Title: Greetings from South Africa
Post by: balddoc on May 09, 2012, 02:56:51 AM
Hi all. Been lurking for a few days and decided to join. I'm Mike, 34 year old dude from sunny SA.
I've been noticing my progressive hairloss for about three years and finally took the plunge and went sly a month ago. Weapons of choice: HeadBlade and Gillette Fusion.  I was a bit concerned as to how my colleagues would respond, but so far only positive comments and I think it looks way better shiny and smooth. No reason to look 34 from the front and 54 from the back...
This is a great forum with huge amounts of excellent advice. Really glad I found it.

@Blitzed: Dankie my ou. Dit was inderdaad 'n moerse besluit! Maar ek is tog bly ek het dit gedoen. Bly jy nou in die VSA?
To the rest of the guys: apologies for the Afrikaans private discussion. I assume Blitzed doesn't get to speak his home language too often.

Welcome Balddoc.   Great to have you on board and great country.  Lived in Joburg in the 1980's.    Still hoping to get back some day and visit friends in Kloof and Ermilo.     Sure you will like the group here, great people with great advice.

Welcome to SBG

Always sunny in SA. Been to Cape Town three times to visit close relatives. And three great visits. Learned a few words of Afrikaans. Which I have of course forgotten !

Keep us posted on your sly experiences.

Welcome to the forum, great choice in shaving it and taking control. I hope some of the fencer's will read your post and realize just how easy it is to make the decision to be free. It's a great feeling!   O0

Welcome bro
The sly look suits you very well
Agree with others, great country you live in. Where about in SA by the way?
I have been there about 10 times, usually once or twice a year. I have been all over, and truly enjoyed every single trip. I took my wife there once, before we had kids, and she loved it too.
