Title: I just converted, and does it feel GREAT!!!
Post by: Dementor on April 24, 2007, 08:50:22 PM
Oh man where to start, I just started balding when I turned 19, I'm bout to turn 20. You couldn't really tell that I was balding but I was slowly and surely. And I was happy that I caught it so early cause then all those hair loss products would work better. But one day I was introduced to this forum by a fellow member (Sorry bro i forgot your name, but Many Thanks). I just came to a realization, that I didn't really want to go through all the trouble and headaches of balding. I kept seeing all those depressing hair loss forum threads, and while I knew I wouldn't turn out depressed like many of those men and women losing hair, I didn't feel like being bothered by "sheds and all those products". Today I finally decided that i would go for it, and damn !!! I'm happy i did it, looks great and my whole family, except my sister who thought I looked like a cancer patient for the first 5 minutes ... haha, had great reactions.

Now I just have to figure out where I can buy all those headblade products I keep reading about, any of you guys know any good places to buy those types of products?

Here's some pics.

Very Sly Dementor...congrats!
I picked my headblade razor and slick shaving oil from CVS. Walgreens is another place that could carry it. Of course you can get from their site like pburke said, but like you I kinda jumped on the look quickly, so I didn't want to wait on a package.
I did have to order the Matte for Men from their site.... No one in my town carries it.

Welcome Dementor.  Looks great bro.  There are a few places you can find the HB products if you have certain stores in your area.  Wal-Greens, Eckerd, Rite-Aid, CVS, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and a few others I'm not sure of.  But the one sure way would be headblade.com but you end up having to pay S&H.  But some of the products you can't get in a store just yet so you have to order on line anyway if you want them.  Such as the HeadClear from HB that which is used to apply after shaving to prevent razor bumps.  Then there is the HeadShed which is a preshave lotion for exfoliating.  Those two I haven't found in any stores in my area yet.  But the blade itself, HeadSlick(shave cream), and the HeadLube(after shave lotion) can all be found at most local stores.  Good luck bro and welcome to the sly side.

Welcome, Dementor.  You already look very comfortable in your new 'skin.'  Thanks for posting the pic.  Let us know how things go with your friends, workplace, etc.  One place I don't think I saw mentioned to buy Headblade products is in Wal-Mart... what don't they have?

Welcome aboard Dementor! It looks great on you. You can't even imagine how much mental BS you spared yourself by taking charge of your look right up front. Good move.  8)

welcome dementor,
I've been impressed with the head blade products, using HeadShed, HeadSlick, HeadLUbe and HeadShade to prevent burning the pale head. They deliver really fast after placing an online order and there is a 20% discount for SBG members (see members only forum)

Looks great on you by the way

Haha thanks, doesn't take that long been doing it for bout 1 and 1/2 years now. I think I got the hang of it by now ;)

Over time I'm probably going to start extending the "mini Lincoln" over on to my right side side of the head. Shave by Shave it will grow into some kind of tribal pattern, symbolizing my growth as a ...man.... what too deep hahah. I just thought it might look cool, Keep you updated :)
Once again Thanks for all the Great Welcomes!!!

 O0 Welcome, Dementor. As Mikesj mentioned, you've saved yourself a pile of grief by embracing the sly style at this time. My daughter was also "cool" about my going sly, in November 2006, but has now completely turned around. It takes a bit of time and a reorientation to the future, rather than a nostalgia for the past. And this is the era to adopt the slick dome. Once Katie noted how many men, of every age from late adolescence through their sixties, were shaving their head in Hollywood, where she works, she became comfortable with dad's new look. The shaved look certainly complements your face. All best, Professor Melon
