Title: One more Newby
Post by: Ramathorn on August 25, 2016, 09:47:06 PM
Hello Sly Bald Guys and Gals. I have had short hair for 20+ years, always thought it would disguise my thinning hair. Short hair worked well with my job and I thought I'd always keep it that way. A few months ago, I saw that my hairstyle was the "wrap around" style. That's all that it took. I did a search for a website that could offer help shaving my head. I found this one and did my research here before taking the plunge. As I sifted through posts, I realized that everyone has a different method or product that works for them. Early July I just took the plunge and haven't looked back. Easily the best hairstyle that I have ever had. I thought I'd formally join and keep learning.
I want to thank each and every one of you for writing about your experiences, I felt comfortable shaving my head and vow to never go back to the wrap around.

Welcome to the board, Ramathorn!

I am very glad you are happy with the result. What method or process have you found that works best for you?

I have never been able to use a razor on my face, it always got too irritated so Ive used an foil shaver for 25 years. Having said that I knew that I wouldnt get the close shave on my scalp. I've settled on a Fusion razor with a gel shave cream followed by an aftershave cream or if I'm outside a sun lotion with a spf30.
 I have been trying to shave daily, buy have let it go two or three days a couple of times. I really like a close shave and have been training my scalp by shaving WTG but am looking forward to shaving ATG for that BBS look and feel.

You are probably wondering why you waited so long to shave.  Welcome.
