Title: Hello from the Netherlands
Post by: Polarbear on January 21, 2010, 01:19:27 PM: Hi Sly Guys,

Thanks for this forum. I like it a lot. I have been reading this forum for quite a few weeks now, so I thought: why not register and participate a little.

There is a Dutch forum on this topic (hair loss) as well, but it is mainly focused on how to regrow your hair and not how to accept it or embrace it. I don't believe confidence will grow with fake hair on your head, so I think I am at the right place here :)

Anyway, I am going bald since I was 17. I have made the decision of a buzzcutt very soon after I heard the news. Still it took me a few years to be fully comfortable with it. Now I am 23 and really it's not that big of a deal for me anymore. I like it, it makes me stand out from the crowd. I use the Wahl Baldfader Clipper but today I have ordered a Headblade. I am very curious if it will work for me.

Welcome to the SBG Family, it is great to have you join our family. As for the HeadBlade please be sure to give it some time, it may take a few tries to get you technique down pact. But once you do I'm sure that you'll love it, just remember do not apply any pressure to the blade and do not rush!!

your mpb. Way to go, and go gently with the HeadBlade the first time you use it. O0
