I have and ideas I thought about have been checked out, tried and succeed or failed already (such as the thought of using a product like NAIR - thanks for saving me from making that mistake!).

Just because it never gets old.... Welcome to the group!!  Ask anything you need or want to know about the sly style, and these guys will tell you what you need to know.. I'll even try to throw in some knowledge now and then.. This is a great bunch of people, they make everyone feel welcome, and they make the science of getting that baby smooth dome fun and simple.. Check out the other topics in the forum, I think you'll find the spectrum of conversations surprising and exremely interesting..
