Title: Hey everybody....
Post by: gautama on August 01, 2011, 07:42:41 PM

  Hey all! Just wanted to introduce myself. Last year my mother was diagnosed with bladder cancer. She had her bladder removed and began mild chemotherapy. A few months ago, April 1st no less, we found out that she is terminal.
  She began a series of chemotherapy that was supposed to shrink the cancer in order to give her a little more time. This chemo was not as harsh, but was guaranteed to make her hair fall out. I decided to shave my head as a show of solidarity. I also vowed never to grow my hair out again (good thing I'm dead sexy being sly  :) :)
  I currently use a Schick Hydro, but I plan on buying one of the Panasonic electric razors...soon. It takes me 15-20 minutes to shave with this damn razor for about 5 hours of smoothness... Anyway, I just wanted to say hey and its good to be here. Peace.

Welcome. If someone nearby my family was in that situation, I'd go sly in support as well. I'm almost there, now.
