Title: Tried it
Post by: Venom on January 27, 2012, 10:58:16 PM
Not as bald as I thought I'd look.
The shadow still visible.
Meh. Not a big deal actually.
I'll keep it.

Can I go cleaner???

How often would I need to shave it for it be considered a 30 day ordeal?

Looks good. I don't see that much of the shadow in the pictures.

LOL. My first self made, back of the head shot was as blurry as your's.  I did not share it with others.  It's a challenge to get a clear shot of the back of your head with a self portrait and no tripod.

As I understand the 30 day rule: You shave your head EVERY DAY for 30 days. No exceptions.  I take that to mean a minimum of 30 head shaves in 30 days.  Once every day and then if you want you can do more. i.e. if you want to shave before taking your wife or girlfriend out in the evening ... shave again before you go.

No, don't take Saturday and Sunday off.  Now I'm a pretty literal guy.  But we are talking about making a habit here.  So 30 days is a good minimum. If you can do that much, you can do more.  Did this with a diet a year or so ago. Stick hard core to the plan for 30 days.  Then you know you can keep it up.

To be OCD about it, you get to day 28 and miss .... well, you've got 30 more days to go, buddy!  LOL. 

I like the shine. Looks good.

The 30 day rule is stricly enforced by the Bald Police. You MUST shave at least every other day during the 30 day trial period. If you do not do this, the Bald Police will show up on your doorstep, at the pub, wherever and immediately shave you right in front of anyone present. This could be very embarassing.

Actually, that's just a bunch of crap. You've got to shave on the intervals that are best for you and your head.

It's lookin' good, Venom. Your head will tan if you get a "little" sun and as time goes by. ¡Ese! ¡No te preocuparse!

Venom, nice set of pictures. You look great shaved. I don't know what you mean by going cleaner since it is clean enough for me. Keep the beard, once again, you look great.

I don't know, Mike. The other day when I was thinking of not shaving (just for one day) ... The guys in uniform were knocking at the door with their weapons drawn!  Their 'bald police' badges were pretty impressive. I scrambled into the shower and took care of things before they hauled me 'downtown', or did it not the spot for me.

Hey Venom.  Looks good.  Not much you can do about the shadow unless you have the hair removed.  Feel free to modify the 30 day rule to suit your needs.  I never went by the rule.  I shaved it off and decided that's the way it's going to stay so day one was the same as day 30 for me.

This is Saturday. No bow tie today. Jeans and a flannel shirt to work in the garden.  Got some last minute daffodils in.  Some of last year's daffodils started blooming this week, so I'll have some early and some late due to the planting times.

But tomorrow is Sunday. Bow tie day.  Youth pastor and I both wear bow ties and both shave our heads!

So I re-shaved with a different razor and this time I kept it against the grain evenly.

It is WAY smoother. I think the shadow is even less.
With a tan in the summer it should cover up pretty well.

Here it is in the same lighting.
Probably can't tell any difference on picture but it's there.
Smooth both backwards and forwards
