Title: Bald by Choice new boy - Hello SBG
Post by: parky on July 14, 2009, 11:55:59 PM: Hi Guys,

New SBG member here.
Finally took the plunge two days ago and I'm already addicted!
Waiting for all my HeadBlade gear to arrive (live in the UK, so mail order only).
Will report my impressions once I get going with the stuff.

Not had any issues so far, no rash or bumps.

Just need to get a bit of skin color up there!

Glad to be a member.

Ian

Just had another shave this morning, seems I will have to be a once a day guy.
Don't think I can cope with leaving it two full days!

Is it just because we are bald by choice?

Post by: parky on July 16, 2009, 11:21:11 AM: Thanks for all the welcomes, plus I get to see some great shaved heads!
Some of you really do have the benefit of being bald, I can see how much better the head looks.
Hopefully over time the skin quality on my head will improve and get a more consistent look.
I'm off on a cruise round the Baltic in early August, so will have to keep up the daily shave on the ship, got to look my best.

I have added a photo showing my 1 days 'stubble' shadow.

Post by: parky on July 17, 2009, 12:27:00 AM: Here are a couple of 'before' Sly shots.
I might grow the Goatee back, only thing is that it is a bit grey and it makes shower shaving a bit more difficult.

Post by: parky on September 01, 2009, 03:25:56 AM: Now on day 50....

I really want to shave everyday, but I do get a touch of razor burn if I do, not visible, just physically there.
So looks like I might stay with every other day for the time being. Although I say that and then shave anyway.
It is something about the smooth feeling!

Post by: Paul on September 01, 2009, 04:19:32 AM: Are you using a really cold water rinse after shaving, parky? That and an application of aloe vera gel should eliminate the razor burn.

I do stand under the cold water in the shower (head only) once shaving is complete and let the skin really tighten up.
I think some of the problem is the coarse hair I have which means to get a really smooth shave I go over some areas quite a few times, maybe I need to lather a bit more. I also use Kheil's Razor Burn / Bump Stop product which does sting for quite a while. maybe I will drop that today and just try some Witch Hazel.
