Hi Guys!
« on: March 03, 2009, 03:32:46 PM »
I'm new to the site, and wanted to introduce myself. I'm 46 years old, and I too have MPB. I have been buzzing my hair for years ( usually a #2), but last week I went to a #1. Other than the pale skin, I really like it. I want to go fully sly, but I have not quite got the nerve yet. Anyway, this is a great site and you guys seem to be pretty cool. Looking forward to visiting more often.

Hey fencer! Welcome to SBGs.  Your have taken a big step going to the #1 buzz.  We are here to support you and help you in any way we can.  Of course, most of us would not be disappointed if you jumped the fence and found yourself  in the land of the bald. ;D

Welcome, Fencer ~  If you've got the urge, you've got to splurge.....
....and scrape the dome!  There's no feeling like smooth and SLY!  You're almost there with a short buzz, but believe me, there IS a difference!

sounds like you're barely hanging on to that fence... stick around here a little while, and you'll let go.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

Welcome fencer

If i was you I would do it. Just remember that if you don't like it it will grow back to your buzz cut in not that much time. Read up in the shaving tips and techniques forum an give it a shot. When you do post up a pic.

Thanks, guys for the warm welcome! Unfortunately, I have a bit of a situation. My wife (who is very supportive and likes the close buzz) pointed out to me last night my birthmark is in my hairline. It is a bit "raised", and there is a possibility it might get cut, or just simply look weird. I am totally fine with the buzz, if that is "as far as I can go." As I mentioned, the wife likes the buzz; she's says it is ME!
Thanks for listening!

Welcome to SBG's fencer, good to have you join us.

I will echo the other bro's and suggest you give the shave a try, at least once.
If you don't like it and find it hard to keep from cutting the birthmark, then it will be just a few days to grow it back out to a #1 buzz.

I think you will end up liking it though, and then you can decide how to handle dealing with the trouble spot.

Good luck, and keep us posted.        O0
