Title: Closet bald guy comes out
Post by: The Urban Cowboy on May 15, 2011, 03:21:56 PM: Hey everyone! I have been wanting to go bald for quite a while, and recently decided to go for it. Shaved my head with clippers last weekend, shaved with a razor yesterday, and used an electric razor today.

I came about this place in my research for an electric that would do the job, and have been lurking ever since.

Great place, here, with a lot of resources.

Purchased a Panasonic ES-8228S, basically because I like the fact it came with a cleaner, and that it was a three blade...I figured the four blade might be awkward.

I can't tell you how right on people were on their reviews of the Panasonic's. I definitely will be using mine a lot!

Now, if I can only get my q-tip white head to match the rest of my color I'll be doing good.

Just wanted to say howdy, and let ya'll know that the information found here is awesome!

I know everyone has personal preferences, but I'm curious why not a blade?

Thanks, I tried the blade, and probably because I'm new at this, it took me a long time. I figured with an electric, it would be a faster process for me.

Once my head toughens up, I'll be using a blade more and more though.

Looks like a great unit! Congrats on your decision!
