Title: Great to join the Member List....
Post by: Johnny Foster on April 24, 2011, 10:08:27 PM: Hello Everyone - :)

Great to be here - just joined, and I've been sly for 16 years now ( I'm 47 ).

This is a terrific "support" site for those of us who made a decision to embrace who we are and what we look like. I, like many others here, hid under a "system" for over 10 years, and finally made the decision when I was 31 to be me, and I never looked back.

Congrats to all here that have the courage and the individuality to be themselves.

BTW - I found you by doing a review search on purchasing the Panasonic ESLA63S Wet/Dry Razor, as I've finally tired of cutting myself with a Gillette "Good News" razor in the shower, not to mention it takes me over an hour in the shower to shave myself completely !

I'm hoping this new purchase will speed-up and simplify my grooming regimen, as I can't stand to have shadow anywhere on my person, and hopefully this investment will make being "sly", easier and less physically painful..

Great to be here, and keep up the great work on this site !

JF.

Post by: Johnny Foster on April 27, 2011, 12:28:55 AM: Thanks again for the warm welcome, everyone - what a great "support" group for us "Sly" guys ! Very cool !

Speaking of "sly" - what exactly does "sly" mean within the context of shaving your head smooth ? Sorry I don't know, as you must have answered this 1000 times here. I'd love to learn the origins of this term.

And... it's not very clear as to how to post your photo as your avatar here on the SBG Forum - any shortcuts / tips would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks !

- John.

Hi Deman !

Thanks for the welcome, for the info on the Panasonic ; I don't get the new razor until next Tuesday ( UPS shipping, and free, so not overnight, unfortunately ! ). Great tip on the Shave Secret oil - I'll get some of that - I really appreciate the tip !

Best,
John.
