Hey guys, i'm Jeff and new to the site.
I have been no guarding my noggin for quite a while but have decided to take the plunge and take it all the way off this Wednesday or Thursday when my Headblade kit gets here.

Glad to be here!

Welcome to the Forum, Jeff! Good luck... and please feel free to ask any questions you might have.
Thanks!
I'm sure I will have quite a few questions as I have never used a razor, only an electric shaver and clippers for my head.
Don't want to decapitate myself.

Welcome. You may want to use the electric to get it as short as possible then save it on down with a razor.

Welcome Jeff!

Welcome Jeff. You'll like the HeadBlade and the feel of the smooth scalp. Looking forward to your participation.
Make the commitment to 30-days of Sly which will get you "into the routine" and others used to the "new you."

Welcome to the club, Jeff.

Welcome, PilotJeff! Good Luck when you follow through with the deed!
-
Looks like you are bald by choice.
You'll like it.
Take it easy with the headblade at first. Light touch at first till you get used to it.

welcome

Welcome mate! When you finally do teh deed I cannot stress enough to not put any pressure on the blade at all, and to take it really slow. Also keep to straight strokes at first, if you start doing crazy turns and pressing to hard is when you are going to start doing some damage! I have personally had no problem with the Headblade, but I have heard many stories of people going potato peeler on their scalps!

Welcome aboard Jeff. Who do you fly for.?

Welcome Jeff. Congratulations for joining and deciding to go sly soon.
Some basics to follow :
Cut your hair as short as possible with your electric clipper. Wash your hair. Apply your shaving cream of choice. Use a brand new razor, it does not have to be the Headblade yet. Take your time, go slowly. Use your weaker hand to feel for any missing bits as you shave. If you pick up a few nicks the first time, don't fret, this is quite normal for the virgin noggin.
When you get the Headblade, keep the wheels on the head, but as already stated, use no pressure as this may slice you and put you off the Headblade for life. The Headblade is an awesome item but it may take a little practice. Watch the clip on the HB website, I found it very useful.

Go slowly and with patience you can get away with no cuts.
Good luck.

Best advice there. And like many others here, you practice as you go along.
Yes, you might want to use your electric razor first.
If you have a wet shave, then with the razor long gentle passes from front to back - in one go from forehead to neck.

Set the role model for the student pilots. Shave your head.
You'll be a trend setter and you'll feel cool with a shaved head.

As Slyfive has been saying, being sly makes you aerodynamic, what more can your students ask for from a cool aerodynamic flight instuctor? hehehe.

Welcome Jeff.

Welcome Jeff! Glad you decided to step out of the shadows... creep. J/K! ;D
I think bald will be a great look for you. Can't wait to see the results. Today or tomorrow, no? I think it's awesome that you fly. Truly an admirable profession.
Hope you enjoy your time here!
