Chicken

[Mikekoz13]

I'll bet she'll like it! You're almost there anyway and you will look great shaved if that is actually you in that avatar photo.

Women everywhere love SLY guys!!

Cam -- that's funny stuff.  I never thought about having evidence to convict her if she does kill me.  Now I'm safe.   

Mikekoz13 -- Thanks for saying I'd look great sly.  Only one real way to find out.  Yes, that's me in the pic.  (The one on the left.  The other guy is my 2 year old. ) 

You guys make a great point.  I already have a buzz.  What's another 1/8 of an inch? 

I have 7 and 5 year old daugthers.  Not sure how they'll react.  Probably rub my head all the time.  My 2 year old won't care at all.

I've read some posts about how to do the deed.  I'm gonna get some Head Slick and a Headblade.  I've seen 'em at CVS.  The 1/8" comes off this weekend.     Gulp. 

I'll try to post some pics . . .

Don't be too stuck on the HB, as numerous guys here can attest it can be a tricky tool.  Fusion is my tool, never a nick in 15+months   Tried the HB--didn't do it for me although some swear their Domes by it.  Enjoy it.  And in the event your wife does try to kill you, it will make a great movie script.  Not as unique as the Mr. & Mrs. Bobbitt story but still a story .

Too bad I won't be around to profit from the movie script! 

Thanks for the advice about the Headblade.  I'll try a few different things and probably develop my own preferences.  By my read of the posts, there's no universal agreement about what is best.  I just can't imagine shaving the back of my head with a straight razor.  We'll see . . .

I didn't say "straight razor" !  A razor like Mach III, or Fusion maybe.  Even safety double edge razors require a lot of dexterity.  Straight razor--keep one of those in the house and the movie will take on a really dark flavor.

Hey wannabe... listen to the Bro.s here.  Some really great and sound advice. My wife wasn't all that enthused (but man... she loves rubbin' the nog now!  My sons love to rub Dad's dome and pich his "Neck meat".  The ladies at the store will stare with... ummm....envy for your wife!  Go for it!  But go easy.  You may get bumby and rashy and cut up before you get the hang of things (but then, you may not!) If you are worried about the wife, I understand. Mine is trying to kill me off with cookies!!!  Maybe let her be a part of the experience.  She could do your neck and back of head???  Good luck and welcome.

A belated welcome. 

As for going sly I say 'Go for it !', as you've said it's only a tiny scraping of hair you'll loose. 

My only bit of advice would be to take things slow and steady the first few times you shave your head, you'll soon pick up speed but rushing is the easiest way  to get nicks and miss bits. 

[warhawk]

Good advice guys.  I'll kick the chicken and the hair to the curb.  Maybe this weekend. 

hey wannabe:  well... the weekend is nearing its completion,  did U shave your dome?

Yes, I shaved it.  Not sure what I think.  It still feels weird and I still feel weird.  The wife didn't want to kill me, but doesn't think she likes it for a permanent look. 

Here, I'll try to post a pic, or at least links to pics:

A really good look for you, aces.   Mind Tyler's advice, keep it for 30 days--my guess would be then you'll never go back. 

[adam_r_todd]

Thanks for the support, guys.  Not sure if I'm keeping it or not.
