Title: A few posts into but I forgot to introduce myself!
Post by: Craig Reed on July 12, 2010, 08:54:57 PM: Why hello out there! My name is Craig Reed, and am happy to be a new member to Sly Bald Guys. I am 26 years old, and have been shaving my head for nearly 6 years now, and couldn't be happier about it.

I am from Seattle, WA and am here to help out other people who may be on the fence with shaving their head, and help them through that process. You can learn a little bit more from my other posts, but wanted to stop on in and say hello here first (proper forum protocol!)

I am on a mission to be the Headblade User of the Month, and just received an email from Todd Greene from Headblade who has given me confirmation after I conquer my current journey of weightloss. Love the support a forum like this provides people (including myself) Please feel free to shoot me an message if you have any questions on how I jumped into the "sly" look, or any other balding questions. I'm here to help!

Hello again to all, and thank you in advance for the welcome!

Post by: Craig Reed on July 13, 2010, 10:12:48 PM: Hey, thanks guys! I started shaving my head and have many different things -

1st - Used a Mach 3 (per internet research) but always had trouble cutting my head, and could never really get a "rhythm" down with it. Could never properly get behind my ears, and just found it awkward (especially when not in the shower)

2nd- Moved to Schick Quattro thinking 4 blades was better than 3, but the razor was even more bulky and awkward for me personally, and finally moved on to the Headblade.

3rd- Started with headblade classic (no wheels) and loved it. Easy to use, lightweight, and could get into a lot of the tight spaces (behind ears, sideburns etc) Also began using Headslick at this point, and love it (kinda pricey however)

4th - Upgraded to the Headblade Sport (with wheels) and just when you couldn't think perfection could get better, the shave is so much smoother, no pressure needed, and I fly through my morning headshave in about 3 minutes now. I personally use neutrogena after shave balm, but have recently started using Headblade Moisturinzing Lotion SPF 30. A nice matte finish, dries quickly into your head leaving is soft and "supple" and most importantly provides me with some sun protection because sometimes you don't plan on being outside, or it is upposed to be cloudy, and then the sun comes out and you end up with a red head. I have found, better safe than sorry!
