Title: This....place.....is.......spectacular....'nuff said.
Post by: Bald Weasel on July 13, 2012, 06:58:16 PM: Three days ago, in the middle of the night, I decided to do my usual home clipper trim.
Got it all together, when outside on the porch, clicked on and started....for about .08sec.
No clipper blade on it.
THOSE words (and worse) that used to get my mouth washed out with soap emerged in a machine gun pattern.
I had ran the clippers nearly 2" straight up my forehead toward the top of my head.
Having kept my hair clipper short for most of my adult life, (I'm 41) like a #2 sides and a #3 top, I tried to calm myself down and
say "Ahhhh....it will grow back, finish the job! So, I did.
I was correct, it wasn't THAT bad, but it looked.....hmmm....unfinished.
Then EPIPHANY!!
I'll shave the rest off.
Inside...wash head....lather scalp....3-4mins later...bald.
Bloody, bumpy, abraided and blotchy..but bald.
Another shower, so I didn't resemble a machete attack survivor, and to bed.
The next day I jump on the laptop because I knew there must be someone, at least ONE, person that might be in the same boat as me and I could glean some wisdom from.
Google search "new bald help" and short-ish story shorter, I find HERE. O0
LURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURKLURK....etc...etc...
Today??
After a St Ives Invigorating Apricot exfoliation scrub, a slooooooow, deft HeadBlade Sport shaving with Head Slick, a double rub down with Witch Hazel and Nivea for Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
My pale noggin looks over 100% better and, well, just pale and SMOOTH!
All of the information I gathered from here turned a bad situation into a much, much better
one. One that I like, a lot.
Sooooo......
My name is Keith, that's a little bit about how I found myself here, a member (soon to be a contributing one I'm sure) and THANK YOU!!!!!

Post by: mrzed on July 13, 2012, 07:21:19 PM: I did that once, by accident, just before a speaking trip. Ok. Buzz the head all over. No guard. Well at least it looks uniform.

And look at me today. Shaved smooth. You'll love it.

Welcome to the sly world.

Welcome to SBG.
LOL at Mr. Jules....Welcome, Keith! As the other guys said, if you have questions, or need help, we're here! Stick around and post often!

Post by: Bald Weasel on July 14, 2012, 12:06:18 PM: Wow.........
The welcomes keep a'rollin in!
Definitely different from other Boards and Forums I've been on before.
MrJules, I have learned from prior episodes of scatterbrained emergencies, laptops are slightly more delicate
than trampolines. :*))
Personally, I am feeling better and better about my unexpected SlyDom (lol).
Thank you MrZed and Andrei for letting me know I'm not the only one.
I wonder if your expressions matched mine?? :o
With the exception of the cursing, of course. I was unaware I could still string together such a litany!
Well, not since my last motorcycle accident. LoL!!
Thanks again.

Post by: mrzed on July 14, 2012, 12:30:36 PM: Keith, no regrets here about shaving bald. I was seriously hoping that I should shave with no guard one day, but the day it happened it was a genuine mistake.

Now I shave my head very smooth every day on purpose. Almost to six months now. I love it when my wife rubs/massages my bald head. Exquisite feeling. It did not take long to get used to it.

My younger daughters still roll their eyes, but I take that as a sign of approval. (They are in the 20's and still live at home).

Post by: Andrei on July 16, 2012, 08:47:44 AM: Keith, I've seen you have updated your avatar, the shave looks great on you.
And no, no cursing, just enjoying the look and feel. 8) Hope you're happy about the change too.
