Post by: warhawk on May 28, 2010, 10:21:31 PM
hello fellow chrome domes:  just wondering...how did U discover the sly bald guys forum?  i'll start:  i discovered SBGs when i was doing some research on head shaving.  since (at the time) i was a rookie at head shaving, i seeked the internet for some head shaving knowledge.  it was the very 1st site that i visited & as they say:  the rest is history.  i have been an active member since june 5, 2007. O0

so... how 'bout U?  how did U discover SBGs?  were U like me via internet search?  a SBG member?  newspaper/magazine ad?  or other?  what's your story?  also... on a side note include the date U became a member of the sly fraternity. O0

I was searching for some info on replacement blades for the HeadBlade. I had been shaving my head for a month with it and had to get new ones, and the HB blades are available online only (and a little bit pricey) here in Germany.

Well, I found all the info I needed here, plus much more. I began to check in daily to read from other sly guys about their experience. Then I joined SBG on June 17, 2009. Glad I did!  8)

Yep!  Searching the internet for info on head shaving.

Became an active member in November of 2006....didn't actually shave my head until January 2007

I needed to figure out how to shave the melon, and SBG was in the list brought up by Google.  I lurked, but for some reason I didn't join up until at least a week after I'd done it.  The support really was key to holding my ground against the family complaints even though I had lots of compliments from the start at work, other friends and a few relations.

I found a link to the site on Wikipedia.  I'd already been shaving for a couple of years.  I lurked for a couple of weeks and eventually registered.

I was actually a member of another forum (Headshaver Central, I think:  ??? not nearly so cool as SBG 8)) and they were complaining that everyone was defecting to SBG because it was obviously better, so I gave it a try...

...It WAS better, by miles, so I stayed.   O0

Newspaper ran an article about shaving your head and they listed this as a web resource.

Member MikeM.
Too funny.

I think you can tell from the orders of magnitude difference in our post counts here who is blessed with the gift of gab and who is not. (I will confess to a certain degree of Chauncey Gardinerism in my internet forum activity: often lurking, seldom posting.)

In fact one of the reasons I actually post here is that I was creeping myself out, lurking. Does bootedbear remember that I read this site? Does he care? Will he think I'm some skeevy internet stalking dude when he realizes that MikeM is here too? (Bootedbear and I both hang out on about one short of a bazillion internet forums.)

For those who don't know already, bootedbear is one of the mysterious forces of the universe (or the internet, I constantly get those things confused). In fact, I suspect that when the GUTters get past their current fascination with E6, they'll realize bootedbear's been there all along, waiting to be found. Or, in an alternate cosmology, we'll all realize that the earth is flat and travels through space on the back of a bear (shod in boots).

Internet Search: "Head Shaving," "Shaved Head," I think those were the most likely terms.  SBG was a link on some other site.

I guess my post answered those questions.

[History: when I shaved my head for the first time, I posted a photo on one of the other sites MikeM and I frequent, and he directed me here. And introduced me to HeadLube.]

Or, in an alternate cosmology, we'll all realize that the earth is flat and travels through space on the back of a bear (shod in boots).
No wonder I need so much Ibuprofen! And I thought I was just getting old!  O:O

And now a suit!  Great pic BootedBear!
Thanks, Tyler. I just wish I didn't look so danged serious. I didn't feel that serious when I took that photo. (In fact, I don't think I ever feel that serious.)

I wanted a photo that showed how versatile sly is. Looks good with my usual tropical shirt, and looks good all spiffied up too!

I was looking for some tips on getting a better shave on my dome.  I found the Headblade and stole my wife's Apricot Scrub (Thanks Mike!)  O0
