Title: New slyguy
Post by: bobster on August 08, 2012, 01:45:09 AM
Hey guys just wanna say a massive thank you to every one of you. Ive been a long time lurker . And i finally built up enough courage to shave my head at the age of 26 it was a bit depressing at first but it helped reading this forum big time as i saw i was not the only young guy with thinning hair and now im happier than ever!

Hello and welcome Bobster.

Congratulations on your decision. It is indeed rewarding to know that we have helped someone come to terms with hairloss, and to de stigmatise shaving bald as a solution.

Welcome to SBG, Bobster.

See you are from as Scotland. So how about Chris Hoy's six golds victory now ? Terrific !!!

Post by: bobster on August 08, 2012, 07:03:38 AM
Hey mr jules. i think that he now has the most golds for a British athlete at the olympics ever which to be quite honest is amazing :-) . I heard that he also has to get trousers specially made for him self as his thighs are that big! Crazy lol

Doesn't surprise me about him needing special trousers.

Well if you saw Chris Hoy's performance in the Olympic velodrome last night --- what a hero.

How many days have you been shaving your head ?

About 3 days i had been buzzing it for about 2 months but was getting quite bad rash just above the nape of my neck but using a razor seems to have sorted it. Ive also purchased some witch hazel aswell just incase. Whats the best way to use it do u know ?

Bobster,

You can get bottled witch hazel from your local chemist - about 2 quid.

Dab it on your post shaven head with cotton wool.

I dont think any question about anything on this forum is stupid man. All the guys seem quite understanding which is quite nice. Cause there isnt alot of understanding people in this world today tbh!

Way to go bobster....looks amazing O0

I would advocate a beard but then I am slightly biased, have you grown one before going sly?
Title: Re: New slyguy
Post by: Sir Harry on August 10, 2012, 03:27:19 AM
Looks good, bobster! Facial hair, if you want it, certainly can't hurt!

Looking good Bobster.

Looking at your photograph, I think you can get away with wearing the Sly look without any facial hair.
Title: Re: New slyguy
Post by: kalbo on August 10, 2012, 08:42:51 PM
Shaved looks great on you Bobster, brings out your eyes. Since you can grow facial hair, I suggest you try it and see which are you most comfortable and confident with, although a clean face looks great on you.

Post by: bobster on August 10, 2012, 11:42:41 PM
