I've been a visctim of male pattern baldness since early in college. My original solution was to keep it short, but over the years I've grown tired of the $20+ "trims". So, I started to tell myself that when the weather got warmer, I'd take it all off. That was last year :(
Well... At 3 am Monday morning (after a large dose of liquid courage) I finally did it. Man, what a relief! I did leave a beard that I've been growing for an impending camping trip. Next week I'll see what I look like completely hairless O0

First let me welcome you to the forum, and the pic looks great O0 very SLY! Glad you joined us, and by the way the beard looks good too.

Thanks, OCH. I work at a bank, so I wear a suit every day. I kind of feel like a hitman when I'm roaming around with my shades on!

Welcome to Sly Bald Guys! I gotta say, you should keep the beard. I love the way beards look with a bald head, but unfortunately for me work won't allow me to have a full beard. The bald look works DAMN good for you, keep it up!

Welcome to the group, Shorn! Liquid courage guided you right. It looks sly. O0

Thanks guys!
I already owned a pair of fade shears, so I just took to it till it was all gone! The shears get incredibly close, so all I needed after that was a little shaving lotion and a Mach 3 to get the job done.
Yesterday I purchased a Headblade Sport. It made for a much better shave than the Mach 3... in my humble, newbie opinion. The next step is figuring out the best way to shave (i.e. - oil, cream, aftershave, lotion, etc...). Your personal routines would be greatly appreciated, along with product references. I have oily, and sometimes sensitive skin, so keep that in mind.
Thanks in advance!

Your not on your own with the Headblade sport. It seems to be the preferred blade for many head shavers, newbies and veterans. I use the headslick and like it a lot. I like letting it sit for a few minutes before I start shaving it. Check this thread (http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=923.0) out.
