It has made my head feel very smooth, but eww... I cant stand the feeling of it on my hands.
Do you many of you use it?
-
No, my skin is oily enough as it is.
-
Really? It doesnt look too oily.
I've had to use a face exfoliator to get it off my hands. Eww.
-
i use cocoa butter baby oil on my head... but i have super dry scalp...
-
On a shaved head, WTF? :/O I use it or Shave Secret under the lather--but after shaving never--imagine a shiny baby's butt--smooth as, okay, smelling like one, not for this guy. I get enough shine naturally. After shave for me is Nivea Extreme balm, then so sunscreen and finally a little aloe gel, but baby oil--sounds like you've got too much time on your hands in addition to baby oil. But hey, different strokes for different folks--I'm very accepting :D, so if it floats your boat.
-
:o if you have enough shine naturally, why put Aloe on your head? All that really does (or all thats been scientifically proven beyond a doubt) is to put a shine on your head
I tried baby oil today because my scalp was feeling a little dry. I use all kinds of things, depending on my mood, but baby oil is something I hardly ever use because of the feel of it on my skin, and today I was reminded why I hate it so much :(
I dont like any cocoa butter products though. Shea butter is much better than cocoa butter
-
I only use L'occitane cade shaving cream on my face, and their Cade after shave balm after I shave, and when I finally shave my head permanently I will probably use those on my head too.
They aren't greasy and I love the smell of juniper berries.

Gin $#*t O0

Yes he likes a drop of mother's ruin from time to time :)

Gin Lane by Hogarth comes to mind.
-
Thats way too cultured and intelligent for me :)
The only thing that comes to mind when I think of gin is a rather unfortunate incident I found myself in a few years ago in Trafalgar Square :o
-
maybe it's the mexico part of me, but i don't know what you guys are talking about...
my dad used to throw baby oil in his hair... never knew why... so i started doing the same thing because, well, i guess he had eczema too... my dad just had it on his head, but i get it on my face and neck too... sucks... i got all of my father's bad genes... no one else but me...
btw... why did you change the before and after pic...? 'twas better than pink bike with toto basket...

Okay, tell us more--was it a "battle?"

No, a bottle. :D

That wasn't you taking a whiz against Admiral Nelson was it.?

Where does baby oil come from, anyway? :D

There used to be an public toilet/lavatory/whatever you want to call it, in Trafalgar Square. It was a standalone unit, and it looked a little like a telephone booth. You go inside, you put a coin in the slot, and the door closes automatically. You take care of business, and then the door opens again, either when you push a button to open the door, or after 10 minutes. Thats the maximum amount of time you're given to take care of business. If you're not done after 10 minutes, its tough titty, the door will open whether you want it to or not.
Anyway I had so much gin (and wine) that night that I went in there to take care of business, but the two friends I was with were too desperate to wait for me to take care of my business that they crowded in there at the same time as I did, and we were so blitzed and the business took so long, that the door opened automatically and there were three guys in there instead of one, and the police officers patrolling Trafalgar Square that night thought we'd been taking care of a different type of business.
I dont know if you've ever seen Charing Cross police station. Its only a short walk from Trafalgar Square. Delightful place...

Almost sorry I asked! ;D
-
Well when I think of gin, I think of police uniforms. Not a pleasant memory.

Well gin does things to people--I was taking some friends to the airport one summer between terms, their plane was delayed, we started drinking gin gimlets--I came to at the Plaza in NYC the next morning! My wife won't let me have gin gimlets--so I sneek them in, like when she's out of town. Those things are lethal--but fun. O0
-
Well the 'three guys in a can' incident was really my only alcohol-related nightmare, thankfully. I quite like feeling a little 'merry' but I hate the feeling of being drunk, so its only happened a couple of times.
-

Well, now you've got us wondering about your nightmares without alcohol? ;D
-
Oh believe me, I have plenty of stories to tell...but that was the only one involving alcohol that I can remember. All the other times I did things I shouldnt, my mind was more or less completely sober. And that makes them even worse :o

So that should have been, ". . .a couple of times that I remember." ;D
-
You're right :)
Booze has given me some added 'dutch courage' in the past, to do some things I wouldnt have usually had the balls to do, but that was the only time the demon drink got me into trouble. As far as I can remember ;)
However, I've become a boring old man and now I just spend my time working, eating haggis and chatting about bald heads.

Well, except for that haggis part--sounds like a lot of us here, although I'm going to catch it for lumping some of them with "boring old" part :D. I thought our family Christmas delight, lutefisk, was unusual, haggis beats it hands down.
-
Ok, now you know you're going to have to spill the beans, doncha. Lutefisk? :o

Well the Scandavians who came here brought this with them, although they don't eat it too much in the old country my cousins tell me. It's sort of a salt cod, cured in lye--yup lye--then when it is like a thick jellylike texture it's either roasted and served with brown butter or boiled or simmered and served with white sauce. My wife, who's family is French and Irish, tried one taste and ordered pizza. I kind of like the stuff, reminds me of Christmas and home--but it's a distinct taste and I don't think it can be learned or acquired, you have to be born with the gene. The dish made it to Wikipedia--they're desperate for copy--and the only thing I don't recognize is a picture of a plate with color--I think that's heresy for real fans of lutefisk.

That sounds, officially, disgusting.
-
This place is starting to resemble Fear Factor.
-
My fault. Im a bad influence :(
-
:o Everyone has vanished :o
:-\ :'(
-
Yikes - haggis, lutefisk, and gin-induced escapades all in the same day! Thank goodness the day comes to close in less than an hour. i don't think my boring old self could stand anymore excitement like this!!!!
-
I dont think you're boring. As we say here, 'there's life in the old dog yet' :D
Not that you're a dog, obviously...

Where does baby oil come from, anyway? :D
Baby oil -- made from real babies! The first pressing is considered the finest.

Sort of like "Soylent Green".

Rachel Ray calls it EVBO.

I use a little baby oil before I put on shaving lather to shave. IT makes the shave much smoother.

Surely she calls it "EVBO -- Extra Virgin Baby Oil."

That's right, the purpose of an acronym is so that you can explain what it means right after you say it, right? Saves so much time!
