Title: Disadvantage - Hazards to your head
Post by: dawgfan on January 13, 2010, 04:24:09 AM

I've been sly now for almost 8 months.  I love shaving and wouldn't think about letting what's left up top growing back.  For me, there haven't been many disadvantages to becoming sly.  Here's where I insert the "But".

Either I have been, or am becoming more clumsy.  Thus, leading to knocking my head against just about anything available. :Xo!  If there's something sharp near my dome, rest assured I'm going to hit it and it's going to cut my head.  I haven't had many (two or three) accidents with the blades from my HB, but I sure as hell have sliced up my head running into things.  I just don't recall having this problem when I had a little hair up there.  Anyone else run into this (no pun intended)?

When you had hair it was like a natural radar. Those things would hit your hair first and you would naturaly back off. Now your radar is gone so you have to be a little more aware of what's around your head. In time it will become second nature..... BUT I still whack mine pretty good now and then.

The Koz nailed this--it's something we all discover.  Rental cars are my main issue--not being used to the doors, I hit and scrape the dome getting in and out all the time.  I'm learning to be very careful :D.

Just finished examining a fresh red welt on the very top of my noggin.  Tinkering with cars is definitely dangerous for the dome.  ::)

Worst I've had was a wopper from the top edge of the frame of an under the staircase storage closet--that sucker hurt and didn't completely heal for more than a week.  Bummer.
Hmmm, maybe a beanie  while doing "dangerous" chores?

Nope, it's the upper kitchen cabinet doors.  Personally, I think they should all have rounded corners!

I always find it funny how a bald head is considered to be a symbol for toughness when in fact - as WE all know - the bare chrome dome is so vulnerable.

I'm with Mike... it takes a while to develop your "sly warning system"!  O:O

Been there, done that.  :)

I shave off my proximity alarm so it goes with the territory.
