Title: Joined the ranks of the "Mr. Clean" SLY guys...
Post by: BALDANDRE on April 26, 2007, 08:16:06 AM
So last night, looked at the goat and thought it didn't look so hot, being trimmed a bit small lately(more than usual)...so i've been thinking about going "the full monty" and  shavin' the whole lot off anyways...

and did it...it's been years since i've seen the chin clean! I've got a cleft like my little , boy...whew, was wondering where that came from, it's been a long while since i've seen it!  At least for the moment kinda cool being a lot more bald than before (very bald, very CLEAN). Actually kind of like it for a change, I'll probably be back to my sly goated look soon enough...but this time I'm in no rush, never would have thought it!
 
I'll have to post my "Mr. Clean" avatar, once I can get a good pic.

Thanks.

Yea, the jury is still out on that one...even in MY camp (the one inside the shaved dome)...I plan to at least try it smooth for a couple days or a week...

heck we give the same advice for dudes shavin' their heads for the first time... why not do the same with the bald face! :)

So last night, looked at the goat and thought it didn't look so hot,



Whenever I get that feeling, I know it's time for a trim.  Once it's trimmed and tidied up, I start liking it again and wonder how I could even think of shaving it.

I've had my goat since August '05.   I kept it for a month and then shaved it off and quickly realized that I'd made a huge mistake and grew it back right away.  I was amazed at how quickly I got used to it.  I don't think I'll ever see my chin again.

So the verdict from the wifey came back ( she never sees me in the morning and didn't catch me when i shaved the night before)...so her verdict was she really liked it, said I should at least keep it for a while...she said it makes me look younger! Geez, at this rate ditchin' the brows would put me at about 18-19 years old.

Just kidding...me, no brows ..seriously...SCARY!

I love the totally clean feeling also but I'm one of those guys who have sort of a double chin.  Not real bad but there is a big difference in my appearance with a goat and without.  If I could ever drop some of these pounds I've been wanting to loose I could probably shape the face up a little more.  But I just love to eat.  It's so hard to lose anything even when working out when I'm not cutting back on what I'm eating.  Oh well, as long as I'm happy I guess?

Brothers, ever know a fat attack dog?  Not a possibility, because what is the Animal supposed to be angry about?  Any creature that is fed regularly and well is going to be Jolly!  Just work out hard, and give up the Crap food though, that always helps loose the Bad Fat, and it leaves nothing but Sly remaining.

I love eating as well, why do you think I have to work out so hard/long to loose one lb?... O0

Mr. Clean we got another thing in common brother! I pretty much work out now, with just weights (no time for cardio these days with the little one, in time)...i find i'm maintaining my weight and not loosing the muscle, which to me is the most important right now...

as long as the guns look good and I keep the upper areas in check I'm ok for now...

 the gut will follow when i get a chance to focus on that...hopefully! 8)

If you don't have time for cardio, or just hate doing it, try a circuit training routine when lifting weights.  It adds in the cardio portion without you felling like you're doing cardio.

Definately good advice,  I like cardio....just i have 1 hr exactly ( the time I gave myself) and i do the weights without much time in between, for a cardio-like workout..

you'll see Tyler, i'm a HUGE proponent of working out, religiously, especailly being an older dad...just right now, and you'll see this, EVERY minute that you COULD be with the little one, you want to be...because this time WILL not be forever...

but balance IS good...the full workout will come back soon!

I hear what you're saying bro but the problem is that the "crap food" is what I love so much.   :-\ ;D

If you can grow into a regimen, the best use of time for cardio is first thing in the morning, especially during the summer months. Although I try and get most of my work done first thing in the morning (my company is based in NY with me in CA), I love running at 5am. That way, I get my workout in before wife & kids get up, and I still have the rest of the day for work and family activities.

By the way, I hit my goal...200 lbs by April 30th.

Congrats schro on making your goal. Nice going.  And I gotta agree, early morning cardio is the greatest for a couple of reasons, 1) you don't have to try to fit it in if the day gets crazy, 2) puts you in a good mental place by energizing you first thing in the day, and 3)  best of all that good workout reduces body fluids and helps to keep that slick feeling and sly look longer.

Something I've found that helps with the itching, is to exfoliate the skin under the facial hair when you do the noggin.

yea, for some reason it's not as scary this time around...plus i really dig it...and so does the wifey! ;)

Paul , please, if you tried it , with those guns and that noggin'....you gotta try it once...I'd look like a punk up next to you!

I mean, you tried shaving your head clean, and liked it...why not try it for a week, you're a natural dude! 8)

We'll have to see, shaving the dome was no problem.  Grown kinda attached to the goat.,  Got a round head and face and I think it helps to make me look thinner than I am.

Aww, you're preaching to the choir on that one, I know where you're coming from! Hey, it's always good motivation to lose those lb.'s that have been buggin' you...at least that what i tell myself...

let's see if the goatless look helps with that last 10+ plus that have been buggin' me for the last 4 years!  ;)

Sounds cool dude...i used to love going into a shop and telling the dude to shave it all off clean...

but doing the head and shaving off the goat you got going to BECOME Mr. Clean...that would up the transformation experience...

you going into the shop with some stubble on your head too?

Gotta tell you brother, I'm diggin' the Mr. Clean thing! 8)

BaldAndre, I definatly hear you brother.  I might not shave for a day or two uptop so as to have the whole velcro effect up north working as well.  I live by the CLEAN look.  It feels great to feel the smooth glide of your ladies fingers all over your smooth dome, gliding across with no resistance... Man, I got to go and see some magic fingers  :@`

Man, you gotta show some pics of that for sure...it would be a trip to actually see the baldhead/ face with the BLEACHED brows...most times you see a dude at halloween, he's got the fake white stuff on them, looks weird...blonde though..dude pics are a must..

speaking of which, and not to pick..... i dig the avatar, but you know the shadow on your face makes you look like you're sportin' a goat.... been meaning to tell you that for a while now ;)

I also hear you on the fuzz scraping at the barbershop...just it'll be tough being fuzzy even for those couple days, right? i mean they don't call you "Mr. Clean" for nothin"!

I've been disappointed with every barbershop headshave I've ever gotten -- with the exception of one shop that is no longer in business  :(  Most places use a straight razor and shave only with the grain.  You'll look bald when you leave the shop, but the result is nowhere near as smooth as what you can do at home with a Fusion, Mach III or HB.

Ditto on that.  I have only had it done at the barber twice, but both times looked great, wasn't the smooth I can do myself.

The key to a perfect barbershop shave is to find a barber that is into it...i have found that a lot of young hispanic barbers totally dig shavin' you bald! They take pride in making you a true pel'on! I went to this kid that said...bald heads are my specialty, let's do it!....

spent 1/2 hour getting it smoother than i have ever had it...he scraped it everyway possible.... very nice... he was pround of my gleamin' dome!

I was balder than bald that day! O0

Ever been to the Whittier area...I'll have to think of the place...ok, I'm stupid, i know how to get to things visually...never pay attnetion to street signs...i think the shop is on Penn between Greenleaf and Painter in the uptown....

put it this way, if you're really wanting to do it, I'll find out what the name of the place was...

just keep in mind that was at least 3 yrs ago....
