First Shave
« on: May 20, 2009, 06:05:44 PM »
Got the hair trimmed off today and did the first shave with my old electric.  Definitely going to have to  get a better electric or go blade.  The old Norelco left a fine bit of stubble.

Way to go Waypoint! Welcome to SBG's.

The best shave you can get is from a blade, an electric will never get you that close.

I see from your avatar your head is pale, so make sure you use sunscreen to allow for a gradual tanning of the scalp. Got to protect the dome.

Enjoy the forum and read up for any tips you need.    O0

Waypoint....welcome!

A ton of good info can be found about keeping that dome nice & smooth. There's very few of us that use an electric (although the few that do love the results). Personally, I'm a Headblade user (as are a ton of others).

Feel free to post up any questions. We're a pretty helpful bunch!

May sound crazy, but pulling the shirt over my head was the first complication.  The stubble grabbed it like Velcro ;D!

This dome has got to be smooth....

Congrats! Are you planning on using a razor tomorrow? I hate the velcro feeling, you stick to the pillows and blankets at night and the shirts are annoying.

I hate the velcro effect  :Xo! :Xo! :Xo!

Maybe velcro was invented by a bald guy with a wool jumper  ;D

Welcome aboard Waypoint!  Electrics just don't cut it.  I suggest getting a headblade, and some headslick.  It's   a little odd at first, so go slow and take your time.  Also, grab some aloe vera gel, or some Bald Guyz moisture gel to soothe any irritation.  Nice look by the way, keep it sly!

Welcome Waypoint.  Glad your here.  By all means, you must use a razor.  The stubble is a killer.  Sticks to everything.  Come often and visit with great (might I add, good looking) guys.
