Title: Back to Bald
Post by: Timmer on August 21, 2010, 11:30:03 PM

I've been buzzed on and off most of my life.  Semi-long when i wasn't.  I'm a retired Air Force Master Sergeant and many times in my career it was simply easier to just buzz it all off, especially in those ares with sand fleas. 

Over the years, MPB has set in and in 2005 I just figured, what the heck and wet shaved it for the first time.  Loved it.  I retired from the AF in 2007 and let my hair grow out again and over the past couple years have tried one way and another and my MPB isn't getting any better and then the last time I was in my barber's chair, I caught her messing with my hair in the back to cover the "thin spot."  And then a couple weeks later it was just HOT.  I took it off.  I don't think I'll let it grow out again.

I shave in the shower.  I use the Headblade Sport and Headslick.  The Original Headblade never quite worked for me, but the Sport, I'm a fan.  Can't recommend it enough.  I like cool gadgets that work well.  I use Aveeno Lotion when I'm done.    When I can't find or afford Headwipes, I use Wet Ones for Sensitive Skin to keep the oil down.  It's got witch hazel and some moisturizers.  It's recommended for babies.  i think it's awesome for my noggin. 

Glad I found you guys on Facebook and here.  It's kind of fun to see what other people are using/doing with their sly selves.

Thanks all.  I didn't expect such a warm welcome.

It's such a weird fraternity when you think about it.
