Title: Came across this while looking at how people shave their heads
Post by: BaldJJ on April 29, 2012, 09:55:21 PM: Hey fellow Sly guys!

I came across this video on head shaving and thought it looked pretty good. I am wondering about the whole "with the grain" method since I read a lot of posts on here about how you don't get a close enough shave going WTG vs. ATG...

Anyways, here's the vid: http://youtu.be/mADvSbLDE4s (http://youtu.be/mADvSbLDE4s)

Would love to hear your feedback on the video and method! I'm thinking about giving it a try since I always seem to NEVER get every inch of the top of my head...

This vid makes the shaving thingy look so..complicated and..damn, it's nothing I'm used to know.
As for me, it's way simplier.
The thing is that: if you try something new, stick with it, because that's the only way you'll get the hang of it. If you keep on trying new stuffs in order to replace the old ones, you'll never get anywhere.

Perhaps trying a new shaving technique will serve you well. Just remember there are only so many things you can do before you have to give in and say this is the best for me and stick with it. In contrast to the video I do shave against the grain but I went bald for a year before.. I can handle that, you may not be able to yet.

I think any and all methods can work equal well if you use good quality equipment and stick with them long enough to become proficient in them. Best of luck.

Each to there own I suppose, he makes it look very complicated. I just do a single pass against the grain, repeat if still stubbly.

If it helps fence sitters shave I'm all for it!

Post by: RoWilJr on April 30, 2012, 08:15:13 AM: True...makes it seem more complicated than not. Me, shave ATG, feel for any missed spots, then WTG. I always re-lather in between.

How did the guy harass people?

He was sending out PMs about free head shaving tips, that was my experience anyway. But the wording was kinda strange. When I read the PMs I got from the guy all I can say is they were creepy. Kinda like the feeling I get when someone I don't know is staring at me in a restaurant.

Post by: Baldstu on May 05, 2012, 01:05:14 AM: None of us know anything about the guy but his conduct was odd and possibly invasive . I agree Buddha about someone staring at you in a restaurant , but there is a reason why people do that , it could be any number of behavioural conditions or lifestates . Such things do slightly intrigue me , i dont want to make assumptions about someone whom I have never met and is unlikely to meet . This forum will attract similar beings who possibly want to be noticed or are lonely . Cyberspace has a lot of lonely folk who have the potential to create havoc .
