Title: Not gonna be sly for a while...
Post by: Howie on March 01, 2010, 06:38:55 PM: I had a cyst removed from my head today. The doc said I could continue shaving my dome, but not to shave the stitches ??? Well, since I shave in the shower, without a mirror, I'm afraid I would accidentally shave right over them! Then my shower would resemble a murder scene!
So I'm hoping my hair doesn't grow too fast between now and March 11!

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on March 02, 2010, 07:25:05 AM: Options to consider, a no guard buzz, the mirror will keep you clear of the stitches. That's my plan when they freeze 7-10 precancerous lesions from my dome on 3/9--if he doesn't cancel this appointment like he did the first. My only issue is that I don't like hats, don't have that many, including beanies to begin w/, and I'll have to wear one to keep the "battle" scars hidden while they heal up >:(. Good luck.
Another option I'm thinking of after the swelling goes down is to blade shave carefully around them. They seem to be in areas with no hair anyway--and the no hair areas continue to grow :D.
You will make it. And, probably appreciate it even more.

Post by: Howie on March 02, 2010, 10:18:07 AM: Thanks for all the suggestions!
Budddha, I looked at Red's review of the Panasonic linear. That thing sounds amazing!! A little pricey for me, though.
Ta2guy, nice ink! I like the lion head.
Saintc, I have a ton of hats, which i almost never wear. Thanks for the advice. I'm sure the stubble will keep my beanies from sliding off my head!

I beg to differ. That's no excuse whatsoever to allow your hair to grow back after embarking on SLYness.

TOTALLY KIDDING....DO WHAT YA NEED TO DO, BRUTHA....I'D BE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRIT IN THE WORLD FOR DOGGIN' YOU ON THIS.....

Its going well, Saintc, thanks for asking! It was a little sore to the touch, but that seems to have subsided. Its now been three days since I shaved, the most I've ever skipped was one day since I started shaving three years ago! So yeah, the growth is kinda bothersome!
On a side note, today I had two people, one of whom started laughing upon seeing the bandage, ask me what I did to my head. When I told them I had a cyst removed, they quickly became apologetic. Apparently they assumed I bumped it or something ::)
