Title: Had enough hair, going sly again
Post by: reddog on April 17, 2015, 07:24:58 PM: I stopped shaving my head February first, but Sunday morning I will join you guys in baldness again.

I ran into a guy that was working at a thrift store today that had a great looking shaved head. Of course I had to tell him nice haircut. He thanked me and we had a nice discussion about head shaving. He's been shaving for 6 months are likes it. I'm at that point where you are constantly thinking about shaving, so I'm looking forward to mowing off my long flattop!

Post by: reddog on April 18, 2015, 11:57:40 AM: Yes, I've been cutting my oldest brothers hair for about 6 months. Last week he asked me to buzz it real short so he could get some color on his head because he wants me to shave his head next time.

Title: Re: Had enough hair, going sly again
Post by: reddog on April 18, 2015, 12:26:05 PM: I was a little surprised, but I'm sure he must have liked how I looked bald. We look alot alike except he is getting pretty bald on top, so he should look good. I took him down to a#1 and told him if he doesn't like the headshave, it will grow back to #1 in about 10 days. I'll try to post a two bald brothers photo when done.

Post by: nuts on April 18, 2015, 04:46:04 PM: Good to see you are back to sly again Reddog and also your brother may decide that is the way to go.

I have lunch regularly with a group of old workmates - we are all retired for some years all in our 70s. Six of the seven including me have beards and five of the six have lost or are losing most of their hair. Despite occasional comments I have been totally unsuccessful in convincing any of them to go sly.

LOL.

Fond memories of lunch with you and Joe in Minneapolis last fall. Almost can't imagine you with hair. You rock the bald head, and the nice white beard.

Post by: reddog on April 18, 2015, 07:41:45 PM: Thanks for the kind words Dan. Yes meeting you was great. And the last thing I did last night after clippering and shaving my head bald was splashing on the Clubman after shave you gave me. I looked and smelled like I just stepped out of the barbershop!

Yeah, I don't know why I periodically try to grow hair back. After I shave it, I look in the mirror and say "darn the looks good". Couldn't wait to go out shopping this morning to show off my new haircut!

Post by: skinhead002 on December 20, 2015, 05:31:10 AM: I had a very, very bad work injury and had my right shoulder and muscle group rebuilt three years ago. Following surgery, I went three days without a shave. Even with the excruciating pain, the stubble drove me crazy. That first shower shave was great and I had to learn to shave(and brush teeth) with left hand. I did it though. The shaves were not as good as usual because I couldnt use a free hand to pull my scalp taunt. Three days growth was the most hair I had on my head in decades and I felt like a hippie! That first post-surgery shave was a GREAT feeling! I felt like a human being again.
