Title: Now That's Done It!
Post by: leighmundo40 on September 09, 2012, 11:40:27 AM
Have been away to London this weekend with my partner. Before we set off I asked him if he would buzz my hair with the usual grade 2 setting. Roughly 30 seconds after he started he goes "Oh crap! the gaurd wasn't on properly! It's just come off and Ive cut a "bit" without a gaurd!"

A "Bit" was more like a big strip going down the middle of my head! I had no choice, it's all had to be buzzed off with no gaurd to make it all look even!

I know I said that I was considering going shorter, but Jeez!!!! I feel naked!

My partner LOVES it, but my parents prefer it longer. Let's see what the work people say tomorrow! :x!

How do you feel about the hairless look ?  Your partner LOVES it and that's important.  The rest of everyone takes a far back seat on the bald trolly car.

Parents always prefer hair longer. Don't listen to them!

"In for a penny, in for a pound."

Might as well go all the way and finish the job with a razor.

Visually it won't look any different - but for you and any head-rubbers (e.g., your partner) it's extraordinary!

And has been said before, worst case ... it'll grow back to stubble in a few days.

Do it ...

Wow, I guess the damage is done, might as well grab the razor and go full sly now! Nothing holding you back, and you with you are liking the no guard you will love full sly!

Well, I don't "mind" it, I feel cold or boiling hot! no inbetween!

I actually think that I look a bit better with some hair, so I think Ill let it grow out a bit but keep it at a Number 1 gaurd rather than the Number 2.

A colleague this morning, looked at me and said "Have you had nits?"  Years ago in UK schools, outbreaks of headlice were controlled by kids having their heads shaved, something about the nits not being able to cling on!

That's a time, frontier guy. That's a time. Agree. Just go for it since you are so close give it a 30 day try. Good way to turn an honest mistake into a success story and a new hair style.

Now is the time.

Yeah, some people do that in Australia too.

Glad to hear you don't "mind" it haha, I found it did take a bit of getting used too, that is why I always stuff a beanie in my back pocket now... well at least until spring decides it wants to appear, instead of just teasing me! But besides, a #1 is one step closer then a #2! So congrats on that... maybe you'll eventually decide you want to eventually go no guard/full sly, I guess only time will tell :D

Time told me!

It was not long after I buzzed to #1, that I buzzed no guard, and shaved was not far behind.  When your hair is that short, hot/cold does not feel that much different when shaved bald.

The look is similar, but the smooth feel of a shaved head is something to experience.  Something I want to experience each morning.

Yeah, show us this buzz job.  How much to you want to bet you will look even better if you shave it.  Come on, give it a go.  You're almost there.  It would be a shame to "waste" time wondering.  Get your partner to help...!!! ::)

Glad you have been able to go a bit shorter..if not entirely by choice..I would echo some of the other comments, you are not that far away from taking the next step at that length, but if that isn't what you want right now stick with the no.1

From what I can tell you will look great sly, so when you decide to take the leap of faith you will have absolutely nothing to worry about! Thanks for sharing your new look though... if only we could see it without the blankie :D

AND bald guys are better looking than guys with hair - - we all agree with that - - -go 30 days and then you will realize how great it is to be BALD

I don't see the point of wasting 10 minutes a day doing that, I shaved my head so I don't have to worry about my head...

I don't know why you would want to go to so much trouble to hide your baldness anyway, for the most part the only one that is going to notice you're bald after you shave your head is you.
Title: Re: Now That's Done It!
Post by: Beardman on September 18, 2012, 01:54:38 AM
The worst part is, you are trying to profit off it!

If you truly wanted to help you would offer the information up freely. Why would anyone want to pay you for the name of a product that they then have to pay for?

Yes, but your bald buddies want to see what's under the cap.  Go ahead and wear the cap in public, but we'd like to see a bald picture!  Proof!  LOL. 

Wear your bald head proudly.  Show it off.  I only wear a hat when I MUST.  Really like showing off the bald head.
